Vanilla extract matured in wooden barrels
The scents here are just a fantasy product.
Who has once made vanilla extract himself (vanilla beans in alcohol and leave to draw for a long time) knows this scent!
It smells really authentic like a pickled vanilla pod, with all the wood and shell notes. A small shot of dark rum with wood barrel aroma and a few typical rum fruit esters (grape?) is also included.
The whole thing is not at all overwhelmingly sweet, but very fine. No pudding, no vanilla sugar.
The fragrance has no real course, except that, as expected, the fruity notes first diminish and only become closer to the skin over time.
I never thought I'd like a vanilla scent, and then a cheaper one, but it's really good! Whether this is portable for me is another topic ^^
The fragrance concentration is more like an EdT for me (I don't know if EdT or EdP was on it, but I usually have the impression that the cheap brands are diluted up to the extreme limit of every EU norm), but that's not bad here, so you don't smell like a bottle of vanilla extract right after the first spray and you don't have to dislocate to avoid overdose :P
The bottle I tested looks a bit different than the picture above (without the black flower pattern, it just says "Butterfly" in the middle), but has a golden spray head and cardboard (the other colors were next to it), so it will be the right one.
