Vanille Absolu by Montale

*****
Year: unknown

Notes: cinnamon, clove, vanilla, woods
Vanille Absolu is a delicious grown-up vanilla fragrance that will please many vanilla aficionados. It's very much a full-bodied, natural-smelling and high-quality rendition that never becomes too sweet, with spices and woods that remain ultra-discreet. However, even with such alluring and creamy sillage, its moderate longevity may still leave some yearning for something more substantial.

It's a highly respectable release but, if money isn't that much of an issue, Profumum's Vanitas is a far superior alternative in every respect.
