Elegant Vanilla, with Floral Lightness

I am surprised by the poor reviews, as this scent is simply enchanting to me! A wonderfully soft, floral vanilla fragrance that is feminine and pleasantly unobtrusive. It reminds me of Creed Sublime Vanille, just significantly lighter. I cannot understand the statement that it smells exclusively floral - the warm vanilla note gives it a sensual depth. A truly successful fragrance that deserves much more recognition!

Helpful Review 5

Just floralis

Wherever the word vanilla appears, I have to test it.
I really like the queen of spices, although it is often embedded in a very feminine way.

The Acqua Colonia Collection Absolue is quite new on the market, and I immediately ordered a few samples, as I found the combinations quite intriguing.

I'll get straight to the point: The scent does not really convince me!

There is no trace of vanilla to be found anywhere. It is rare for vanilla to not assert itself at all within a fragrance structure.
The heart notes dominate this perfume mercilessly and without any tolerance.
The scent is consequently thoroughly floral.

I can also perceive a hint of fruitiness, then more and more musk in the drydown, but not a pleasant one, and a very soft, somewhat mineral amber.
But again, all of this is ruthlessly overshadowed by floral influences.

Furthermore, the floral quality that can be sniffed here also has a tendency towards synthetic notes, so I just thought to myself: "Oh great..."

Longevity and sillage can be labeled as "moderate" at best for an EdP.
After 6 hours, the scent fades away.
If at all, I see this fragrance more suited for a woman.

Conclusion: Rather disappointing!

Little fruity, all floral, quickly jumps into the aquatic jasmine pool.
Quickly rub in with creamy musk.
Somehow vanilla. *

What was Buxton thinking? A scent I’d only accept as an air freshener. Colorful plastic flowers for the bathroom. No, THX.

Artificially sweet floral with a subtle aquatic touch, reminding me too much of toilet spray to make an impression as a perfume.

My heart bleeds because I really like 4711, but this is lifeless: subtly powdery sweet musk, fruit and flower: blurry outline.

So when these plastic flowers have seen dew drops, I get snacky and eat an entire cleaning supply cabinet.

Smells exactly like
the cheap stuff from Tedi
(vanilla room scent)
Subpar. Artificial.
Slightly fruity, very floral.

The undefined flowers have completely absorbed the artificial liquid vanilla. It didn't do them any good.

Delicately fruity with floral notes, later it becomes a bit synthetic with a hint of powdery musk. There's no vanilla here at all.

It's fruity in the flower shop,
vanilla joins in too.
It's creamy and cozy as well,
I'll just close my eyes.

This one isn't bad. It starts off very zesty and floral. Then it turns into a (unfortunately) synthetic white flower scent. It's okay - nothing special.
