A refined and elevated Roses Vanille
This is one of the best rose-vanilla perfumes out there. Seriously.

It’s a more elevated Rose Gourmand and Roses Vanille IMO. Not synthetic at all like the other two. The amber, citrus, and white florals just add an air of luxury, class, and sexiness to the fragrance. It’s got great longevity and projects beautifully as well. The first time I wore this around my boyfriend, he kept telling me how good I smelled and he usually doesn’t react like that to a lot of my perfumes. Funmi Monet really snapped with this fragrance and if you get a chance to smell it, please do. I promise you will not be disappointed. Sure it may not be groundbreaking, but it’s been done in such a high-quality way that outshines many other rose-vanilla scents. This is up there with Lancôme’s Parfait de Roses, which is another rose-vanilla-amber combo that I just adore.

I’m so happy to have gotten my hands on a full bottle and I will cherish it for the rest of my days.

Exalté is still available for purchase in the 30 ml / 1 oz size on the Bella Aura website if you’re ever looking to get your hands on it!

Harmoniously beautiful like Orpheus, the God of Music
Wow I love this perfume. It’s strong without being overbearing, it’s clean, fresh, and a little sensual.

The opening starts off very masculine with the blast of juniper berries. But then once the jasmine and the other notes come in, it helps to soften the overall vibe of the scent a bit and make it completely unisex. It never turns very sweet on my skin, but does develop a beautiful warms from the Tonka bean. The cedar adds a stunning touch of wood, making the scent very well rounded. It’s addictive, harmonious, and perfect composed - which makes its name ever more suitable. I wore it yesterday to work and right after I sprayed it on myself, my boyfriend took the bottle and sprayed himself too. We walked out my place smelling so beautiful.

Like I said before, it’s quite strong with really amazing performance. Stays on the skin for 10+ hours easy, and projects for about 4-5 hours, but in a very subtle way. If Fleur de Peau didn’t work out for you, definitely give this one a go. It’s a beautiful way to do “skin scent” that would smell nice on literally anyone. This will probably be in my collection forever.

Raise a glass to the Angels’
You already know that this is the bomb dot com. As someone that doesn’t classify themselves as a “gourmand” lover, I do like gourmand fragrances when they are done right. And this right here gourmand done RIGHT. It’s one of my favorites from Kilian.

I learned of the meaning of Angel’s Share at the end of last year when I went on a girls trip with my friends. We visited a brewery and the tour guide was telling us about how in the process of fermentation, the portion of the alcohol that is lost due to evaporation is called the Angel’s Share! Isn’t that neat?

This is a stunning combo of vanilla, tonka, cognac, oak, and cinnamon. Again, nothing else like this is my collection. It’s truly one of a kind. It’s boozy, sweet, spicy, woody, warm, and just DELICIOUS. I wore it to work sometime ago and I just remember this woman in the elevator kept looking in my direction as if she wanted to ask me what I had on. It’s one that fills up a space and evokes boujie coziness. Perfectly unisex. Strong sillage and great longevity. I don’t get the Apple-y vibe that everyone gets but it is reminiscent of a dessert in a pie form.

Even if you don’t like gourmands, this one is worth a try. This is an absolute love for me and will remain a staple in my collection for the colder temperatures.

A very green fig with a touch of sweetness
This fragrance was just okay for me, only because I’m not big on green scents / accords.

While the scent itself wasn’t bad, the fig tree added too much greenery to the over all scent for me. Yes, it did get sweeter in the dry down from the fig and vanilla, but held it greenness throughout. It wasn’t wearable at all for me, so I ended up selling it.

It’s definitely a very unique scent and almost gives tropical vibes, but it’s just not my cup of tea. My favorite kind of fig-vanilla combo is Philosophy’s Sweet Vanilla and Fig. I will say the projection and longevity in this and other Theodore Kalotinis fragrances are wonderful, so that’s a plus if you enjoy this scent profile.

A milky mess (sorry!)
I think I’m in the minority of people that don’t LOVE this perfume. I don’t hate it necessarily, but I’m not jumping for joy about it either.

Don’t get me wrong, the scent itself is nice, but something in there is giving the overall fragrance a weird synthetic-ness. Although I appreciate lactonic notes and accords, I’m not really sure if I like how it’s being done here. It feels a little bit like the milk is clashing with the other notes and it’s not as seamless as I expected it to be. It’s smooth but not at the same time? It’s a bit of a weird one for me.

What I will say is that this has great performance (and it better for how much it f*cking costs LOL), so if you like the scent, that makes it even better for you I can imagine. It’s also something you could wear whenever I feel, so appropriate for all seasons, day and night. It’s quite strong, so I wouldn’t overspray this as it could be nauseating to those not used to lactonic accords.

My bf liked how this smelled on me when I first tried it a few months ago and I revisited it again today. Still, I’m not being blown away by it like I feel I should (or like the way everyone else is so into it). I feel like it’s a scent that would annoy me after smelling it around myself after a while.

If you have a chance to try it, give it a go. Do NOT blind buy.
