In Search of the Perfect Vanilla...
... you smell quite a bit. Vanilla is versatile and can quickly change with individual nuances. I was actually looking for a different vanilla scent and stumbled upon this one by chance.
I find Hypnotic Poison too sweet, and Vanille noire by Yves Roche a bit too dull. Fatal Snake by Lamis as an HP dupe is also not the best.
And now this perfume: fresh, fruity vanilla that radiates a hint of caramel after a while. Very well done! I perceive coconut less - it's not really my thing.
The perfume lasts a few hours but quickly becomes faint. That's a bit of a shame, but also nice when you unexpectedly catch a whiff of it again. You also quickly get used to the scent, which others tend to notice more.
I would say it's worth trying for vanilla lovers!

Great fragrance at a low price!
I'm glad I didn't think too long and just bought the fragrance.
At a price of not even 5 € for 30 ml, what more could you want? Jeanne Arthes fragrances have been captivating me for years.
I really like this special line with the romantic watercolors on the packaging and the simple bottles.

Vanille Tropical is a wonderful vanilla scent. The packaging states: sweet and exotic notes, blended with coconut. I can't smell the coconut at all.
Just pure, real unsweetened vanilla. Delicious. I immediately thought, you know this scent, right!?
Yes, it strongly reminds me of L. Mercier Gourmand Vanille.

The longevity is around 5-6 hours. There are three more fragrances in this line: Musc Amber, Jasmine, and Rose. I also bought Musc Amber.
Unfortunately, Jasmine and Rose are nowhere to be found, which is a shame. I hope they will be in stores soon as well. I would even buy them blind, I'm that enthusiastic.
The quality for this price is simply excellent, made in Grasse.

Vanilla, Cookies, Cats, Teleporter… there are so many possibilities!
Hello you sniffing noses! Like almost every evening, I am here today to show you a new fragrance. Well, actually I’m describing it more than showing it, but wouldn’t it be cool if we had some kind of teleporter setup to quickly pass a sample from one person to the next so everyone could have a quick sniff? Plus, you could bake cookies and pastries and quickly send some over to me. And yes, my cat could also slip through now and then if someone wants to pet him :D

But before my thoughts drift off into science fiction and Star Wars territory again, let me quickly get to the fragrance, which is La Ronde des Fleurs by Jean Arthes. It has turned out quite nice, but basically does nothing more than smell almost entirely of vanilla,…!

The Fragrance:
The fragrance starts immediately with vanilla. With beautiful, authentic, powdery-sweet vanilla that also reminds a bit of baking or delicious vanilla puddings.
Coconut, which is listed in the top notes, I hardly perceive. However, in the background, there are faint flowers that are so weak they cannot be identified, so the fragrance simply has a slight floral touch alongside the vanilla. The musk can be perceived a bit better later on, which together with the (much stronger) vanilla smells very nice. And there’s really not much more to say here, so one can say that this fragrance basically just smells of vanilla, especially in the later base.

The Sillage and Longevity:
For a vanilla fragrance, the projection is relatively weak, as the scent is best perceived from close up. The longevity is also significantly less than one might think. Normally, vanilla fragrances last all day and can sometimes still be smelled the next day, but this scent lasts five to six hours, which is still quite okay, even if it should be rather weak in the later hours.

The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and extremely simple. There isn’t even a label; the name of the fragrance is written in plain letters on the bottle, and the cap is chrome-plated and cylindrical. A simple standard bottle from rather inexpensive fragrances. Well, there are prettier ones.

So, that was Vanilla Tropicale.
Oh man, I shouldn’t have written vanilla pudding in the fragrance description; now I really have a craving for it… oh well… it’s probably better that there’s no pudding here right now, as I’ve been stuffing myself with a lot of junk lately… argh! :D

Be that as it may, the fragrance has turned out very simple and basically just smells of vanilla, but it does so authentically and beautifully, even if quite weak in projection. For a fragrance that costs less than 10 euros for 30 mL, that’s very good and sufficient. Since the vanilla scent is not strong, it is also suitable for summer, so it can be worn both in leisure and at work. Vanilla fans can definitely take a look, especially because of the affordable price!

And I’m done for today. Sure, I could still ramble on about cats and Star Wars, but I think you’ve had enough of me already (*sigh*), so I’d rather wrap it up, at least for today :D
So then, have a nice evening :)

affordable tropical trip
I’m diving into the “sweet treat bag” again because my friend has gifted me a cornucopia of sweet scents.

I’m not familiar with the brand Arthes. A gap in my knowledge?
The fragrance is supposedly affordable - but it does its job quite well.

On me, the coconut develops lushly - and evokes Caribbean feelings.
I can see the palms leaning towards the sea, the turquoise sparkling.
However, the vanilla that gives it its name is only subtly detectable behind the load of coconuts.
For my taste, it could have been more pronounced.
The tropical fruits exude more bitterness - as the whole fragrance tends in that direction.
Not for indulgent “sweet tooth” types - but suitable for lovers of the South Seas.
This image is already conveyed by the scent.

I wouldn’t describe Tropicale as a pronounced vanilla scent - nor as directly sweet.
It rather has the message: Off to the tropics - and it will probably perform better in summer.

South Sea Daydreams for Tropical Haters
You can accuse me of many things, but being romantic and dreamy is definitely not one of them. Instead of love stories, I prefer horror movies. The thought of a white "dream wedding" makes me shudder. I secretly laugh at couples who come up with the cheesy idea of attaching love locks somewhere.
And when it comes to vacations, I would rather choose a tent in France or a backpacking trip over any 5-star holiday in the South Seas.
The only exception: when it’s raining cats and dogs outside, it gets dark too quickly, and I spray on "Vanille tropical." The top note really does create tropical dreams, making the dreary weather more bearable. Even I catch myself finding a trip to Thailand increasingly appealing.
And the heart note is a dream anyway: delicate fluffy vanilla, not artificial at all, but very feminine.
The major drawback of this fragrance: as soon as the weather gets somewhat better, I revert to being the unromantic camper. And then the top note becomes annoying. "Vanille tropical" seems to work for me only in the rain.

Delivers exactly what the title promises. Light vanilla, served simply, nothing more is needed. Price-performance ratio is top as always.

A scent for sweet tooth lovers. Vanilla with an exotic tropical island touch. It's a bit too heavy and overwhelming for me.

Not chemical at all - beautiful tropical summer vanilla with a light, unobtrusive sillage & subtle coconut note. Perfect for warm days.

You are so delicious and beautiful, creamy and enchanting. How can you have such a weak sillage? Very, very close to the skin. Sad.

mega beautiful and well-groomed, and soft-woody vanilla. Very creamy and delicate. Unfortunately, poor longevity.

I'm always on the lookout for new vanilla scents. This one was so affordable, so I ordered it right away. Definitely a dupe for Laura Mercier Vanilla.

As a vanilla fan, you can't pass this one up. The name says it all - vanilla with a hint of tropical vibes. Longevity is average, otherwise it's fine.

Unfortunately, the scent develops for me towards air freshener / cheap scented candle with a piercing soapy note. Coconut is not detectable.

Creamy, fluffy vanilla pudding with grated sandalwood.
Vanilla fans, take note, plus it's a cheapie :) Unfortunately, close-up, H/S is weak.
