Not as expected
The top note had some vanilla, but unexpectedly it also had a smokey scent. Hubby said it was "like what they might put in a casino to try and cover up the smoke -- but not a good casino. I also smelled a whiff of b.o., and no it was not us! Maybe cumin?
Fortunately that didn't last long, and then it smelled woody. Both the mid and base notes have wood listed. Then it smelled soapy. Now the smokey scent is back.
Now there's a bit of spiciness as it's drying down, like a sweet cola or possibly root beer, which I don't mind. And the final dry down might be a bit like laundry.
But I'm not going to be reaching for this one on its own, which was part of a sampler set. The good news is that Phlur said it layers well with Strawberry Letter or Mood Ring (which are also supposed to layer with each other, so I'm sure you can do all three at once). I just tried them, and I agree. If I bought a bigger bottle of any of those, however, I think I'd go for Mood Ring.

A weird vanilla pencil shavings opening which morphs into a lovely dark vanilla
When Vanilla Skin came out as a perfume, I was pretty hyped to get my hands (and nose) on it. Although I often try out body mists in store so as not to get FOMO, I have decided a long time ago against buying them and adding them to my collection for financial purpose: I don't want to stretch my money between perfumes and body mists. Anyways, back to the perfume itself: it takes awhile before Canada gets its hands on perfumes so I was lucky enough to get a decant from a fragrance Facebook group member that I trust. Here goes my review!

Vanilla Skin starts out with a weird vanilla pencil shaving kind of scent. I've got a feeling pink pepper is the main culprit for it. Thankfully it rapidly subsides after 5 minutes. You're left with a vanilla that's on the darker side of the spectrum. It's not too heavy so it can be worn during warmer temperatures (even though I don't recommend wearing it in sweltering heat), but it's definitely more fitting for fall or winter times. It's overall a sugary, warm and musky vanilla. There's some creaminess from the sandalwood and an undertone of dark woodiness that probably comes from the oud while benzoin gives it a lot of warmth, like a hug. I do have to say I never really detected pink apple or the two floral notes mentioned. Vanilla remains the star up until the very end and the base notes only serve as support. They definitely don't share the spotlight. The drydown is an ambery, warm vanilla with a hint of woodiness.

It's a pretty nice fragrance, but I already have a dark vanilla type fragrance in my stash and this one is not unique enough to add to my collection. I also wasn't a fan of the pencil shavings opening. If you don't have a dark vanilla in your collection, this could be a lovely option for you. I do have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the overall performance of it. It has a nice scent bubble and last awhile (clocked about 6 hours of projection and 8 hours on my skin).

Vanilla Skin
A simple, straightforward, sweet and cozy vanilla essence scent. It’s a touch woody in the dry down, super comforting like your favourite jumper. Projection is reasonable, but longevity isn’t, although I get that it’s supposed to be more of a skin scent. I would still consider purchasing a full bottle, it’s so delicate, pretty, and delicious, and makes for an excellent easy reach.

A Tamer Afternoon Delight
Award-winning Replica Afternoon Delight by Maison Margiela has a very unsettling lactonic note that is off-putting. Vanilla Skin is essentially the same fragrance, sans the milky sourness. I believe they are close in price, so it just comes down to which madeleine cookie fragrance you like more. Got a compliment from someone who smelled me in an elevator hours after my mid-day reapplication, so pretty good sillage and longevity. Personally, I won't be buying a full bottle. For vanillas, my heart belongs to LoveShackFancy Secret Crush...

Weird In A Great Way
This came in a Sephora sampler and it's a weird one but I'm definitely a fan. The pepper is the main note with a hint of vanilla for about the first 15 minutes, then wood completely takes over for a while, then once the wood subsides it's a nice vanilla that wore pretty close to my skin. I'm surprised at how well the pepper worked with everything, and before it developed into the woods I was getting a nice paper smell every time I sniffed my wrist.

Weird vanilla pencil shaving opening that thankfully subsides rapidly for a warm, sugary and dark vanilla with a woody undertone.

Super sugary, slightly peppery vanilla. Very sweet. Simple, nothing fancy, feels a little immature even. Nevertheless I really love this.

A toasted vanilla sugar under a blanket of pink peppery goodness. The benzoin solidifies this scent in my collection—my ideal vanilla.

Probably a nice every day vanilla, girlish, and sweet, but not b&bw-ish. Gave me a prolonged headache tho, so be careful if you're sensitive

The smell is sweet vanilla and surprisingly the oud is not overpowering. Sadly the perfume fades extremely quickly.

Multifaceted vanilla with some brightness (almost bubblegum) grounded by woodiness. Love this!

I got a heavy dose of the white floral notes and very sugary vanilla. Not it for me, but I get why it appeals.
