Vanilla Forever
This opens with lovely cedarwood, that smells like old books, and then the vanilla rises up out of this wood. It's a real vanilla - very authentic and sweet and floral in that orchid way. Underneath all of this is amber, providing a base. I think I would have preferred this composition without the amber, but it's a brilliant blend as it is as well. If you've ever spilled a bit of pure vanilla while baking and enjoyed putting it on your skin like perfume, you might like this one.

It is one of my favourite vanillas to use any day, any time.

Boozy, spicy, then sweet!
When I first smelled this fragrance I actually found it to be pretty spicy! Kind of boozy, with a vanilla extract smell. Definitely heavy with vetiver and patchouli. It was only as it dried I started to get more of a sweetness and the vanilla shined much more. I was not sure how often I would wear this scent as I’m a much bigger fan of sweeter vanilla. That being said, it’s become one of my favorite day to day perfumes. With time, I have found that it only smells sweeter to me. I actually am kind of shocked some don’t smell the vanilla in this fragrance, as I truly feel that is lovely— spicy, but totally vanilla.

Definitely Dirty
This is a patchouli heavy vanilla, definitely grassier than I expected. Can't say it doesn't warn you on the label about capturing the "dirtiness" of the fragrance. There is something almost medicinal in its aromaticness. The vintage store/grandma attic dust thing is for sure present, which I don't think aids the vanilla.

A leaden woody vanilla that thuds on the skin while I wait for it to do something else. Heretic's least interesting imo.

A vanilla that doesn’t smell cheap! Lush, sexy, smoky vanilla that doesn’t get overly sweet.
