The princess, dressed in rags
You can hold what you want from drugstore scents. You can also keep what you want from vanilla fragrances. And from this, in my opinion, pot-ugly presentation one can also hold whatever one wants.
But this smell surprised me. It is not like other vanilla fragrances, which remind of 90s disco and fragrance trees. He also doesn't just slap vanilla in your face like that, freely according to the motto "Please, smell like an alcoholic 15 year old". No, vanilla has to be worked for in a subtle way.
She's been there from the beginning, but in her own way.

A princess who lets herself be announced.
As herald she first sends the hearty carnations and the less conspicuous cinnamon. Shortly afterwards the flowery court ladies Rose and Jasmin come, which make the fragrance so interesting. And only at the end does Princess Vanilla reveal herself. She had been hiding the whole time and shows herself again in all her splendour at the end.
Without being pushy, she dances an entire evening with her court and disappears before becoming embarrassing and penetrating.

For me this fragrance is one of the best vanilla fragrances I've ever tried (and I've tried many, unfortunately). I am glad that I was not deterred by the design of the flacon and the outer packaging of the shower bath. This fragrance is not as flat as you might expect in the beginning.
Hopefully, Bettina Barty's Vanilla won't disappear from the drugstores at some point.

Don't judge the book by its cover!
This is a fragrance that I NEVER wanted to buy. Sheer deep furrows dug into my face as I stomped past it over and over again, sniffing. Where did I see him? I think secondarily, it was available at every drugstore and major grocery store.

I kept thinking Betty Barclay, only in ugly, cheap and undignified. Oh, what was I snobby. Such an ugly bottle I never wanted to stand with me!

And then I read about drugstore fragrances that would be underrated. I think it was even here in the forum - or at the BJ? Anyway, I read about it and felt I had to give this fragrance a chance - yes, give it a chance! He was described as adult and far from the mainstream.

Since I could not find a bottle on site, I ordered it (and his Noir brother to it) and was fully excited.

He arrived and was as ugly as expected. And that is also the negative about him: the look is not appealing, the ball as a lid sits more bad than good. No fragrance you want to display - or you stand over it.

And then I sprayed him on...

Contrary to today's usual vanilla scents, it is not pappsüß or even sticky. Much more we find here a spicy, mature and adult vanilla, far from all popular Gourmands. It has a somewhat oriental feel to it, woozy and confident at the start, but becoming softer and warmer. I smell clove, which I don't really like at all, but in this combination it doesn't seem stale, but feminine and wicked. Floral notes are also subtle, very light, but take a back seat to the woody notes. The base with vanilla, amber and musk is absolutely dominant, with vanilla and amber performing an olfactory dance reminiscent of bygone days and pompous ballrooms. Somewhere there is a plate of vanilla cookies, but not the sweet ones - they are cookies that have as much spiciness as sweetness in them and will be spurned by any child. The connoisseurs, however, dance toward the plate with long strides and wide hoop skirts, accompanied by a hot vanilla liqueur that transforms the room into an auspicious melange of scents, all united in a moment of sensuality and passion. Somewhere someone is smoking a pipe, and the clouds of smoke mingle almost unnoticed with the existing cloud.

This fragrance is not a zero-eight-fuff ten fragrance, although the price suggests that. Much more he acts both mysterious and mature, a fragrance that should not stand any carrier under 30. It reminds me of 90s fragrances in its composition and I wouldn't be surprised if it was designed then. When I allow associations, I think of Gabriela Sabattini or Charly Red by Revlon. And yet these two seem rather aldehyde-heavy, while here everything seems rounded and coordinated, without any scratchy aldehydes at all.

The sillage is decent, but soon loses its obtrusiveness and becomes increasingly close to the body, which I like very much. The durability is okay with a few hours, the next day it is still slightly perceptible in the scarf. All in all, a decent fragrance that could also gladly cost a few euros more in a different bottle. If I consider the overall work, it is a fragrance that positively stands out from the mass of the drugstore. Not a dupe, not a pure fragrance of convenience in the mass of uniformity, not a trivial fruit water. Not a fragrance that I wanted to use every day. But if I do not know what to wear, I reach now and then to this fragrance and was never disappointed.

Thanks to everyone who recommended it!

No vanilla scent...
...that's mainstream. Much of what vanilla says on it either has nothing to do with vanilla at all, or smells like dessert and extremely sweet. At least in the cheaper segment. I like scents like that, but eventually you're full. This sweetheart is different
For a long time I ignored Vanilla, because I didn't like him at first. I don't know if it was the spices in the top note, but for me it just smelled dusty and pungent on the test strip, not vanilla at all. Because the first impression is often deceptive and the smell changes over the course of a lifetime, I gave the fragrance another chance a few years later, strolled through the miller's shop anyway and tested myself through the perfume shelf. What can I say, maybe I'm getting old, maybe my taste has changed... Anyway, I can't get enough of vanilla now!

This scent really teaches you that you should not judge by the test strip alone. You have to spray vanilla on your skin for it to unfold, but that's where it comes off. The spices get nice and warm and slowly vanilla is added. It's subtle and doesn't force itself on you. I'm not thinking here of decadent, high-calorie sweets, but vanilla, which is perfectly accentuated by the other ingredients and doesn't want to represent anything else. That's what makes the fragrance so special.

For an EDT, Vanilla has real power. On fabric, the scent lasts for a day. On myself, I perceive it for 5 hours and enjoy it when a small surge of scent comes up from this sweet-spicy-warm cloud. I also often get a "it smells good here" when I greet someone, which is probably the best proof that I have found something really great.

Perhaps the fragrance is not necessarily for the very young, because it behaves differently than the newer stuff. But if you have a little patience and a weakness for vanilla, you should take a look at this EDT, because it has that certain something that some more expensive perfumes lack

1991 Male catcher
This fragrance is simply pure vanilla puddly... I wore it in my "wild" night out times and have been approached again and again, male and female sniffing after me. Today a fragrance that would be unthinkable for me, because too cuddly sweet, gourmandig .

Vanilla and wood - an uncomplicated fragrance for young people
There are different vanilla scents, rather creamy as in a tea or rather woody, vanilla with patchouli or vanilla with salt and much more. This one is a floral, woody vanilla - which doesn't seem particularly grown up or complicated and doesn't change after spraying. To me, this is a very childlike perfume, uncomplicated and sweet. A young girl could start out in the world of perfumes with this. It doesn't give you a headache, nor does it smell like pastries, but rather like sweet vanilla harvested from a tree. Jasmine and rose smell floral to it. The cedar wood gives it a certain spice and sharpness, but it remains quite well-behaved in the end and does not develop during the day - a very uncomplicated little perfume, for those who need a very uncomplicated beautiful vanilla.
