Spring vanilla with a twist

A friendly perfumer gave me a Travel-TZ from Wish for Spring.
Unlike her, I like vanilla fragrances and after wearing it several times, it has now turned out that I also like this one in particular.

I can't really pick out individual notes; for me, it's just a very beautifully interwoven overall result that is very wearable right now - spring is always peeking out, it's getting warmer and greener, the first flowers are appearing.

What does this fragrance smell like now, I'll give it a try:
Of the notes listed, I very clearly perceive the vanilla.
Furthermore, a certain spiciness with a fresh twist.
I can't say exactly where this comes from, perhaps it comes from the combination of tonka bean with a lemony vetiver, which then has a sweet-spicy-fresh effect for me.

I don't notice any fruits or flowers at all; perhaps a violet pastille beckons from afar and then disappears again.

For me, the drydown is a super beautiful, spicy vanilla:
The scent had probably settled in my cardigan after the first time I wore it, which was very funny, as I kept noticing a very nice whiff the next day and wondered where it came from. Until I realized that it was the drydown in the cardigan.

As I was a little confused by the not-so-good rating here and the classification as a violet fragrance (I perceive the fragrance completely differently), I asked people in my private circle (not perfumos / perfumas) to test the fragrance:
The feedback was consistently very positive. Vanilla, sandalwood, amber and apricot were perceived. And the fragrance was classified as high quality (and delicious ;>).

I was also able to determine through the tests: The fragrance also smells good - to my nose - on another person.

Pollita took up the cudgels for the brand's 'un-oud' fragrances in one of her blogs:
I agree here, I find the fragrance very nice, definitely worth testing for vanilla lovers.

There is still one tiny fly in the ointment for me:
The fragrance is a little too intense for me, i.e. I have to spray carefully, otherwise it becomes too much for me.
But sprayed carefully, the fragrance is really very nice - maybe not just in spring :)
