The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Montale, Vanilla Extasy is a fragrance that balances the richness of vanilla with woody and spicy notes to create an inviting warmth. Pierre Montale crafted this Oriental Vanilla scent to be both sweet and complex, featuring apricot blossom and ylang-ylang in the top notes, followed by jasmine and benzoin in the heart. The base notes of sandalwood, resins, and mahogany add a depth that makes it feel like an intimate embrace.
Apply Vanilla Extasy to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering effect. It blooms slowly over time, so one or two sprays are enough to keep its rich warmth close to your skin throughout the day.
