Rausch

Just now, Mrs. Can came hissing and scolding down our hallway.
She complained loudly about the noise I was making while packing the fragrance parcels I was about to send.
She: I can't understand a word of my series, constantly this rustling!
I, passing by: Smell my wrist, it's something new... Vanilla, you like that!
She smelled my hand. It felt like an eternity... Silence........!
Then she curled the corners of her mouth into a smile that was at least as big as the largest vanilla pod in the universe, her eyes became glassy and looked hypnotized, and she floated like a light being into the laundry room,... still wordless and smiling.
This is a reaction that Vanilla de Zanzibar can provoke,... Speechlessness. Amazing, right???

Vanilla de Zanzibar is an intoxication, a true vanilla intoxication.
A dream, a delicious dream like I haven't smelled in a long time.
A fruity pear liqueur gradually merges with a creamy-soft and powdery
vanilla that couldn't be more beautiful. The whole thing is underscored by delicate heliotrope sprinkles. Creamy and soft, this scent weaves its way. Seductive and sinful, it comes across never too sweet or sticky, thanks to the skillful addition of creamy-soft sandalwood and
an extremely chocolatey and slightly smoky patchouli.
How delicious!

Conclusion
Boucheron has really put in the effort for its new collection and created true fragrant
delicacies. Fine and balanced. Sensual and elegant. Fascinating and alluring.
And at a very good price. 125ml for €192. I call that fair.
Longevity: 12 hours... quite easily!
Sillage: Not to be underestimated. You can smell yourself for hours on end. Quite strong.
Gender: Unisex,... it makes both weak,... certainly!

Vanilla de Zanzibar has also put me in a state of intoxication, in a state full of sensual euphoria and unrestrained enthusiasm.
It is my personal favorite, and there are five more specimens.
Amber, Oud, Tuberose, Neroli, and Iris... this is going to be expensive!
I've already had the chance to test them all. Yes!,... it will definitely be expensive.

By the way,... Mrs. Can is talking again. The first thing she said was......

......Want to have it,... quickly!

I know that vanilla tends to annoy me when I wear it often. However, this one, which is only moderately sweet, combined with earthy-dry patchouli and a hint of camphor, is truly in a class of its own.

If I were to be lured by vanilla, it would definitely be this one. But I get saturated too quickly from it; it's too sweet, especially with the chocolate, just too vanilla-y, despite very little patchouli and sandalwood. However, the fruits and heliotrope also add some sweetness.

I'm happy for you and Mrs. Can :) I'm resistant to vanilla (with a few exceptions). I still enjoyed reading your enthusiastic comment!

Luckily, you mentioned the keyword 'pear,' otherwise I would have been lost again...
But I’ll check out the tuberose from the line. Let’s see if it can spark the same excitement!

That doesn't work for me at home. At least not with vanilla...

Oh, how good that I don't like patchouli, I already have enough vanilla scents, and I don't find the price fair at all...! Still, nice comment! :)

Very nice comment, I'm adding this to my wishlist right away, and the fact that they've also created an iris scent means that one has to go on the wishlist too :-) Trophy
