Pure Vanilla

This fragrance was my first blind buy, as I found the combination of wood and vanilla very appealing and absolutely wanted to know what it smelled like.
At a price of not even 20 €, I don't think you can go wrong.

Upon the first spray, I was greeted only by a sweet vanilla scent. There was no trace of wood to be found or even hinted at. Since I am not a fan of overly sweet fragrances, my disappointment was initially great, but as I learned from reading the comments on this site, fragrances need some time to unfold. So, I had to be patient...

While at work, I occasionally caught a light, less sweet vanilla note, but still no sign of wood.
My disappointment about that was not as great as at first, as I now found the scent note very pleasant, but after about 5-6 hours, it seemed to me that it had completely disappeared - disappointment rose again.

As it got closer to the end of the workday after another 4 hours and I sat down with colleagues for a short break, it suddenly came back. This light, pleasant vanilla.

It is absolutely not my favorite scent, as I generally prefer darker, earthier fragrances, but if I want to be sure that my perfume lasts throughout the day in summer, I gladly reach for this one.

The bottle is a matter of taste; I particularly don't like that the spray head is so cramped, which also makes it a bit cumbersome to use.

There is no information to be found online about the company Reyane Tradition. There is no website where one could learn about the fragrances, and the address listed on the packaging in Paris only leads to an iron gate.

Informative comment. The vanilla note becomes synthetic and a bit annoying after a while. Applied sparingly, though, it's nice.

Could be :)
I corrected it, it wasn't a bridge but an iron gate.
