Van Exstasyx
Several vanilla expressions meet flowers and caramel, with tonka and oud giving the softer sweetness a deeper frame.
Perfumer: Lorenzo Pazzaglia
Van Exstasyx explores vanilla as a collection of different expressions rather than as one uniform sweetness. The extrait de parfum presents a seven-vanilla theme with white flowers and caramel, drawing the subject towards a softer dessert-like texture.
Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and black vanilla form the opening. Island vanilla, white flowers and caramel create the heart. Oud, pure vanilla bean, tonka bean and black vanilla give the base a more substantial setting, allowing a drier wood impression and floral softness to remain around the creamy sweetness.
It is an option for slowly enjoying a vanilla-centred fragrance with subtler contrasts. The yellow label on the 50mL black bottle brings warmer colour beneath a rounded cap carrying the house owl.
