Vanille Orientale
I actually imagined Vanille Orientale to be a bit more multifaceted. That is, I would have liked more spices. Strangely enough, I always think of spices when I hear the word Oriental! Unfortunately, that's not the case here, but I still like this scent from Les Senteurs Gourmandes :) It is a wonderful vanilla fragrance, like most others from this brand. Each one is just a bit different!

After application, a pleasant caramel and bourbon vanilla note can be immediately detected! Not too sweet, just right for me personally. Not artificial or overpowering, which is very important to me in vanilla perfumes! One might think they have "Vanille Bourbon" from the same brand in front of them, but no, here there is still warm caramel present, which beautifully harmonizes with the bourbon vanilla and complements it! Nevertheless, "Orientale" and "Vanille Bourbon" have a very strong resemblance to each other... Towards the base note, this perfume does not lose its vanilla-caramel bouquet; it changes slightly by becoming subtly powdery and adding a light hint of mild white musk. I couldn't really perceive ylang-ylang here.

This scent is truly worth testing! Very wearable for all kinds of occasions. Also good to use for the warm season!

Caramel Candies
Could also be from La Maison de La Vanille. But it also resembles Vanille Abricot from Comptoir Sud Pacifique. Incredibly sweet, a lot of caramel, a lot of vanilla. The caramel provides creaminess on one hand, and spiciness and a roasted note on the other. In fact, it has little projection, although at the beginning you almost fall over when you get your nose too close to the sprayed area.

Somehow my imagination doesn’t kick in, the scent doesn’t evoke any fantasies. It’s quite straightforward in its message: eat me. However, it lacks a bit of refinement, a bit of multidimensionality and depth. For lovers of very sweet cream candy scents, it’s certainly worth a test. Especially since the price is unbeatable.

Unfortunately, I can’t think of more. The candy has already been sucked.

Cream Candy
This scent is laughable.
Go to the supermarket, buy cream or caramel candies and snack until you’re chubby and round.*gg*
In case of a diet, just sniff it.
Or you can spray on Vanille Orientale.
Look at the pyramid. This scent contains exactly what it promises.

A little warning: the scent is so appetizing that you will inevitably want to snack. In the absence of the aforementioned candies, I’m now snacking on nougat. That works too, somehow.

I really can’t write much more about it. The scent is cute.
A bit weak, but it could definitely be layered well.

No Oriental Vanilla
Thank you, dear Chrisantiss, for this sample. I am now testing the 3rd vanilla scent in two days, and I do like vanilla, yes, but to be honest, this one is too weak for me.
I imagined something more powerful under Vanille Orientale. After a brief moment of caramel freshness, this vanilla quickly loses its strength. Nothing like caramel vanilla pudding or anything similar. I am a bit disappointed. Just a hint of musk can be sensed.

It’s not a bad scent, no question, but nothing special; I just feel like it’s missing something floral or slightly woody, and it should last longer than 2 hours. Or is this an Eau fraiche?

Anyone who wants to try a vanilla scent of exceptional quality should test Vaniglia del Madagascar, which I liked much better; it is also rather subtle, but lasts significantly longer.

For me, it's very, very similar to Sweet Vanilla by Montale: like vanilla-apricot tart - even though there's no apricot in it... :)

Oriental? Nope. But pleasant vanilla with hints of caramel. A bit of butter toffee. Not too sweet. Could be more intense, though.

Caramel & vanilla come together in an incredibly creamy gourmand blend.
Delicious & melting!
Absolutely no Orient in sight.

Spicy, caramel vanilla scent that isn't too musky. It could be a bit stronger in the sillage. Otherwise, delicious.

Slightly vanilla, slightly caramel, not too sweet. Tasty but nothing special.

It's like standing in a candy store - and not allowed to taste anything.
Vanilla and caramel are present, but the longevity is really terrible! What a shame!

Bought it based on your descriptions. And yes, there’s nothing oriental here, thankfully. Just a sweeter vanilla from La Reunion, #Mine

My colleague just said: "It smells like food in here! Oh wait, that's you!" Hmm... I'm taking it easy!

Pleasant, sweet vanilla with a hint of ylang-ylang. Unfortunately, I don't find anything oriental here. Still a lovely scent with good sillage.
