I just admire Ram’s collections from afar… but once in a blue moon he intrigues me to get off my ass and buy a bottle of something he is passionate about.. never disappointed Vanisia was this for me. Zero regrets
I haven’t smelled this one but it sounds amazing,creed used to be better than anything else in the market at least to m,e it’s unfortunate seeing where it is today.
Very very unfortunate 😒 Lot of that going around now a days it seems ... in a world where PDM can raise their prices (still crazy to me) these niche brands are out of control
Another 80's Creed. I just love 80's Creed, they were on another level. What a gem. Review right on point, great review as always. Regards from Germany. Scents of the day: Viking (not Cologne) and Bois du Portugal.
Great review Ram. I just pulled the trigger on a 30 ml bottle. I was enjoying my sample for some weeks, and always enjoyed it. I reviewed it on fragrantica. It does have a great vintage Guerlain like vib. My thought was as you said, the quality and depth of notes is so fine. So I think it's a better choice than many versions of Shalimar.
I think it was about 5 or 6 years ago and I was in the Burbank area where I discovered a small perfume shop. They were carrying a lot of Arabian Oud and some contemporary niche brands like Byredo.. but I spotted the Creeds in the glass and discovered Vanisia. Creeds come with no cellophane as we all know so I was allowed by the owner to test a bottle and my mind was blown.. I was able to bargain with the owner and he gave me a fair price. 2009 year and I later added an 2013 in the women's bottle style I believe. I love this stuff! It is such an underrated Creed and I'm glad to have 2 nearly full bottles that haven't lost their luster. Phenomenal stuff. It had me hunting for any older vaulted Creeds which were all very good and superior to the stuff of 2015-16 at the time. They just don't make em like they use to. Creed is a perfect example of that. No cheap fakes lol ..MAGA2024
You spoke to my heart with this video 💕 There are two videos I found on TH-cam about this fragrance. One is from a gentleman from Indian decent I believe.. After your first video about this gem you sent me into a deep dive curiosity and purchased a bottle several years ago. I’m so happy you gave this fragrance justice by doing a hall of fame review. Shalimar on steroids.
Cheers Rams I know you really love this one and by god you sure did it justice in this review, not sniffed it myself but if it falls into the Shalimar family, well enough said a winner all day long 🙏👍✌️
Thanks for the review Ram. Hope you’re having a good week. I haven’t tried this one. Been disappointed with recent batches of the creeds I liked. N yeh it’s funny how the creed blurb has changed 😂😂😂
Fun fact Vanisia being female marketed is one of the perfumes that was also available in pure parfums in the 80s-90s, mini-chrome spray bottles or mini-dabber bottles, along with the edt splash bottles, as I have.
@@RamseytheRamAnd, i missed out on one recently in Italy... you have to be so quick to now grab a scarce perfume at a good price... seems everyone and their neighbour is collecting vintages these days.
@@RamseytheRam i have a sufficient amount left of both that i acquired from the manager of NYC boutique in 2009 and about 30 ml’s of the original release of Windsor , all for special occasions only needles to say , they are unmatched pieces in my book
Vanisia is waiting for me at Enchanté. Thank you Ramsey for reminding me. The summer has started here 20 mintes ago. Happy solstice ! The best time in the year for my mountain climbing hobby, but not so great for wearing heavy fragrances. Scent Of The Night : Hermès - Voyage d' Hermès edt (vintage) Let's enjoy the weather....
lol the one thing ill give ol roger bird is that he could probably make a fool of olivier creed in an inside baseball type conversation about making perfumes. he could like make up a bunch of crap and olivier would be like "oh yes, certainly, indeed" and then roja would be like "actually i just made all that s*** up, poser". p.s. today i realized roja scandal parfum is sort of his take on eau de guerlain....smell them side by side. another creed-ified (if you will) guerlain in my opinion, as he does
I blind bought a 250ml from 2013 on eBay a week ago because someone else bought a 250ml green flacon pre 2006 batchcode bottle and it was the only one left. They need to bring this back in the 75ml,250ml,500ml bottles asap. It’s divine!! “Queen of silk” is an amazing creed compared to most of the blah scents. I’d buy that in a 500ml.
I recently got a 2011 and in the women’s bottle. Do you think it smells like the OG 75 ML men’s bottle? Or does it smell like any other vanisia in general? Ty
I think they did a fantastic job of a reformulation... but around 2014 to 2016 is when some of those heavy IFRA bans went into effect so maybe that's why it got disconnected
😂😂😂 It certainly seemed that way back in the day... but you should reference the ghost perfumer book for me detail on the shenanigans Olivier Creed got up to
Okay question , if you had to pick one Creed Vanisia or Chanel Le Lion? I know they’re different. Both have Shalimar associations though. I smelled Le Lion recently at a boutique and did fall in love… but $500 for the 200ml had me gasp. I’m surprised you can find vanisia for decent prices. Maybe not with your video now😂
@@RamseytheRamwell went on eBay and saw someone selling Vanisia 75ml bottle for like $150. Looks like maybe 10mls were used and I think it’s a 2013 batch. I offered $115 and he took it😂 I thought I’ll never get another Creed again… thanks for putting this on my radar.
@@RamseytheRam Yeah this one has been on my Fragrantica To Try list for years. Rose jasmine floriental with ambergris sounds superb, kind of a no-brainer really
Would you say women’s perfume from the 80s and before can be worn by men today? Only asking because most women’s scents from before smell a lot more “masculine” than those today
I think any fragrance can be worn by anyone....but especially the vintage feminine marketed scents... some like Azuree smell masculine than 99% of what comes out for guys todah
@RamseytheRam ohh ik 🤣 be careful it's freezing for 7 seconds. Live on tv can be edited nowadays with "AI". Ohh I can't wait for the debate on the 27th...
Dude ! I just bought this from Mitch … because of this video 😂 I have to stop watching u guys 😂🤦♂️ I’m a dude … buying not only vintage, but also female stuff 😂 sweet baby Jesus
👑🐏Awesome pieces of your collection! I love Vanisia so much because of you, truly a great fragrance!
That makes me so happy 😊

lol the one thing ill give ol roger bird is that he could probably make a fool of olivier creed in an inside baseball type conversation about making perfumes. he could like make up a bunch of crap and olivier would be like "oh yes, certainly, indeed" and then roja would be like "actually i just made all that s*** up, poser".
p.s. today i realized roja scandal parfum is sort of his take on eau de guerlain....smell them side by side. another creed-ified (if you will) guerlain in my opinion, as he does
p.p.s. this is actually one of the more reasonably priced vintage creeds...as in under 300 bucks lol. maybe not after this video
ROGER BIRD VS OLIVIER CEEED 🥊
@@RamseytheRam haha!
To me it shares stronger similarities with spicy amber orientals such as Opium, Coco, even Bois des Iles / Egoiste for the sandalwood aspect.
Yeah I always thought of it as Creed does Shalimar but I could see Egoiste being mentioned... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻

You may or may not like it because it’s sweet but it’s may be like Nefs for you. I’d love to hear your take.
Well you are in luck... because I already did a video on Nefs lol
@@RamseytheRam I know I’ve watched it.
Ohh sorry you meant Queen of silk is like nefs... sorry I thought you were saying you wanted my thoughts on Nefs ... gotcha 👍🏻
That is how I found you, because some one was selling that Vanissia box and Emperatriz priti old boxes and bought are stunning
I am honored

Do you get any similarity to Sublime? Pyramid seems similar though very stripped down
