Vanilla, but well packaged

The perfumer I trust sent me a sample of Vanilla Shot (thank you!) and I immediately put the fragrance to the test.

The fragrance starts off with a spice-saffron mix, followed a few minutes later by a light breeze of rose. The fragrance stays on my skin for a few hours. As the fragrance doesn't change, I was already doubting the name. Where is it, the dash of vanilla?

Only in the base does a - for me - nice hint of resinousness unfold with the eponymous vanilla. I can also smell a little bit of caramel. It is not a very sweet or creamy baking vanilla from the confectionery, but a very natural, slightly green vanilla, which I really like here. I can't smell the fruit explicitly, which isn't a bad thing.

The longevity is really good at more than 9 hours, the scent trail is strong at first, but fades to near-skin level after around two hours.

If you like natural, green vanilla and a focus on spices, this fragrance is definitely for you.

Like Christmas in a bottle

One of the loveliest Christmas-type scents I’ve smelled. I’ve used this sample several times and each time I can’t stop smelling my wrist. The dried fruits and citrus peels are prominent for me, followed by incense-like spices and some vanilla. It’s lovely and evocative, with a strong feel of midnight mass; it has such a connotation of winter holidays that I don’t know if I could wear it at another time of year. I do really like it, though, and could see myself getting a full bottle once my sample ran out—if only it weren’t so expensive!

the silent vanilla

I must already admit, Vanilla Shot has not disappointed me, on the contrary.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that the vanilla here wasn't crammed in like I've seen in fragrances with "vanilla" in the name. The title Vanilla Shot screams gourmand, linear delicious vanilla scent, which I would have been very excited about a few years ago. By now, however, I have a certain standard for a perfume.

That's why I was all the more euphoric when I treated myself to my first Vanilla Shot in the evening.
A good portion of unsweet saffron mixed with coriander and the rest of the spice aromas that can still be found in the spice collection wafted towards me. You have to like the synthetics in the scent, because they don't exactly hold back here. However, it does not bother me at all, because they harmonize exquisitely with the spices and the dried fruits.
Initially, Vanilla Shot stings a little, because the synthetic Kompnenten must first settle a little. But that passes relatively quickly and remains an extremely spicy, aromatic and portable synthetic fragrance.
I would almost go so far and claim, the name of the fragrance is misleading.
Because contrary to what you might suspect, you're not experiencing a shot of vanilla liqueur here. Rather, you feel transported to a moment when you're rummaging through your large tea collection consisting of various spiced and fruit teas for your favorite. It's as if you've entered a deli and you follow the scent your nose picks up until you eventually end up in the tea and spice section.
I can't exactly say whether I would describe the scent as warm or cold, for me it's actually in the middle, which is why I can definitely imagine wearing it in the summer.

The vanilla is there, but it is not in the spotlight. However, it decorates together with the caramel the entire fragrance with authentic sweetness.
The fragrance profile thus also appeals to fragrance maniacs who do not go for the squeaky sweet Vanillegourmands.
I am ultimately very happy to have tested it. Whether he is a candidate for purchase, I do not know yet. The performance is also quite good, however, I'm not sure yet whether I would reach for it often enough that a purchase would be justified...what can I say...always the same dilemma ;-)
