That damn madagascar vanilla
So many mixed reactions surrounding this perfume, like: "grandma perfume" "not a vanilla" "super strong jasmine".
Well... most of them are wrong, especially "grandma". Are we forgetting that grandma's were baddies in their youths? that stupid description is NOT stopping me from trying anything.
I really came in the shop with no needs of trying it, but since I was there, why not?
The vanilla slapped me.
Straight up soft - creamy vanilla harassing my nostrils with some ice cream type of goodies. I told you, I got slapped so hard my credit card slipped and I (sadly) had to buy it.
Now, the perfume is a very good mix of vanilla and jasmine. At first, the vanilla is very much prominent and I could smell the delicate scent on my wrist. When it fades, the jasmine is way more present and it tends to be powdery as well. I agree that after multiple hours, it's way more into a generic type of jasmine, I'll say it can disturb many, but I'm fine with it. The dry down also reminded me of Le Temps des Secrets - Amande & Fleur de Murier like a powdery bitter almond without removing that incredible and warm vanilla.
I really love Lancôme DNA and never once thought it was "too old" or "grandma".
I 100% recommend vanilla lovers to take a sniff !
