Vanilla Wafers--the ultimate comfort food
L'Artisan Parfumeur VANILIA has apparently been discontinued, but I reviewed it a while back and happened upon the remaining milliliter in my sample vial while looking for something else. Apparently some people regard this perfume as a masterpiece (ahem). It smells to me most like vanilla wafers, which I happen to love, although I cannot say that I've ever considered dusting my body with their scent. I suppose that I could pulverize them and see how that works... Another reviewer has reported that VANILIA calls to her mind banana pudding. I'm wondering whether she may be confusing the smell of vanilla wafers--used to line the pie shell of a banana pie--with the banana cream proper.
All good Americans have tasted this dessert, a veritable institution of middle class suburban culture, and particularly prevalent in parts south of the Mason-Dixon line. It's basically a layer of vanilla wafers on top of which sliced bananas are placed before being covered with what is usually vanilla pudding. Yes, that is what VANILIA is to my nose: a comfort food, not a great perfume! (-;
