What a yummy marshmallow-y caramel vanilla!! I fell in love upon first spray of Lait de Vanille. I love the caramel note as it gives it that sweetness that I look for in my vanilla perfumes. My top favorite vanilla perfumes for reference are Mazzolari Vaniglia, St Barth Vanille West Indies, Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande, and Jousset Accident a la Vanille. Lait de Vanille sits closer to the skin on me and lasts a good three hours or so, so I like to wear this when I get out of the shower and to bed as it is very comforting. I appreciate that it is not a huge projector as it would get pretty cloying if it was. The bottle is elegant and classy, and is gorgeous displayed on my vanity. This is what I imagine a fairy princess would smell like.

Edit: I decided to wear Lait De Vanille last night and sprayed five sprays and it gave me a yummy scent bubble for about five hours and then started sitting closer to the skin. This is one of the best smelling vanilla perfumes in my entire collection and it's one that I will repurchase for sure!

Madera is a yummy caramel vanilla perfume that lasts! Yes!! I sprayed some on last night around four when I got out of the shower and I could still smell it when I woke up this morning! What a gem! I am so glad I got the 100ml because this is going to be a favorite that I use very often for sure!! Very similar to Hilde Soliani's Crema Di Latte except the caramel is more prominent in this one and it's not as 'condensed milky' as Crema Di Latte which I am happy about and also lasts wayyy longer. I also do pick up some creamy coconut and it's yummy! I highly recommend if you love Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande, Jousset Accident a la Vanille, even Mazzolari Vaniglia even thou that one has more of a cotton candy vanilla feel to my nose but also caramel. I do want to mention that this perfume is a little more on the pricey side and when I got my bottle I noticed that the label is actually a sticker that keeps coming off on one side. Not impressed with the packaging because I was expecting it to be a little more..luxe..but I absolutely love the scent so much that I am more than willing to look past this.

Gourmands (especially gourmand vanillas) are my favorite scents, and I was working on building my collection of these, so when I saw the notes for Eilish I was immediately intrigued. I drove to Ulta and picked up a bottle. Got home and it took almost an hour trying to figure out where the hell to put the perfume because it was clashing with my collection so bad LOL! That bottle is not my thing haha. After a couple of days I decided to wear it to bed to see what this vanilla perfume had to offer and I was pleasantly surprised!! It's really good! I get spiciness on the opening and then the chocolate and creamy vanilla in the dry down and it's so comforting. I could not stop smelling my shirt for a bit and I actually slept better that night than I have in a while (not sure if that had anything to do with the perfume but that's what happened). This is a deeper gourmand vanilla and I am surprised that I like it so much. I wore it for the next two nights and loved it even more every time I wore it. So, creepy bottle aside, consider me dazzled!

Oh, yes, this is a gourmand lover's dream! Accident a la Vanille is a delicious, creamy vanilla with a caramelized accord. Smells like straight up sugar cookies!! I have personally found it hard to find true gourmands outside of Indie perfume brands but Jousset really knocked it out of the park with this perfume! If I spray some on after my shower at night I can still smell it when I wake up in the morning. The bottle is not the most luxurious bottle I have ever seen as it seems to be a little cheap feeling but the sprayer on this perfume is so fine and disperses the perfume so well, and I was really surprised! I don't really pay attention to the way a perfume sprays but this one is so nice that it caught my attention. If you are a gourmand vanilla lover, and I do mean sweet vanilla, I think this is a good option to try. I would say it's comparable to Maison Mataha's Escapade Gourmande since it kind of has that creme brulee feel to it, but they are not exact dupes. I highly recommend both!

Edit: Pair this with Kyse Delizia Di Marshmallow and thank me later.

Finally, after being SOOO hard to get, she is mine!! And she is GOOD! Vani Charnel is buttery caramel cookie goodness! I wore her last night after my shower and she was still there when I woke up this morning! Such a comforting scent bubble of deliciousness and I keep wanting more! Vani Charnel reminds me of Bath and Body Works Christmas Cookies and also Jousset Accident a la Vanille, so if you are a fan of those scents I am pretty sure this would be a safe blind buy for you. Very caramel-y and heavier on the first spray but lightens up a little as I wear it. The bottle is exquisite and looks so luxe on my vanity. If you are a gourmand lover this is a must have! Absolutely yummy!
