Vanille Extrême Comptoir Sud Pacifique 2006 Eau de Toilette

I love vanilla, in my past life I was a vanilla bean. I can't get enough of vanilla, vanilla scents, gourmands.... So of course I must try an eau called Vanille Extrême. I expected pure, full-bodied and warm vanilla, bathing in milk, enveloping me and making me happy. I even received a new bottle, so sure was I that I would like it.

When I first sprayed, I smelled warm vanilla milk in the air, wonderfully warm, soft, cozy, hmmmm.... Then I sniffed on my skin and was horrified! What was that? A completely different smell, not a delicious warm vanilla whiff, but an acrid smell that reminded me of something - plastic dolls, rubber, dough, extremely artificial and far from vanilla sugar, milk or vanilla...

After multiple test sprays over the next few days, nothing changed about this strange initial scent. In the course comes out indeed a pure, round, sweet and beautiful vanilla scent, however, this initial cruelty spoils the fragrance to such an extent that it is unwearable for me. Only when the nose smells a bit above the skin and not directly on the skin, the synthetic gum note is a bit milder, less noticeable and less annoying.
On some clothes, the scent also works a little better: either I smell vanilla milk and then immediately vanilla or the strange scent fades very quickly.

Well, I have other great vanilla scents, so I'm not overly disappointed or sad that it didn't spark with Vanille Extrême.
However, it's very interesting how my skin changed the scent or vice versa.... Vanille Extrême + former vanilla bean = mismatch.
