Vaniglia Del Madagascar, from I Profumi di Firenze was released at unknown year. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. The notes are Cream, Lily-of-the-Valley, Vanilla.
Vaniglia del Madagascar feels intensely Italian, as I suppose it should considering the house’s heritage. It’s a shockingly strange combination of notes which at first I found a little weird and off putting if I’m honest, but the longer it’s been on my skin the more it’s growing on me. Lily of the valley is a note I love and adore, a flower which provides no natural raw material to use in perfumery, and so synthetic accords vary drastically in accuracy. This doesn’t smell like the lily of the valleys I know and love, but that’s not a bad thing. Instead it comes across intensely soapy, like sudsy white bars of soap in a sparkling garden of flowers. The creamy vanilla brings a much needed sweetness to the party, but doesn’t dominate, they mingle with each other in perfect harmony. To me, this smells like an expensive bar of soap in a fancy Italian hotel. Glorious, but I’m not sure I’d buy a bottle.
