Vaniglia Eau de Parfum
by Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma's Vaniglia Eau de Parfum presents a sophisticated, unisex vanilla scent with a fresh, powdery base that evolves softly over time. The opening features citrus notes—bergamot and mandarin—mingled with neroli and heliotrope, creating a clean, airy, and slightly herbal tone that veils the vanilla rather than overwhelming it. As it develops, the perfume reveals a soft, dry, and slightly bitter vanilla with a powdery elegance, supported by subtle jasmine, cedar, and musk, lending it warmth and depth without being cloying. The sillage is moderate and discreet, becoming intimate after a few hours, and the longevity is moderate—lasting throughout the day and into the evening on most skins, though some users note it fades quickly. It has a refined, mature character that leans slightly feminine but remains wearable for men. The fragrance feels cohesive, high-quality, and comfortably polished, akin to a vintage-style scent without the dated quality, evoking a sense of quiet luxury and comfort.
