Montale Vanilla Extasy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Pierre Montale. Vanilla Extasy opens with Apricot Blossom and Apricot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Resins, Sandalwood, Mahogany, and Benzoin. Montale's Vanilla Extasy carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - Vanilla Extasy is a divisive Montale that’s more about a fruity-floral amber than a true gourmand vanilla. Many find it reminiscent of Flowerbomb, while others say it's more refined. Expect compliments, but don't expect a straight vanilla bomb.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

It kicks off with a bright, juicy apricot and its delicate blossom, quickly settling into a heart where jasmine and ylang-ylang mingle with a subtle, airy vanilla. As it dries down, warm resins, creamy sandalwood, and a hint of mahogany emerge, giving it a soft, balsamic finish. It's a sweet, woody floral with an amber embrace, rather than a full-on vanilla dessert.
