Cut wood meets fresh baked snikerdoodles

Gosh what a gorgeous smell! At first spray it is a beautiful spicy, complex woodsy fragrance. It may lean a bit masculine for some, especially at first.

However, as it dries, this softens up in such a delicate and lovely way. Hints of vanilla and cinnamon come through and it takes on a gourmand persona. Like snickerdoodle cookies. However, it still maintains a more "clean" aroma, and is not overly gourmand. I don't want to eat it per se, but I do keep sniffing myself and it's heavenly!

Sweet, creamy and powdery.

Ok for the Prada Luna Rossa black side but only at the opening. (Musk/Pepper).
From mid to dry it's Fat Electrician's Free State orange. Well almost.. Take Fat Electrician, strongly dilute the vetiver and its smoky side and add a big dose of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.. Call it what you want but it's a bit like that. Also found in this creamy mixture a little teak with tonka, or I would say a sandalwood to my nose. It's pretty well done but I must admit that I really expected something else. Especially since I'm not a fan of F.E

Winter staple. Luxuriously smooth.

Amazing and phenomenal smooth vanilla-almond-tonka bean scent. A staple in my collection for winter and fall, so I have a backup bottle. The projection on this is fairly discreet but it's a beautiful scent for your personal bubble or for personal encounters with others. Longevity is 3-4 hours max on my skin. I would compare this scent's similarity to Commodity's Milk Expressive or L'orchestre Parfums Piano Santal, but a much nicer and smoother version that is free of unpleasant accords.

Elegant and classy Vanilla with Tonka

This house is so underrated and I don’t know if men has found their perfumes. They have many unisex ones like Bois Doré and even the rosy ones are so intriguing on men, especially Moonlight Rose

The scent is warm, very classy yet cozy. I love the mineral notes with Vanilla instead of brown sugary notes which sometimes ruins the beautiful Vanilla. There is a little bit salty feeling which makes this scent unique. Like almost all VC&As this is quite simple blend and that’s why they are so versatile, you can wear them wherever you want. The base is smooth and Cedar wood with Tonka and White musk create a soft and sensual touch to the blend. It wraps around you and it hugs you affectionately. The scent is lingering beautifully, not loudly, it’s an elegance in the bottle. VC&A’s style to make Vanilla is exceptional because it’s always classy, never a heavy gourmand which would be clearly edible. The longevity is surprisingly good and I can smell it on my skin next morning if I have sprayed it in the evening.

This scent shares the same dna with Orchidée Vanille and Bois d'Iris - both of them are my favorites as well.

Douceur boisée

Un très joli parfum boisé, avec une belle note d amande verte qui arrondie le tout. C est bien mélange, ça se pose délicatement sur la peau pour anvoyer des effluves élégantes autour de vous.
Le sillage est modéré mais je l ai sentie très correctement au grès de mes mouvements.
J aile les boisés pas trop sec et c est le cas ici.
Le flacon est sobre mais de bonne facture, c est élégant ,simple et chic comme son jus.
Un air de silky woods en moins sucre et avec une amande verte et croquante. C est un OUI pour moi
