Comment: Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar is part of the Toutes les Vanilles du Monde Collection
Compared to the rest of the Toutes les Vanilles du Monde Collection, Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar could be viewed as the simplest (or least interesting) offering. It also smells a little too ubiquitous for its own good.
At times, it smells like a budget vanilla fragrance, but the other accords act as distractions to the cheap plastic aroma that occasionally greets one's nose. With a pleasant opening of bergamot and lavender, the composition duly settles into a warm and dry bed of vanilla, with a spicy facet from the coriander. As the drydown ensues, a soft woodiness provides an anchor, with the frankincense adding a tender smokiness to the proceedings.
Personally labelled their woody-aromatic vanilla, sillage is moderate and its longevity is at least six hours.
