Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Exstasyx
Seven vanillas, caramel and oud
Van Exstasyx puts vanilla at the centre and keeps it there. Lorenzo Pazzaglia says no fewer than seven varieties intertwine in this Extrait de Parfum, each with its own nuance, while white flowers and caramel push the sweetness toward a vanilla dessert, as the brand puts it. Agarwood (oud) sits in the base.

How it unfolds
-
Vanilla, first
Bourbon, Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla open the perfume together, with black vanilla alongside them. Each variety has its own nuance, and the brand treats that as the whole point: similar notes combined with mastery and balance. The opening is already full and round, with no sharp edges.
-
Flowers and caramel
Island vanilla joins white flowers and caramel in the heart. The flowers add some lift and softness, and the caramel pushes the sweetness toward dessert. This is the sweetest part of the perfume, the point where the separate vanillas blend into one warm, enveloping accord.
-
Oud and vanilla bean
In the base, agarwood (oud) gives the sugar a dark, woody counterweight, next to pure vanilla bean, tonka bean and a second layer of black vanilla. It keeps the scent from being only sweet. That weight stays dense and close to the skin, as expected from an extrait.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Van Exstasyx is rich and sweet, so one or two sprays on the chest or wrists are plenty. It is best in cool weather and in the evening, when the vanilla and oud have time to settle. In summer heat it can feel heavy, so keep it for cooler moments.
Who it is for
For vanilla lovers who want it deep and layered rather than a single sugary note. It is listed as unisex. It suits autumn and winter evenings, dinners and cosy occasions, and it is less of a match for people who prefer fresh or dry perfumes.
Why choose Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Exstasyx
Van Exstasyx is a one-note idea carried out in detail: many vanillas, caramel, white flowers and oud, all aimed at one warm effect. It was created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia himself and handcrafted in Italy, as part of the brand's Vanilla collection.

Questions
Frequently asked
How many vanillas are in it?
The brand says no fewer than seven vanilla varieties intertwine in it. The notes shown name several of them, including Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and black vanilla.
Is it very sweet?
Yes, sweetness is the point, with vanilla and caramel in front. Oud and tonka bean give the base some darkness, but if you do not enjoy dessert-like perfume, this is not the right one.
Is it a good gift?
For someone who loves vanilla, yes. It is a warm, sweet scent, so it fits better for autumn or winter than for a person who prefers fresh perfumes.
How should I apply it?
Sparingly: one or two sprays on the chest, neck or wrists. As an extrait it is dense, so more is not needed, and a light hand keeps the sweetness comfortable.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
