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 a Statement verdict, a sweet-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.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinctive, smoky-sweet profile make it better suited for evening dates and formal events rather than a quiet office environment. While some might enjoy it casually, its strong character could be overwhelming for everyday wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
