From a supposed "Replica" newcomer to a journey into the past
Through various Parfumo suggestions and also videos on YouTube, I became aware of this fragrance. What makes it so special? Many users write that it should smell like "warm vanilla pudding." Okay?

So, as is often the case, I first studied the fragrance pyramid. Personally, I love vanilla above all, and saffron appeals to me in most cases (not you Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum!) very much. The fragrance categories "Sweet" and "Gourmand" are also my personal favorites in the fragrance world. I was therefore eager to test this one, so I just took a look in the souk to see what offers were available. And only now do I realize: Wow, is it cheap! So (unfortunately), as so often, I didn't think twice and just ordered a used bottle in the souk for just 20€.

The fragrance arrives, I spray it on and... WOW!

I fall into a nostalgic coma. Summer 2023, finally a dream of mine and my family came true: A trip to Japan! There, and especially in all of Asia, the convenience culture is very strong. You can't walk 10 meters without encountering the next セブンイレブン (7/11) or a ファミマート (Family Mart). And there, in the refrigerated section, you find these ready-made puddings everywhere. I am really not a big fan of pudding in general and certainly not of ready-made. And yet... When I smelled this fragrance, I found myself on a sultry summer night around 1:00 AM in a suburb of Kyōto. I'm sitting by the river, just happy, and next to me sits my brother with just this pudding in hand. How I miss that moment!

Now to the fragrance: It could have simply been called "Replica - Afternoon Dessert," and I would have bought it.
It opens strongly vanilla, with saffron gently in the background. Musk joins in quite quickly, resulting in a very sweet, incredibly delicious vanilla pudding that I would love to just eat.

Longevity and sillage are, as described multiple times and also evident from the reviews, rather poor. The fragrance is only perceptible close to the skin after about 2 hours and lasts only about 5 hours. However, I generally wouldn't wear this fragrance when leaving the house. I find it really beautiful; however, I can't find an occasion in everyday life where I want to smell like vanilla pudding. It is all the more beautiful for the colder days when you can just relax at home in the warmth and cozy up in front of the fireplace.

The price is unbeatable! So far, I haven't found a gourmand that costs so little and I like so much at the same time. Excuse my cheesy story, but this aspect makes this fragrance one of my favorites. Clear purchase recommendation for everyone who loves vanilla!

Dream of Vanilla
I bought this fragrance blind on recommendation... which I usually don't do, but at that price, I was feeling brave. And it absolutely surprised me; it is one of the most beautiful vanilla scents I have tested so far, and it immediately earned a place in my collection.
The vanilla, which comes across very sweet like vanilla sugar in this fragrance, definitely takes center stage. The saffron is subtly noticeable.
The longevity could be better, but at this price, you can easily reapply.
It doesn't project too much; you can always perceive it well yourself, but I would classify it more as a cozy scent. The bottle is simple yet beautiful.
I am very glad to have discovered this fragrance.

A Cozy Vanilla Scent
Vanilla Saffron. Sounds interesting, I thought, and bought it blind. At that price, it's definitely worth the risk. At first, I smelled the cap and hmmm. The scent immediately felt familiar and super delicious. Initially, the caramel vanilla is very prominent. But in a pleasant way. After one to two hours, the saffron-vanilla develops a certain warmth on the skin. The musk makes the fragrance very soft. Uncomplicated, unobtrusive, yet warm and cozy. If you like, you can reapply after 5 hours. For the small price, you get a lovely scent.

A beautiful scent for little money
Now I am testing a decant of "Vanilla & Saffron | Berdoues". This is a scent that you can love to "eat". For me, this is a great, sweet gourmand for women. The longevity is absolutely fine at around 5 to 7 hours, considering the price. You can just reapply. The sillage is rather mediocre.

The top note starts very creamy, sweet, milky, and vanillic. It immediately makes me think of vanilla pudding. In the heart note, this culinary journey of vanilla products continues. I recognize vanilla crescents with powdered sugar. To be honest, I can barely sense the saffron in the background. The base note remains creamy but also powdery thanks to, who would be surprised, a lot of Bourbon vanilla.

I have had quite a few vanilla scents that I didn't really like. But this one is very pleasing, not at all off-putting, and well made. A candidate for a blind buy, I would say.

Vanilla Sugar with a Hint of Saffron
For such an inexpensive perfume, it's super well-rounded and beautiful, does not smell cheap, is calming, and very suitable for chilling or going to sleep :) Longevity is about 5 hours for me, sillage is rather moderate but I've already received a few compliments for it. It's not too sweet and not synthetic either. I really enjoy wearing it during the day in rather cool weather...

All vanilla, no saffron to my nose. Creamy & delicious. Projection & sillage are light but expected for an EDT. One of my fav vanillas

Artificial vanillin instead of vanilla. Musky creamy + sugary like the yellow Vla pudding in Holland. Not for me. Luckily doesn't last long.

Freshly showered and oiled with a vanilla body lotion, I throw myself into the freshly washed bed. The saffron lightly dances around my nose.

Vanilla fluff dusted with powdered sugar, unfortunately very subtle and fleeting.

Freshly taken off the stove, warm vanilla dessert with a hint of saffron, heavenly sweet and beautiful.
Unfortunately, it fades very quickly.

It smells deliciously like vanilla pudding and isn't too sweet. I've had it for about half a year and it has gotten stronger.

just cheap, waxy vanilla scented candles, very poor longevity. No comparison to Vanilla 28! Very unimpressive…
