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
This is a fragrance for close quarters and low light, where its smoky vanilla and leathered spice can unfold without feeling loud. It suits a composed presence: polished, intimate and slightly mysterious, with a dry warmth that lingers near the skin rather than announcing itself across a room.
How to wear
Best in cool to cold weather, when the incense and leather can stay defined and the vanilla feels plush rather than heavy. Apply lightly to pulse points or one spray on clothing for a smoother trail; more sprays will deepen the smoky, spicy effect and extend its warmth in the air.
Who it’s for
For those who like vanilla with structure, depth and a darker edge rather than dessert sweetness. It will appeal to wearers drawn to incense, saffron, leather and woody oriental compositions that feel refined, textured and a little dramatic.
Release year
2021
The nose
Dominique Ropion is one of contemporary perfumery’s most accomplished architects, known for precise structures, powerful diffusion and a polished sense of contrast. His work often balances richness with clarity, giving materials room to feel both natural and highly composed. For Vanagloria, Ropion turns to vanilla as the central idea and builds it into something more faceted: smoky, leathery, spicy and softly addictive. The fragrance reflects his talent for making a familiar note feel dimensional rather than literal, with incense and saffron sharpening the composition and giving the vanilla a darker, more sensual contour.
Collaborators
Roberto Drago, the brand’s creative director, is directly tied to the fragrance’s concept and brief, shaping the shared vision behind a vanilla-centered composition created with complete creative freedom. Daniela Caon is credited with the packaging update and the visual framing of the collection, helping position Vanagloria within Laboratorio Olfattivo’s more intense artistic direction.
Laboratorio Olfattivo’s story
Laboratorio Olfattivo is built around artistic perfumery, treating fragrance as a creative project rather than a market formula. The house favors collaboration with established perfumers, clear concepts and elegant presentation, with an emphasis on emotion, craftsmanship and the expressive possibilities of raw materials.
Vanagloria’s concept
Vanagloria was created for the Masters’ Collection as a study of vanilla in all its facets, with Dominique Ropion focusing on the bean’s natural richness rather than a simple gourmand effect. The composition brings together incense, saffron and leather to give the vanilla a smoky, textured character, and the fragrance has since been repositioned in the brand’s Extreme collection.
Extra info
Vanagloria was launched in 2021 and is part of Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Masters’ Collection, later associated with the brand’s Extreme collection. The fragrance is built around LMR Bourbon vanilla bean extract and is known for pairing vanilla with incense and leather rather than a straightforward gourmand profile.
