Vanille Outremer / L'Aromarine

I always thought I would only like vanilla in perfumes as an extra. Goddess was too boring for me, too over-scented and I thought it was because of the vanilla. Other hyped vanilla fragrances such as Vanilla | 28 also failed to win me over. Vanilla as the main player in fragrances often smells buttery, artificial and lame to me. That's why I had very low expectations of "Vanilla | Outremer / L'Aromarine" and ordered it because of its beautiful bottle and to have a straightforward fragrance for layering very tart scents.
Oh, how wrong I was about this note. Apparently it's just the vanilla combined with floral notes that bores me so much.
This fragrance is totally plain. Vanilla and really nothing but vanilla. No vanilla ice cream, no scented candle, no vanilla body lotion.
Vanilla, as if freshly scraped from the pod. Super linear, no surprise in the drydown, just pure sweetness that is not at all intrusive and very warm.
Very versatile too, I can imagine the fragrance on a cold winter's day, but also on a warm sunny day.

Unfortunately, it's probably no longer being produced, which makes me sad because my 50ml probably won't last forever. Our love story has only just begun and it's already coming to an end. So our love is a little bittersweet. It doesn't matter, I look forward to spraying it on all the more every time and, as we all know, the best things in life are finite.
