Perfume & Aromatherapy
With "Douceur Vanillée," I bought a perfume for the first time solely because of its aromatherapeutic effect. Until now, I have only experienced this with individual essential oils.
I noticed while testing the Acorelle fragrance sample set that this perfume calms me. It envelops me in a very delicate yet impressive way. I also had the impulse several times to apply it before going to bed, and it was wonderful to fall asleep with it. The scent radiates a loving yet strong softness, unlike any other perfume I have encountered so far. And it helps me transform my pent-up anger and aggression.
However, the name "Vanilla Sweetness" conveys a somewhat misleading impression. It is not a classic vanilla scent. It is primarily a powdery-fruity white-yellow-apricot-colored floral fragrance on - yes - a fine sweet vanilla-benzoin base. Sunny, feminine, and creamy. Although the longevity could really be better. That is the only drawback. But I simply spray and roll it on more often. There is also a 10ml roll-on.
Acorelle itself describes this 100% natural perfume as "encouraging." And in the official description, it actually says:
"… Douceur Vanillée is a strengthening and calming scent. The essential oil of Ylang Ylang eliminates disappointments, doubts, and lack of self-confidence and helps to rediscover softness, tolerance, harmony, and serenity. Benzoin is often recommended for cases of emotional exhaustion or depression and is also particularly uplifting. It alleviates nighttime fears, outbursts of anger, sadness, and emotional shocks. The added floral water of organic rose calms, relieves tension, and promotes inner harmony."
I only read this description after my extensive testing. My impression is thus fully confirmed. Wow.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a natural scent that can help you transform your pent-up anger, then give "Douceur Vanillée" a try. I feel the scent primarily in the solar plexus, where it has a soothing effect, and I see its color as light yellow-apricot.
If you want to wear it as a fine summer perfume, which I can certainly recommend, just be prepared to spray it on frequently and often.
I am curious about your experiences.
