Many vanillas, barrel-aged rum and patchouli
Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Py Rhum is an Extrait de Parfum on a single theme: barrel-aged rum wrapped in several vanillas, Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and Mohea. Earthy Indonesian patchouli gives it structure. A scent this concentrated on one idea is easy to love or to find too much, so a decant lets you check before buying 50 ml.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is almost all vanilla, with Bourbon, Madagascar, Tahitian and Mohea each lending its own shade, plus tonka bean for warmth. Rum is present from the first minute, not saved for later. The layering stops the opening from reading flat or purely sugary.
In the heart, island vanilla continues, with caramel adding depth to the sweetness and white flowers supplying a pale, soft counterpoint. Patchouli appears here for the first time and starts to outline the sweetness, so it is no longer a single note. Check how the flowers feel on your skin.
Barrel-aged rum returns in the base, now next to agarwood, patchouli from Indonesia and a black vanilla pod. According to the brand it is the earthy patchouli that gives the whole structure and balance. The result is a warm, dark and unhurried finish that suits the brand's picture of a glass of rum by a fire.
Testing it
Wear the decant on a cool evening, indoors at first, and use very little, because the vanillas build quickly and the base is dense. Notice whether the rum feels like a warm accent or a dominant theme. A second trial on a milder day shows if the composition still feels comfortable.
This sample suits people who adore vanilla and want it paired with rum and patchouli instead of pastry. Evening wearers, and anyone who finds light fruity-sweet perfumes thin, will understand the appeal. Lovers of crisp, airy scents will probably move on, and a decant tells you so cheaply.
One idea followed through three layers is a strong statement, and the question is whether you want to live with it. Our decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you answer that before buying 50 ml. It is not a brand sample, and the brand is not involved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It is the brand's spelling of rum. Barrel-aged rum opens the perfume and returns in the base as barricaded rhum, which is the Italian idea of rum aged in a barrel.
Yes. We fill a 10 ml glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it. It is a decant, not a Lorenzo Pazzaglia sample, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
Very vanilla-led, but caramel, white flowers and above all Indonesian patchouli and oud give it some earthy and dark contrast. A sample shows if the sweetness suits you.
The warm, dark profile points to cool evenings and the colder half of the year. Testing in different weather helps you decide if it earns space in your wardrobe.
The brand
Lorenzo Pazzaglia grew up around his family's restaurant in the hills of the Marche, and the brand tells his story as that of a chef, a nose and a dreamer. You notice the kitchen in the perfumes: rum over vanilla pods, mango with coconut milk, red wine and cherry, salt and seaweed. The house, founded in 2021, makes Extrait de Parfum only. Formulas this dense and this literal are worth wearing as a 10 ml decant before you choose a bottle.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
