Soir de Marrakech Benchaâbane / Les Parfums du Soleil 2004 Eau de Parfum

To me no camels…
The name of this one makes me expect a total North African market feeling - with the camels, spices, colours and all. I expected amber and strong flowernotes. But that was not what I got.
The top note is lime. For 2-3 minutes I can smell this but the vanilla in this scent is so strong that it soon takes over the whole scene. A bit like Dior Addict, the vanilla bomb. It is definitely a lovely, warm and sweet vanilla, so I am not disappointed. No orange, no Jasmine and no patchouli on my skin. I sense the base weakly, mostly the sandalwood, but right to the very end it is vanilla that dominates.
I see that this is a popular scent and I am not saying that it is the opposite. But personally, I would pick Dior Addict.
12/365
