Giele

I wasn't familiar with the scent or the collection at all and was very surprised when I discovered it! Rouge Vanille is my favorite because I am a big fan of vanilla. The vanilla smells incredibly natural and pure; it’s not an extract, not a cookie, but simply pleasant warm vanilla. The praline in the background sweetens the whole thing, but in the end, it’s not too gourmand, as the rose is very intense. At first, I thought of rosa damascena, and when I saw rose water and Turkish rose in the notes, it all made sense. The scent is not necessarily revolutionary, but it is extremely well blended and lasts on my clothes for several days. Unfortunately, the price hurts... even for Niche/Prive, it is very high.

A super realistic gourmand scent! It smells very delicious like cake, sugar, lemon… simply delightful! I have tried similar fragrances, a good and popular example would be Lira by Xerjoff; Bake is exactly what I wished Lira would be!
After spraying, I smell slightly bitter lemon peel, a lot of vanilla, and rum. After a few minutes, it becomes a lemon biscuit with a hint of rum extract and plenty of powdered sugar on top.

I am always on the lookout for new woody vanillas, and recently I discovered Vanille Iconique. The scent is very sweet, light, but feels warmer rather than truly woody or boozy. It reminds me of Vanilla Woods by 7 Virtues, but it is fruitier. Instead of pear, there is peach here, and I can sense it immediately. It is a very pleasant gourmand; it is not heavy, and I wear it often and with pleasure. What bothers me slightly is that you can only buy it in EDT. I feel like it doesn't last long. However, layering it with a strong simple vanilla scent works wonderfully!
