Vanilla superfine

Wow, what a fragrance!

About Vanille de Zanzibar I stumbled by chance on the research for vanilla fragrances. On my watch list he is, since I am registered here. Through the exchange with a dear Parfuma I now have the luck to own him.

The fragrance:
Vanilla it says, and vanilla you get. A lot of vanilla. But not only :-)
Immediately upon spraying on, a wonderful, lush, sweet, very spicy-vanilla scent unfolds. The sweetness here is not sugary, but of a comforting heaviness that lays gently and smoothly on the skin and nose.
With closed eyes (and a little imagination) I perceive a slight hint of fruit at the beginning, but it remains in the background, if present at all.
I think this very aromatic, slightly resinous spice is a bit of the jasmine, but mainly the Perubalsam to thank.
This is also attributed to anxiety-relieving, calming, stress-reducing properties; it is said to contribute to physical and mental well-being and inner serenity ... which makes the fragrance a perfect autumn and winter companion.
After all, many people dislike the darker and colder seasons. I can imagine that a cozy, warm feel-good scent like this one contributes a lot to harmony and better mood. Assuming, of course, that you like this scent. And for people like me, who really like autumn and winter, Vanille de Zanzibar is even more of a wonderful companion.

On my skin, no very differentiated scent develops. The spicy sweetness remains for a long time (five, six hours) and becomes steadily weaker and closer to the skin. Towards the end remains delicate, still vanilla musk. Patchouli and sandalwood I do not recognize, but these certainly make the base round and harmonious.

The bottle is a dream- Very simply held, but heavy and noble by the grooves in the glass, with high-quality, heavy closure.

So who likes vanilla with a certain something, and not just "sweet", the Vanille de Zanzibar should definitely test.
