Spicy vanilla
I'm not a big fan of vanilla and if at all then only in winter. I have this beautiful vanilla from my tester set from Birkholz, which I have kept specifically for the winter.
What do I like about this vanilla fragrance? The fact that it is not pure vanilla, the fragrance is unisex through and through and starts with bergamot and lavender, both notes that I really like. The fragrance is sweet, warm, aromatic and a little spicy. Lavender smells harsh to many and is softened here by vanilla (anyone who knows Serge Lutens Gris Clair will know what I mean). Birkholz fragrances have a good sillage, but average longevity at best. This is also the case here and the only reason that has prevented me from buying full size in the past. I want fragrances in this price range that last at least half a day. I like to wear the spicy vanilla with lavender in cold temperatures, I have been able to extend the shelf life a little by using Vaseline as a base. This is a grown-up vanilla, elegant and old-money stylish. Lavender has been used in an inflationary way for 1-2 years and is being thrown in everywhere, after all, everyone wants their slice of this trendy cake. Lavender makes many fragrances more modern and smoky, as it does here. The vanilla makes up the base:
intensely sweet, warm, slightly woody and balsamic-tobacco-like. It is suitable for everyday wear and doesn't make you smell like every other person on the street. For me, one of the few wearable vanilla fragrances.
