Giele

The fragrance or the collection I did not know at all and was very surprised when I discovered them! Rouge Vanilla I like best because I am a big vanilla fan. The vanilla smells incredibly natural and pure, it is no extract, no cookie but just pleasant warm vanilla. The praline in the background sweetens the whole thing, but in the end it is not so gourmand, because the rose is very intense. At first I thought of rosa damascena, when I saw rose water and Turkish rose in the notes, the whole thing made sense. The scent is not necessarily revolutionary, but it is extremely well blended and lasts several days on my clothes. The price hurts unfortunately... even for Niche/Prive it's very high.

A super realistic gourmand fragrance! It smells very delicious cake, sugar, lemon... just delicious! Similar fragrances I have tried, a good and popular example would be Lira by Xerjoff; Bake is exactly what I would have liked from Lira!
After spraying I smell slightly bitter lemon peel, quite a lot of vanilla and rum. After a few minutes, this is a lemon sponge cake with light rum extract and lots of powdered sugar on it.

I'm always on the lookout for new woody vanillas and the other day I discovered Vanille Iconique. The scent is very sweet, light, but seems warm rather than really woody or boozy. It reminds me of Vanilla Woods by 7 Virtues, but it's fruitier. Instead of pear, there is peach here and I can feel it immediately. It's a very pleasant gourmand, it's not heavy and I wear it often and like it. What bothers me slightly is that you can only buy edt. I have a feeling it won't last long. Layering with a strong simple vanilla scent works wonderfully though!
