Description
“A vanilla with dark notes, an unexpected fragrance that evokes dark and intriguing sensations … This is Vanhera. A journey around a unique ingredient in the world of perfumery. A vanilla scent, but not a fragrance in which the sweet notes of vanilla are enhanced. Rather a battle, a conflict between ingredients.
In Vanhera, a stunning Vanilla from Madagascar tries to make room for a universe of ingredients that want to suffocate her. It is encircled, besieged by spicy notes of Pepe, Cardamomo, Cinnamon; is embraced by the warm notes of sandalwood and Cashmeran and is soiled by Karmawood, Timbersilk and amber notes. Despite this attempt to suffocate, the Vanilla absolute manages to emerge, to make its strength felt, its powerful persuasive note and to conquer the heart and spirit of those who approach it.” – a note from the brand.
Vanhera was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Luca Maffei.

Insubstantial and a little trivial fragrance. First cold, then hot, first sweet, then spicy. Give me the anxiety believe me!

•••Vanhera has some great spicy vanilic cinnamon qualities from Lune Feline wothout medicinal notes.
It also has juicy citrus(bergamote) vanilla from Franck Boclet Vanilla with not so overpointing sweeteness.
And also I get som vibes from Blend Oud Sana and Jerobam Insulo.
I found Vanhera as a combination of it all and therefore I found it as a very attractive perfume!
Love it in summer because of bergamote and love it in winter because of it’s warm vanillic spicyness and dry amber notes.
•••Love it!

Great concept, poor execution. One of the things a well structured perfume should have, is some form of olfactory stability. Of course a scent evolves, but that’s quite different from having a misleading opening or base. This is unfortunately the case with Vanhera. The opening is gorgeous for anyone who enjoys crisp, outspoken spices. In this case, there’s a fantastic combination of green, bitter, sweet, minty Cardamom and Sichuan pepper that makes the more synthetic vanillic base very interesting. Unfortunately this beautiful start only lasts for about five minutes on the skin, after which the fragrance quickly descends into a boring, safe and somewhat cloying vanilla fragrance. The disappointment is not at the end though, as the dry synthetic harshness of ambermax/ambrocenide takes over and switches the vibe from mediocre to annoying. An unfortunate fragrance by a somewhat confused brand.

On me this was a standard niche vanilla, like so many others, with pepper, very nouvelle parfumerie. Like many purely synthetic accords this one had tremendous sillage from a tiny spray and the persistence of nuclear waste. It survived a soak in epsom salts followed by a shower with only slightly diminished strength. OK if you like this kind of thing.

I really like this! Its like eating a vanilla icecream in a sauna. I get sandalwood and also a cedar vibe. The vanilla is subtle, but balancing and soften the woody notes. Very similar to This is Him by zadig & voltaire, but vanhera is kinder, super smooth and higher quality. Pretty close to the skin. Performance could have been better.

Hot (worm) vanilla, and spices.
Chilli or Sichuan pepper, woods, black pink pepper, cardamom, Amber, sandalwood, woods notes, and huge doses of vanilla cinnamon that made the sweetness almost cloying. The hot vanilla is kind of makes me sweating and I feel kind of uncomfortable!

A Vanilla perfume, not the usual Vanilla fragrance where just sweet notes are emphasized. A battle, a conflict among ingredients.
In Vanhera, a Madagascar Vanilla absolute tries to find a place in a universe of ingredients that want to suppress it. Vanhera is surrounded, almost besieged, by spicy notes of Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon; it is embraced by warm notes of Sandalwood and Cashmeran and it is blemished by Karmawood, Timbersilk and ambery notes. Nevertheless, the Vanilla absolute arises and makes its presence felt, conquering heart and soul of whoever smells it.” The notes of the creator
I just don’t see that! I had high hopes for this one in particular, but unfortunately I just can’t see what the artist was seeing when creating this fragrance! I can’t sense the sensuality other than chilli hot cloying vanilla!

Black, smokey, animalic facets of dark(almost dirty) Madagascan vanilla with an ambery base. The top note of sichuan pepper gives a slight bitterness and sparkling effect to balance the vanilla note.
