I don't think La Rive's gonna work out for me..
At La Rive I have already missed a few times quite nasty. But you never know if you will find something interesting at some point... Vanilla Touch has here really phenomenally good reviews. But unfortunately, this also does not work for me.

In principle, I sign everything that my Vorposter have already described here. Only smells at me just permanently unpleasant synthetic. Probably I must not wonder at a fragrance around 3 € / 30 ml. I finds halt not sensible to wear something like that, just because it costs so insanely little. Unless of course, you like the fragrance, or he works on you and, if you look at the reviews, that's not so far-fetched.

The vanilla starts dark and smoky. Would have guessed something resinous in the top note. Hawthorn I find a little strange. Smells the not quite unpleasant?

Over long stretches Vanilla Touch smells like heliotrope. So a sweet vanilla-almond scent mixture, is eh known from many fragrances. Something fruity but would have been good, then the whole thing would probably not seem so pappig. I have to think of cheap scented candles here, unfortunately. It is not totally unpleasant, but for a perfume inappropriate, in my opinion.

The base then serves up the custard. I think it smells pretty much like the one from Dr. Oetker, the one from the powder. Maybe a little too much sugared and somehow suddenly way too authentic. I don't like smelling like I spilled pudding on myself.

But if you like the scent, you can consider yourself lucky. I think I have never come across such a cheap fragrance with such a flawless durability. 2 spritzes and you come through the day. Sillage is present, but moderate, which is certainly not a disadvantage for sweet gourmand fragrances. In addition, you really have aVerlauf, which is not always the case in the price range. Often the fragrance falls after half an hour in itself to an indefinable mishmash. Vanilla Touch is not the case: smoky top note, heliotrope in the heart and pudding in the base. Therefore, the quality here should not be so bad, only smells at me just not like a perfume that I want to wear

This fragrance needs time
When I first smelled the fragrance, it reminded me of vanilla pudding. A little artificial-plastic-like he came to me but also. Otherwise, a very creamy vanilla. I found him at the beginning not so good, but with the habituation he became significantly better.
It is interesting with this fragrance that it changes its smell after longer storage. Now it is much sweeter and the slight plastic tendency is completely gone. For this, it smells very strongly of marzipan in addition to vanilla. This is really a very nice sweet-gourmand smell. There you can probably speak of "matured" rather than "tipped" with this fragrance. So a good tip, for anyone who has it and doesn't like it, just try it again later. Of course, you should generally have a desire for a sweet heavy fragrance.

Love at second sight
I bought the fragrance on recommendation without being able to smell it. When I first sniffed it at home I was disappointed. I was expecting a creamy, pure vanilla note. The scent came with a strong almond aroma and some floral note at the beginning, only after a few minutes the vanilla gradually came into play.
Until this scent, I never had the desire for an almond scent.
After a few hours, there was still a slight warm almond vanilla scent on my skin. For some reason, this reminds me of the scent of my Barbies in the 90s.

A few days later, I sprayed the scent on myself after showering and loved it.
Almond and vanilla - nothing else. Perfect for a cosy evening on the sofa.

The perfume is a great complement to Joop - Le bain. And for very little money.

Vanilla sex for Swabians
Tested for 3.95 € for ... uh... 30ml, if I remember correctly.

I was expecting alcohol and cheap synthetic vanilla and was pleasantly disappointed. I even liked the scent on the test strip so much that I put it on the back of my hand. Now, an hour and two hand washes later, it is still perceptible as a skin scent.

Apart from a minimal woody note, I don't really notice any of the other listed fragrances - the name says it all: a very pleasant and relatively natural vanilla envelops you and also lasts quite well. Sillage could be better... pfft, so what?

But seriously, back to vanilla: many of the big brands in the niche segment can't do much better. Vanilla usually plays the bass notes somewhere in the background - but if you're looking for a fragrance that puts a natural, good, pleasant vanilla in the foreground, then the air gets very thin very quickly.

This is where Vanilla Touch shines.

Funnily enough, the name corresponds exactly to what Vanilla Touch is: not only chronologically (in the ambiguous sense) the predecessor and perhaps little sibling to Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex.... but which costs almost 100 times as much.

Had to know for myself.

Honestly? I would be interested in a blind comparison between the Vanilla Touch and the Vanilla Sex. I can well imagine that the result would not be as clear-cut as TF would like :-)

Conclusion: Buy. Vanilla always works, even if it's just for layering - and at this price, it's still cheaper than vodka.

I carry you on everything.
I have loved and breathed vanilla for as long as I can remember.
I sweeten my coffee with vanilla syrup, have a weakness for vanilla crescents and vanilla sticks, could sometimes eat a packet of cold vanilla sauce from a tetra pack for breakfast.

The first fragrance I bought and opened my interest in the world of perfumes was the Lord of Misrule Perfume a wintery vanilla patch scent.
When I met a young woman who told me in an aside how much she loved vanilla (and vanilla fragrances), I set out to find the purest, purest vanilla fragrance possible. I was pretty bare at the time and was delighted when I saw Vanilla Touch in my trusted drugstore.
The first time I sprayed it, I was convinced. THAT was the closest thing to an intense, sugary vanilla.
Unfortunately, the fragrance wore off after just 2 hours...which frustrated me a little.
So I started layering Lord of Misrule Perfume with Vanilla Touch: Lo and behold - the fragrances blended incredibly well together and added a long-lasting vanilla to the patch base of one of them!
I kept experimenting...and soon I realized that Vanilla Touch may not be a particularly powerful fragrance on its own, but for the small money, it really comes into its own when you mix it with other fragrances, if you (like me) are a vanilla fanatic for whom there can't be enough of that soft, creamy sweetness.
This is a fragrance to layer, to try out and to experiment with.
Vanilla sugar to go, so to speak.
We will be spending a lot more time together.
