Boozy bourbon vanilla with almond, cognac, and resins--very nice!
Sampling Vivamor Parfums Vanilla Vice, one of five new perfumes released as part of a discovery set a couple of weeks ago. To my nose, it’s a spicy bourbon vanilla mostly, with some hints of some of the listed notes—namely, cognac, almond, and tonka—as it has a notable sharpness accompany the vanilla. It’s elegantly done, not quite the achievement as Dior Vanilla Diorama from a couple of years ago, but still a great, rich, smooth, but slightly provocative vanilla-rich fragrance, something that vanilla lovers are likely to enjoy but also not so vanilla-centric or cake-like that it’s likely to scare anyone off. Evolution-wise, it fittingly has a bit more of the cognac/almond warmth and boozy/sharp aspect in the opening but gives way to more of a generic resinousness in the dry down. Overall, really lovely stuff, and I’m 3 for 3 with loving the new releases so far.
As with the other new releases from Vivamor, this is priced at $125 for 100ml in extrait concentration, somehow lower-priced than even the initial eleven releases at $145 for 100ml. Both collections are sold on the house website as well as via great boutiques like Perfumology, which I’d recommend.
