Vanilla & spice & everything nice
I love vanilla in almost all forms, and I especially have a soft spot for green, woodsy, spicy vanillas. Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée is one of my go-to fragrances for colder days. The mix of sweetness and herbaceous notes just works for me.

So it's really no surprise that I enjoy Vanilla Black Pepper, too - to my nose it's in the same family as Vanille Insensée and Diptyque Eau Duelle. Not exactly the same as either of them, but somewhere in the same ballpark. It's a very soft and fluffy vanilla that makes me think of finely powdered vanilla sugar, enhanced with woodsy accents. The black pepper note is more dry than truly spicy to me. Together with the cedar note it reminds me a bit of pencil shavings, but in a good way.
The whole composition feels soft and smooth, and frankly, a little less exciting than other woodsy and spicy vanillas. I wouldn't go so far and call it boring, I actually find it quite enjoyable. I just wouldn't chose it when I can have my dear old Vanille Insensée instead. I think a little more hot black pepper or stronger green vibes would have made this even better.

Black Vanilla
Wow, although the title says vanilla first, you have to wait a while for it. I'm still a little ambivalent. Because the whole thing is quite woody and tart. Little Black Dress starts with a bang of black pepper, which eventually gives way to woody incense. The vanilla is not this bourbon vanilla but a more tart note. Cedarwood and rose are clearly perceptible. A perfume for cold days, for the lady in black. This is the black lace corsage among perfumes. Please don't be misled by the name. The vanilla comes later. I find the sillage to be average.

More confessional than kitchen chair
For me, more of an incense scent than a vanilla scent. The vanilla is only perceptible in the background. Overall, a green, light woody incense fragrance that carries very strong bonds of Santtal33 in itself. In the drydown an unsweet vanilla, which creeps out after about 1 hour, but can not completely displace the incense. At the end then a cedar constantly lurking in the background for their chance takes the helm and does not give it until the end out of the hand.
The name is misleading in my opinion, because the vanilla here never takes the main role.

Opens very vanillic slightly floral. Settles into a nice powdery, vanilla fragrance with a spicy touch of the black pepper on the background
