Notes: wild orchid, caramel, vanilla
It was only a matter of time before this Italian niche house released a gourmand vanilla. Unfortunately, Vaniglia brings nothing new to the table.
In general, it's a derivative vanilla scent, with underlining caramel and floral accords. Compared to other vanillas, Vaniglia lacks the olfactory authenticity of Maria Candida Gentile's Noir Tropical, the richness and depth of both Farmacia SS. Annunziata's Vaniglia del Madagascar and Profumum's Vanitas, while being marginally superior to Alyssa Ashley's Vanilla and Des Filles à la Vanille's Vanilla Girls (both of which are a lot cheaper).
One was expecting much more from Mazzolari so, naturally, one is quite baffled by the end result. Although it's far from being a failure, the quality isn't high enough to justify the price. With vanilla-centric fragrances being so common, even among niche houses, it's also devoid of any real distinction.
Projection is moderate and longevity is above average.
