Vanilla for everyday life
The beautiful Secrets d'Essence - Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher has been on my mind for a few days now. Like so many fragrances that I like very much, this one is once again discontinued. Sometimes I think I'm just always too late. I've only known it for a few days and only by chance, because after the first shock I decided to test the more than abundantly filled fragrance package of the dear HappySunny completely. Finally, you never know what you miss.
The decision proved to be absolutely right. Because this fragrance is simply magical. The first moment I sprayed him on paper, he reminded me of my beloved Confetto by Profumum Roma. On the skin, however, it was, quieter, quieter with much less sweet opulence. On the back of my hand, it made me think of Aubade, which I also love but have never bought. A heliotrope scent, which at first surprised me a bit, because Vanille Noire seems to be completely devoid of that note. Anise, like Confetto, there's with him also not, even if I initially believed to sniff him.
Vanille Noire has not so much exciting to offer besides the vanilla, by the way, three different vanilla notes. At least that's what the stated fragrance notes claim. There is orange blossom, but I do not perceive here at all. Mandarin and mimosa I find further in the listing, which I also do not recognize as such. Cedarwood I'll put up with, but I wouldn't have suspected that note here either. Still, I really like the overall concept of a floral-tinged, non-edible vanilla overall. The scent is sweet, and is probably perceived sweeter in the radiation than the wearer would rate it. I had already experienced something similar with Vaniglia del Madagascar by I Profumi di Firenze, which I think it resembles the most when worn for a few hours. Because despite all floweriness we have here a quite monothematic vanilla and also no real scent progression.
Wears really pleasant, this fragrance, but I think the almost triple amount for which he is still to get today on relevant online sales platforms, I do not have to spend now necessarily for it. To 100 percent I'm admittedly not yet decided whether I should not get him, is quasi vintage and that also has its certain charm, but if I'm honest, I think it does not really have to be.
Nevertheless, I can recommend the little one, and to all those who fragrances like Confetto by Profumum Roma, Hypnotic Poison by Dior or even, for example, Andalusian Soul by The Merchant of Venice are a little too powerful. This pretty vanilla beauty goes in that direction, but is very delicate and never overbearing. You practically can't apply too much, as the sillage is very low and the scent stays close to the body. This is a big plus of the little one. A wonderful everyday fragrance it is in contrast to the rather more lush, further above mentioned relatives. Whether you want to invest more than 70 euros for it, however, where he was originally quite cheap to get, then again everyone must decide for themselves.
