Vanilla Powder Matière Première 2023 Eau de Parfum

I held off on trying it for a long time because I saw other people's review about it which made me pause. Thankfully, there's absolutely no synthetic smell to my nose unless you count the sharp beginning. Instead, I'm met with a scrumptious bourbon vanilla mixed in equal parts with a creamy coconut. It's decadent, gourmand, but not heavy! Made me think of either a coconut and vanilla (pastry?) dessert or a luxurious coconut and vanilla butter cream. There's a hint of woodiness coming from the palo santo at the edge of the scent that stops it from becoming too sweet or cloying. It could probably be worn during spring or summer (no heatwave temperatures) for that reason.

Like others have said, I do admit it's pretty linear. There's less complexity and depth than other vanilla-centric fragrances out there, but the performance of this fragrance is absolutely amazing and makes up for the rest of it. If you're in search for a vanilla and coconut scent, this one is it!
