Vanilla Extasy by Montale is a warm, fruity vanilla built around ripe apricot. Apricot and apricot blossom open it soft and slightly tart, moving into a heart of vanilla, ylang-ylang and jasmine that turns creamy and floral. Mahogany, benzoin, sandalwood and resins settle underneath, giving the sweetness a woody, balsamic base rather than a sugary one. Launched in 2008, it is worn mostly by women who like their gourmand scents rounded out with real depth. Voters reach for it in autumn and winter, by day as often as at night, and choose it for going out. Longevity leans toward long-lasting in the community vote, and sillage leans moderate too, nothing loud. Try a 3ml decant across a stretch of colder days and see how it settles.

The community verdict
Apricot and Apricot Blossom give Vanilla Extasy a fruity start before Vanilla, Jasmine and Sandalwood soften into a creamy, woody dry-down. Wear time divides between long-lasting and moderate, and projection between moderate and strong. It favours autumn nights out, though winter and daytime work too.

The house
More from Montale
Montale was founded in France in 2003 by Pierre Montale, who built the house around oud paired with rose and bottled it in his trademark aluminium flacons. Oud is still part of the story, but the range here runs mostly sweet and warm: amber, vanilla and musk, with coffee, caramel and tonka bean for richness and saffron for heat. Intense Cafe is the first one to know, rose and coffee over vanilla. Chocolate Greedy is a spiced cacao treat, and Arabians Tonka is a dense, sugary amber. Black Aoud goes back to the roots with rose, oud and patchouli.
