Purest, fluffiest, sweetest
Do you ever smell something so delicious, so exactly what you wanted that it recontextualizes everything else you own? This is it, this is MY perfect vanilla. I've never smelled Tihota, so I can't compare it to that, but I have a few other vanillas in my collection that I would've described as pure vanilla before I got my nose on Fire At Will.
● Eilish 1 (my favorite perfume): I would've never described this as a berry fragrance before, but the berries really come to the surface and I get that almost minty chocolate vibe some people have described. FAW is sweet, airy and slightly floral in comparison which makes Eilish smell spicier and fruitier in contrast.
● Vanille Insensee: my white whale, I've been chasing this scent forever, and have yet to find anything to replace it. VI is a lot more citrus forward, especially in the opening, but to my surprise the dry down is SO SO similar to this, I think it's the vetiver. VI is more woody and mossy, but the FAW dry down evokes the same memories that VI does.
● Kayali Vanilla 28: Side by side this one doesn't even smell like vanilla at all, this is patchouli and brown sugar. On its own I would've described this as pure deep brown sugar vanilla, but FAW has dethroned it.
●Bianco Latte/Eclaire by Lattafa: these are so synthetic in comparison, where FAW smells like airy, floaty vanilla pod, BL/Eclaire smell plasticky and so lactonic. Don't get me wrong I LOVE them but I don't think they're comparable at all. Bianco Latte is a milkshake made with artifical vanilla flavouring where FAW is realistic and natural.
●Burberry Goddess: not comparable whatsoever but I'm including this one to say it pairs absolutely beautifully with FAW, since Goddess is very lavender forward.
Yes there are many linear vanilla scents out there, but all the ones I've tried are too synthetic or have terrible longevity. So while I do believe Fire at Will is overpriced, it is also the most beautiful linear vanilla I've ever smelled and if that's exactly what you're looking for and you can afford it, it's so worth it.
