Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Py Rhum
Vanilla in many shades, barrel-aged rum
Van Py Rhum starts from the note of barrel-aged rum and wraps it in the creamy sweetness of several vanillas: Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and Mohea. Caramel and white flowers sit in the middle, and the base closes on agarwood, Indonesian patchouli and a black vanilla pod. The brand pictures a glass of rum by a crackling fireplace.

How it unfolds
-
Vanilla before anything else
The top is almost all vanilla: Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and Mohea, with tonka bean for warmth and rhum alongside. Each vanilla has its own shade, so the opening reads as layered rather than flat and sugary. The rum is there from the very first minute, not saved for later.
-
Caramel and white flowers
Island vanilla carries on in the heart, joined by caramel for a deeper sweetness and white flowers for a pale, soft contrast. Patchouli enters here for the first time and begins to give the sweetness an earthy outline, so it stops being one-note.
-
Cask and dark wood
The base brings back barrel-aged rum, now beside agarwood, Indonesian patchouli and a black vanilla pod. The brand credits the earthy patchouli with structure and balance. What remains is warm, dark and slow, like the fireplace the brand describes.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Van Py Rhum asks for cool evenings, indoor settings and the colder half of the year, when a warm, sweet extrait feels natural rather than heavy. Apply it sparingly to the skin; the vanillas build quickly and the dark base is dense and built to last.
Who it is for
For people who love vanilla in all its forms and want it served with rum and patchouli rather than pastry. Evening wearers, fireside readers and anyone who finds light, sweet-and-fruity scents too thin will see the point. If you prefer fresh or airy fragrances, look elsewhere.
Why choose Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Py Rhum
Van Py Rhum belongs to the brand's Vanilla collection. It is a perfume with one idea, vanilla and rum, followed through all three layers. It suits those who like one clear theme, and it comes in the house's black glass bottle with the owl emblem foiled on the box.

Questions
Frequently asked
How sweet is it?
Quite sweet, but not light: vanillas and caramel bring the sugar, while rum, patchouli and agarwood give it a darker, earthier backbone.
What is the Rhum in the notes?
The brand writes rum as rhum. It appears in the top and again in the base as barrel-aged rum, giving the vanillas a boozy warmth.
Would it work as a gift?
For someone who likes warm, vanilla-led scents, yes. It is a rich extrait with one clear theme, so it suits a person whose taste leans sweet and cosy. It comes in 50 ml.

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
