Vanilla and amber fresh out of the shower
I didn't like the other two vanilla fragrances by The 7 Virtues, but this one is really enjoyable. The name might be a little misleading - when I hear Amber Vanilla, I think of something very warm and balsamic. The amber here is the clean, modern, fuzzy kind, which makes sense when you look at the notes list with ambroxan and iso-e super.
So, this is a clean, slightly warm scent that is perfect for everyday use and could basically be worn year round.
It smells freshly showered without smelling like shower gel. Just steaming warm, clean, musky skin with a touch of vanilla and pink pepper on top. The floral notes don't stand out much.
I love that it feels smooth and subtle, not harsh like some other molecule-based ambers. There is a creaminess in the base which rounds out any hard edges. The scent as a whole feels kind of like a soft sandalwood fragrance, even though the notes don't indicate it.
I agree with those who voted this as similar to Glossier You. They're not twins, but at least cousins. I completely disagree with the comparison to Room 1015 Sonic Flower though. To my nose, Amber Vanilla and Sonic Flower are on the opposite ends of the "clean skin musk/You DNA" spectrum, with Sonic Flower being clean like detergent and Amber Vanilla being warmer and more skin-like. Glossier You itself is, logically, somewhere in the middle.
