Sweet and cozy

At first I thought that this was perhaps the wrong perfume for the day.
When I looked out it was wonderful sunshine and 7 degrees Celsius. But then I had already rolled my arms with this small solid perfume in their adorable packaging.

It wasn´t compeletely wrong after all as the smell of vanilla ice cream made me think of spring's first soft ice cream, perhaps with caramel sauce as a topping ... I certainly think that there are traces of caramel aroma here as well. Not bad!

Vanilla Sucre Glace is not a sillagemonster. Maybe it has to do with it being a solid perfume and therefore it is difficult to overspray with vanilla and that's a good thing.
After a while it calms down and that's kind of like saying that now the ice cream has melted and it starts giving off a citrus scent that cheers me up in all its sweetness. The cozy factor is high but I stop myself from rolling on even more.

The drydown is not nearly as sweet, it's as if it has assumed a light powdery scent and then mixed it with a hefty dose of musk. I get a sense of a masculine tone but Vanilla sucre glace is still too cute to be so.

No, it´s not at all masculine, instead it feels relaxing to know that I´m not walking around all day like a big ice cream factory but just smells pretty damn good!

Sillage: 7/10
