Foam instead of compact pudding

Comment No. 3 in my loose series of underrated vanilla fragrances.

The first impression: A fine, delicate hint of vanilla. More flower than pod. Sweetish rather than sweet. Not a bomb, more like a small bouquet. More foam than compact pudding.
It could come across nicely like a white unicorn in the morning dew. But it doesn’t. Because after a short time, the fragrance unfolds a caramel note.
This is not children's caramel, but that slightly bitter variant found in crème brûlée. This gives the fragrance a second dimension. Bittersweet.
But even this black, slightly burnt note is not intrusive, but light like the rest.
Yes, a cheap vanilla scent. But it is not cheap, rather well thought out. A great little breeze for everyday life.
