Screechy opening followed by easygoing, better-blended drydown
Maison Tahite Floranilla is aptly named as a vanilla-meets-flowers featuring notes of heliotrope, iris, tangerine, myrrh, and vetiver. It starts out a bit sharp and floral but dries down to a cozier more vanilla-forward mix, definitely more in balance, but the opening is less welcoming, in my opinion, than that of most of the other fragrances in the house. Still, it’s quite nice when drying down, but it’s not the first vanilla I’d reach for, especially after I tried Vanilla yesterday, which I loved.
Like the rest of the line, it’s priced at $120 for 100ml in EDP concentration, sold at Luckyscent and other boutiques. The pricing is very reasonable for indie/niche, and the fragrance performs quite well.
