Vanilla Éclat Navitus Parfums 2024

Weird lemon, rice pudding combo
Vanilla Eclair opens with a creamy vanilla and an icy cold lemon sorbet in the opening. The lemon is almost like a candied lemon peel to me. It throws me off because I feel it doesn’t quite go together. Im eating lovely winter warm, cosy, creamy rice pudding with a glass of summery homemade lemonade. I really like the lemon note, but find it confusing with the rest of the scent. It does fade into the background, and the scent evolves into a vanilla rice pudding, but the coconut, cinnamon and spices are super faint to me. I find the scent overall quite weak. I wish the notes (minus the lemon) were much stronger. Not full bottle worthy for me.
