Vanilla Extasy

by Pierre Montale

Montale Vanilla Extasy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Pierre Montale. The fragrance opens with Apricot and Apricot Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Vanilla, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Resin, Sandalwood, Mahogany, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on Vanilla Extasy: Acquired

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.

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.
