I got interested in Vanilla Woods as I’m on the search for nice vanilla fragrances. When I first rolled it on my skin, I could smell the juicy and sweet pear. On my skin the pear is the star and clearly hogs the spotlight. I did detect a faint whiff of rose in the background that seemed to be supporting the overall fruity and juicy scent. After a few minutes the pear seems to have this grainy almost smoky (and woody?) accord to it. I could picture the flesh of a juicy pear in my mind while smelling it.
It’s a nice intimate and inoffensive smell that can be worn during the day and before going to bed. I see myself wearing it during spring and summer. Unfortunately it’s not a true vanilla fragrance on my skin. The pear is the name of the game here. It often oscillates between juicy and sweet or smoky and woody. It’s nice overall, but not truly my thing, so I don’t think I’ll be getting a full bottle.
