Perfumer: Dominique Ropion
«I have fond memories of my meeting with Roberto, which I like to think of as a ‘sharing’ encounter, with all the meanings that this word can have. The sharing of our different experiences, our convictions, our tastes, but also the discovery of what we share, during the course of a particularly interesting dialogue. First and foremost, we share a sincere and deep love for perfumery, in all its forms, all its expressions. We also share a respect for natural raw materials, which only want for us to express their multiplicity. In the same way, we share the curiosity to explore new forms of imagining the olfactory form for what it is, for its roughness, for its development. We share this aspiration of freedom, which allows us to create without limits, and which is the hallmark of the Masters’ Collection. Finally, we share the conviction that the authenticity of the idea, of the creative reflection, and, more simply put, of the perfume, will always be understood and valued by the consumer. I had wanted to work on a fragrance that would highlight the vanilla bean for many years, and this desire was shared by Roberto. This fragrance was developed with total creative freedom, bringing together everything we share with Roberto, and it is a great honor to see it shared with all of you today»
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Vanagloria suits an evening that unfolds at close conversational distance, after the bustle has subsided. Its vanilla offers warmth without a sugary register, while incense and saffron give that softness a darker, leathery edge—a composed presence with an undercurrent of appetite.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin in cool or mild weather, allowing the vanilla, tonka and incense to settle before adding more. The rich gourmand profile makes a restrained application sensible in heated rooms or warmer conditions; a spray beneath clothing keeps the emphasis on warmth rather than a broad scent trail.
Who it’s for
For lovers of vanilla who want the pod’s darker texture as much as its sweetness. It will appeal to those drawn to incense, saffron and leathery accords, especially when they prefer gourmand fragrances with spice and depth rather than a confectionery character.
Release year
2021
The nose
Dominique Ropion is renowned for technically exacting compositions that give rich materials both scale and definition. His work includes Portrait of a Lady and Carnal Flower for Frédéric Malle, fragrances distinguished by their architectural balance and expressive use of natural ingredients. In Vanagloria, he turns that attention to the vanilla pod, revealing its spicy, floral and leathery dimensions rather than treating it simply as sweetness.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, Laboratorio Olfattivo’s co-founder and creative director, developed the creative vision with Dominique Ropion through conversations about natural materials and olfactory freedom. Their shared wish to place the vanilla pod at the center shaped the fragrance’s brief, with Ropion given complete creative freedom.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo operates as an artistic perfumery workshop, giving perfumers room to develop individual ideas rather than follow a fixed house formula. Under Roberto Drago’s creative direction, materials, memories and personal impressions become the starting points for fragrances that prioritize the integrity of the original idea.
Vanagloria’s concept
Vanagloria grew from Dominique Ropion’s long-standing wish to explore the full character of a vanilla pod, a desire shared by Roberto Drago. The composition centers on CO₂-extracted LMR Bourbon vanilla from the Indian Ocean region, using saffron to underline its leathery facets, tonka to enrich its sweetness and incense to introduce a smoky counterpoint. It originally appeared in the Masters’ Collection.
Extra info
Despite its vanilla-and-incense focus, the official pyramid includes a pineapple accord at the top. Daniela Caon is credited with the packaging, and the fragrance has since moved from the Masters’ Collection to the Extreme Collection with an updated presentation.
