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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and unique profile make it less ideal for the office, but its warm, sensual character and complexity suit dates and sophisticated casual wear. It's a bit too specific for formal events and entirely out of place for sport.

About

Vaniglia opens with a surprising boozy, almost medicinal kick, quickly settling into a robust, dry vanilla that's far from sweet or gourmand. Hints of dark chocolate and warm spices weave through, creating a creamy, slightly smoky depth. It evokes a sense of old-world charm, finishing as a luxurious, long-lasting skin scent that's more vanilla extract than sugary treat.
