Rich, wearable, dense, vanilla/benzoin blend
Maison Tahite Vanilla2 (stylized as Vanilla squared, with 2 as a superscript) is a rich vanilla that incorporates sugary sweet aspects (a note of praline), resins (benzoin, namely), and a floral/powdery side. Despite the name, it does not smell classically vanilla-centric, but rather more of a vanilla/benzoin blend with powdery touches on the side. It’s sweet, a bit sugary/syrupy, and is inviting, rather than overwhelming, though it is quite opulent and dense, at least to me. It reminds me mostly, off the top of my head, of Kyse Perfumes Bonbons a la Vanille. It’s easily my favorite of the vanilla-named fragrances from this house, right up there with Coffee Bomb and Vicious Cacao, my other two favorites of the house so far.
Like the rest of the line, Vanilla2 is priced at $120 for 100ml in EDP concentration, sold by Luckyscent (where I bought my sample sets) and other boutiques, and this fragrance performs very well.
