How Sweet Is *Too* Sweet?...
Lait de Vanille opens with a super-sugary, syrupy vanilla with a slightly alcoholic benzoin undertone. As the composition moves to its heart accord the sugary sweetness remains, now fortified by amazingly sweet, slightly creamy caramel. The composition remains extremely linear through the finish with no further development to speak of. Projection is average and longevity below average at about 4-5 hours on skin.
Lait de Vanille is the sweetest vanilla composition I have encountered to date... Heck, it may be the sweetest composition of *any* kind I have encountered as of this write-up... The composition couldn't be much more simplistic and linear; it is sugary sweet syrupy vanilla and equally sweet caramel all the way. I am sure I am the wrong person to review this as I can't stand super-sweet compositions generally and dislike the inclusion of caramel in them specifically. As such, it should come as no surprise that I find Lait de Vanille an appallingly bad mix of my least favorite fragrance composition attributes, and quite frankly I don't think this works in any case, personal preferences aside. Lait de Vanille is a definite scrubber in the opinion of this reviewer. The bottom line is you have to *love* overt sweetness in general and super-sweet gourmands in particular to attempt to enjoy Lait de Vanille and I dislike both, awarding it a "poor" 1.5 stars out of 5 rating and a huge avoid recommendation for all except the most ardent sweet gourmand fans. Even to those, Lait de Vanille's overly simplistic nature may tire.
