Vanilla Extasy, from Montale was released in 2008. The perfumer behind this creation is Pierre Montale. It has the top notes of Apricot and Apricot Blossom, middle notes of Jasmine, Vanilla, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Benzoin, Mahogany, Resins, and Sandalwood.
Sweet but more spacious take on vanilla. Extasy is a wonderful composition, I got a peach(turned out to be apricot) and benzoin adding to what is a more floral vanilla with jasmine adding to that feel. It's very nice and is unisex, even something I'd wear but I can't help a slight association with the more feminine aspect of apricots and peach with a gentler less full on Vanilla. Just from a point of view...I'd like to smell this on a woman rather than dismissing it being worn by a man. Calming, lovely more faultless perfume from Montale...lasts well too and makes itself known...not quite as deep and long lasting as Montale Vanille Absolu but projects more and still has excellent longevity.
