Low Fat Cream Soda

This is a very good quality Madagascar vanilla extract fragrance for the price- not cloyingly sweet, but with a touch of airy cotton candy fluff spun with just the right amount of yummy vanilla and very natural compared to Comptoir Sud Pacifique's "Vanille Abricot", for example, which I find very contrived. LSG's Vanille Bourbon is with a touch of soft white musk and natural coconut with a tad of powder in the base. there's a bit of a burnt sugar (caramel) not in the finish, but it's fairly subtle on me. I also get a very light touch of the aniseed/licorice but it's an after thought to a strong cream soda vanilla core with light whispy touches of cherry tobacco underneath. It is easy to wear and easy to blend with other fragrances. My only issue with this scent is its rather pitiful longevity. Inspite of its liquid sheer quality and fleeting staying power, Vanille Bourbon creates a beautiful aura last about an hour with a non-nonsense vanilla cream dream. I just want more!!!

Vanille Bourbon vs Vanille de La Réunion

Vanille de La Réunion is not the same fragrance as Vanille Bourbon. Vanille Bourbon has been discontinued, after that Vanille De La Reunion released.
Notes are different, the scents are different, too.
Vanille Bourbon: Bourbon vanilla, anise, toffee, red berries, coconut, white musc
Vanille De La Reunion: Madagascan vanilla, salted butter caramel, white musc
I own both scents, I love De La Reunion more; the 'salty' accord makes it more interesting and not too sweet. Vanille Bourbon reminds me of Vanille (EdP) by Molinard - sweet, cosy vanilla with fruity nuances. Both frags are perfect for Winter, specially if you're a fan of gourmands.

The Vanilla Search Continues

When I sampled Vanille Bourbon, I was taken by its simplicity and comfort. So I decided to choose one of the vanillas to buy (there are many versions to choose from). The price is very reasonable but unfortunately, this vanilla was not for me simply because the lasting power and sillage were nonexistent. The vanilla is a bit synthetic with a creamy balance. I do not detect much boozyiness in terms of this being bourbon. The problem is that the scent disappears right away. It did not last on me even for 15 minutes. If you overspray, however, the scent becomes very unpleasant. There is just no way around it: my vanilla search continues.

Lindt white chcolate truffle

One of my indulgences is the Lindt white chocolate truffles, and this embodies them in fragrance form. Very vanilla, creamy, and a little heavy on the nose. I did not notice any berries. But the advantage to this fragrance is that the old saying "one moment on the lips, forever on the hips" does not apply here.

Bourbon Vanilla

Vanille de la Réunion by Les Senteurs Gourmandes is true to its name, offering a simple yet beautiful, authentic Bourbon vanilla — just as you'd expect.

Not too sweet, well-crafted, very pleasant to wear, and the price is more than fair — what more could you ask for?

It lasted well on my skin, too.

Pleasant and simple. Similar to some others fragrances, but I prefer those a bit more due to complexity.

Delicate, very subtle vanilla scent. One-dimensional, as not much happens here, maybe a hint of caramel... harmoniously beautiful.

Pure vanilla scents have charm, but here the salted caramel is a bit too much, making the fragrance too semi-gourmand.

Creamy sweet vanilla with a subtle caramel undertone, smooth without edges, twists, or special development. Quite nice, but also a bit boring.

A solid vanilla scent with a slightly salty twist and no development. I miss something special here.

Scented candle or perfume - that is the question. If the blue-yellow furniture store ever closes - the vanilla candles are captured. Beautiful. Layer it!
