Delicious Vanilla

I really like this vanilla. In my opinion, it does remind me a bit of "Spiritueuse Double Vanille | Guerlain," although SDV is much more complex and, above all, longer-lasting.

On me, the scent actually lasts only about 3 hours. But I like to wear it to bed, and I feel like I'm wrapped in a cozy cloud of vanilla. I also enjoy spraying it in my hair, where it lasts longer. I know I shouldn't do that because of the alcohol content, but I don't do it often.. ;-)

For the price (250 ml for 99 euros), it's okay that it doesn't last that long. A few years ago, 1 liter only cost 40 euros here. It's also interesting to see how that has developed.

For me, it's a warm, comforting vanilla. Sweet, but the benzoin and myrrh keep it from feeling tacky or cheap.
I would definitely buy it again when it runs out.

I even got the really big bottle for just 16 at TKmaxx back then.

It's such a shame that it's no longer being produced.

Nice that it lasts at least 3 hours for you. For me, it’s gone after 15 minutes. It’s a shame the manufacturer hasn’t improved the performance.

ChaiTee:
That's probably really different for everyone. And each person might experience it differently for themselves. But compared to other fragrances, it doesn't last well on me at all. I've also wondered if there are differences between the individual batches from the manufacturer...?!

For me, it lasts significantly longer - no tricks involved. Of course, in the morning it's only close to the skin, but that's fine by me.

Yes, that's really a shame, it's a great scent!
For me, it probably wouldn't last "that long" either. But I apply lotion beforehand. Then it lasts about 3 hours for me. Otherwise, it would probably be gone even sooner... ;-)
