Madagascar Vanilla Nest 2021

I honestly don't understand the hype around this one. For layering it is indeed a fairly good smell, to sweeten and deepen up any other perfume, but alone? To me, it is a synthetic mess of burnt vanilla. Vanilla is indeed prominent, but has some rubbery bitterness to it that makes it extremely unpleasant. The initial impression is creamy but it quickly turns in your face artificial and stays this way until it wears out. Longevity is pretty good for a perfume oil, but this is rather a downside. I don't get any coconut or cashmere notes, only this syrup-y plain synthetic vanilla. It is by far not the best smell among Nest's oils.
