Vanille Iconique Comptoir Sud Pacifique 2021

Fruity vanilla with a peach note that imitates pears
This is a very shockingly similar perfume (might I even say a dupe) to Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum. If I had known before blind-buying it, I might have skipped over it. Thankfully my boyfriend loves Vanilla Woods, so I was able to give it to him.
Vanilla Iconique starts out with a strong fruity note. I detect ripe peaches: juicy and tangy. The peach note eerily ressembles that of a pear which is probably where people draw comparison with Vanilla Woods. I smell a hint of fruity almond that also tries to peak through. Cedar is pretty tame which surprised me. Magnolia gives off a floral, fruity vibe that further enhances the pear note I detect from the peaches. Vanilla ends up combining with everything to give off this sweet, gourmand accord. It's a deeper and more complex perfume. Musk and ambergris adds freshness and a lighter feel near the end. There was also a comforting warmth at the edge of it all.
It's a perfume fit for warm weather as it's not too cloying or too headache inducing. I can clearly see myself wearing at the beach as it has low sillage and projection. It is stronger than what I thought it would be, but still bearable. I will be giving it to my boyfriend as I'm not a Vanilla Woods fragrance lover and this one reminds me too much of it, but it's, nonetheles, a nice fruity vanilla.
