Descripción
Vanagloria by Laboratorio Olfattivo is an oriental vanilla fragrance for men and women. Launched in 2021, this olfactory composition was created by Dominique Ropion. The top notes reveal vibrant saffron and pineapple; the heart is sustained with incense, tonka bean, and olibanum incense, also known as frankincense; while the base notes close the experience with bourbon vanilla and an enveloping musk.

Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Vanagloria opened my eyes to a new way of experiencing vanilla and is worth a try. Unlike Vanhera, here the vanilla feels fresher thanks to the saffron and pineapple, which are ‘smoked’ by the incense to create a strange accord—between caramelized and burnt—but it works beautifully. The two differences with Vanhera are that the musk is more noticeable here, and with less density, it can be worn in slightly warmer climates. Also, it doesn’t smell as woody or creamy; instead, it’s more spicy, with a very present saffron in the dry down. In summary, I liked its originality and the resulting scent is rich. It’s unisex, suitable for cool and moderate climates, and for semi-formal to formal occasions, though I don’t see it as much of a date scent as other vanillas. I recommend trying it if you enjoy spicy vanillas. Rating: 8/10
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Vanagloria opened my eyes to a whole new way of experiencing vanilla and is definitely worth trying. Unlike Vanhera, here the vanilla feels fresher thanks to the saffron and pineapple, which get ‘smoked’ by the incense to create an unusual accord—somewhere between caramelized and burnt—but it works beautifully. The two main differences with Vanhera are that the musk is more noticeable here, and since it’s less dense, it’s wearable in slightly warmer climates. Plus, it doesn’t smell as woody or creamy; instead, it’s more spicy, with a very prominent saffron note as it dries. In short, I loved its originality and the resulting scent is rich. It’s unisex, perfect for cool to mild climates, and suitable for semi-formal to formal occasions, though I don’t see it as ideal for dates compared to other vanillas. I recommend giving it a try if you enjoy spicy vanillas. Rating: 8/10
The opening is confusing, but the dry down is divine. It seems very similar to Tiziana Terenzi’s Dionysus, with excellent longevity.
I haven’t reviewed much lately because I’ve been buying perfumes to gift, but since everyone talks about YSL’s Babycat and some compare it to Vanagloria, I headed to a niche perfumerie to try it. I tested it on skin and blotter for over 6 hours. The opening blends saffron, incense, and a smoky scent that evokes a very attenuated oud-like vibe similar to Ropion’s Promise. This phase reminds me of cheaper perfumes like Alyssa Ashley’s Oud Pour Lui, thanks to that strong incense and saffron. However, it later reveals a dirty musk that dangerously recalls Rosendo Mateu’s #5. Unlike the potent and long-lasting RM5 (especially older batches), Vanagloria lasts me 6 hours with only 2 hours of soft projection. Without having tried Babycat, this Vanagloria doesn’t live up to its name. In short, it left me indifferent. P.S.: On my skin, if there’s vanilla, it doesn’t stand out at all. Au revoir!
Steaming heat, almost medicinal, on a slightly sweet wood. The serious sweetness of tonka bean and original vanilla with a luminous touch of pineapple, though always warm. It’s like wood burning without you noticing the fire. Fruit, vanilla, flowers, and seeds that smell like incense or palo santo. One of the warmest from Laboratorio Olfattivo.

It sits somewhere between Babycat and Rosendo Mateu’s #5, but leans more toward the former. Personally, I prefer the RM5. It has great projection.
If you know RM5, imagine it with fewer flowers and add incense. For those who haven’t heard of it, Vanagloria is futuristic: 50% modern molecular sweetness and 50% incense. The combination is perfect; it has an addictive quality that makes it different and modern. Imagine dipping an incense stick in sugar and adding rare molecules from 2056. Performance is excellent, packaging is wonderful—the bottle is huge and the atomizer is top-tier. Sexy and playful. Then, a year later, YSL bottled the liquid, slapped a ‘Babycat’ label on it, raised the price, and people ran out of stock. Miao.
I quite like it, but don’t you find a certain plasticky nuance (probably from the saffron and pineapple)? I haven’t tried Babycat, but I do see a resemblance to Rosendo Mateu 5, though I don’t think they’re anywhere near identical.
The opening felt chaotic at first—it hit hard and I wasn’t sure how it would settle on my skin. Once it dried down, I initially caught a hint of burnt rubber that turned me off, but after five minutes, that wonderful smoky vanilla started to emerge. On my skin, it’s a bit ‘sugary,’ but in a burnt, pleasant way. Then the perfume truly settled, revealing a dense, opulent incense-infused vanilla that completely won me over. I think you have to give it a try on your skin and not judge it by the opening (which is where I often mess up). I absolutely loved it; it’s a fragrance with serious personality. I get the comparison to Babycat because they’re almost identical once dried, though this one is softer. Oh, and thanks! I didn’t notice the pineapple at all; what really stood out was the incense, saffron, and vanilla.
Exquisite and high-quality vanilla, but it has an accord that smells like hair removal wax; probably the vanilla mixed with the smoke. However, it has something addictive and sensual. Great quality-to-price ratio.

The opening was chaotic, strong, and I wasn’t sure how it would settle on skin. As it developed, it initially smelled like burnt rubber and made me recoil, but after five minutes, that wonderful smoked vanilla emerged—slightly sugared, like something burnt, very pleasant. Then it settled into a smoky incense vanilla, dense and opulent, which I fell in love with. You have to test it on skin 100% and not judge by the opening. I loved it; it has so much personality. The resemblance to Babycat is obvious because they end up being the same, though this one is softer. Thanks for not noticing the pineapple! On my skin, what comes out most is the incense, saffron, and vanilla.
On my skin, it’s chaotic. I expected more vanilla, but I barely sense that note. Very fruity at first, but acidic, not sweet. Chaotic until the incense settles with bursts of half-burnt pineapple. I’ll give the decant another chance, but I don’t see any resemblance in the opening or dry down to the wonderful RM5. This smells warmer, more elegant, and enveloping.
On my skin, it feels a bit chaotic. I was expecting it to be more vanilla-forward, but I barely notice that note throughout the fragrance’s entire life. It starts very fruity, yet acidic rather than sweet. It feels messy until it settles with incense and bursts of half-burnt pineapple. I’ll give the decant I have another try, but I don’t see any resemblance to the wonderful RM5 in either the opening or the dry-down. The latter feels much warmer, more elegant, and enveloping.
The opening with pineapple, saffron, and incense is rich. But as it develops, I can’t handle the tonka bean with the vanilla; it seems dry and soulless. It leaves me indifferent. Sure, it’s personal taste, but I don’t like vanilla much. It lasts, but I don’t see the point in buying a bottle; a decant is better. Not for long-term wear.
A good version of the Babycat genetics: vanilla plus a slightly smoked suede (surprised they didn’t list it in the notes). On average, dry skin, it projects well for the first hour, then becomes a personal bubble that follows you around. Rich and worth it for the low price. Among smoked vanilla-suede fragrances, this is my favorite.
A good take on the Babycat DNA. Vanilla plus a lightly smoked suede (I’m surprised they didn’t list it in the notes). On skin, it has average longevity and good projection for the first hour, then settles into a personal bubble you notice when you move. Rich and worth it for the low price. In this family of suede-vanillas, I think this is the one I like the most!
I was looking for realistic vanilla, and this is the best I’ve tried. In the dry down, I get suede and sometimes chocolate. It lasts the best; a spray on my hand survives a shower. It smells cozy, warm, and edible. I prefer it to sweet gourmands like SWY Intensely, Akro’s Awake, or PDM’s Herod.
Breaks down milky on skin, then the vanilla cools; it smells less like a metal workshop than RM5 or Babycat.
Smoked vanilla, linear, and brutally boring.
