Laboratorio Olfattivo Vanagloria is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Dominique Ropion. Vanagloria opens with Saffron and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean, Incense, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Vanagloria carries an Acquired verdict, a balsamic-led wear.

This Dominique Ropion creation divides opinion sharply, with some reviling its 'burnt rubber' opening, while others are utterly seduced by its smoky, sexy vanilla dry-down. If you can push through the rough start, you're in for a complex, masterful vanilla that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for compliments.

About

Vanagloria opens with an unexpected, almost jarring, burst of smoky pineapple and pungent saffron, a combination some find off-putting. This quickly evolves into a luxurious heart of rich incense and warm tonka, lending a balsamic depth. The journey culminates in a potent, dark vanilla and musk base, creating a smooth, inviting, and long-lasting sillage that's both sweet and subtly smoky.
