Comment: Vanille Fleuri de Tahiti is part of the Toutes les Vanilles du Monde Collection
Vanille Fleuri de Tahiti is very much a quieter and less fruity version of Profumum's Acqua e Zucchero. Although no fruits are listed, there's a berry-like aspect to it, which could be attributed to the ylang-ylang.
It's sugary, slightly powdery and emits subtle whiffs of frankincense from time to time. However, it's linear, lacks complexity, and the serving of either the benzoin or tonka bean is too generous. As always with this house, the creamy vanilla accord is well-executed and its retail price represents good value.
Personally viewed as their fruity or ambery vanilla, sillage is intimate and lasts for roughly four hours.
