You have to let it develop
Purchased this as a blind buy and let it sit on the shelf. At first spray the smokiness is overwhelming and gave me the thought that I would never like this fragrance. I was scrolling through IG with the tester strip sitting in my hand randomly smelling it and bam it developed into a beautiful vanilla scent. I truly understand the name now and the hype.
Time and Age Matters
This is definitely one of those fragrances where time and age matter to me. When I first purchased this fragrance and sprayed it, I could not stand it. I thought it smelled awful. I thought it was too strong. I thought it was something that I would never wear and then I just let it sit on my shelf for a while. I think I purchased this and July of 2025. Haven't touched it since so today I was going through my fragrances trying to declutter and get rid of some things and I picked this up and sprayed it just to see what it smelled like. I was blown away by the smell of this fragrance. It is a beautiful fragrance. I know that the fragrance had time to macerate, but I also believe that my nose had time to age and mature because how I ever thought that I didn't like this fragrance. It's crazy to me because I absolutely love it. The tropical fruitiness mixed with the leather and the old is just amazing. I am so glad that I decided to spray this once again and not just declutter it
I love it
This is amazing, I am really trying to boast my Vanilla collection and this is one that I didn’t know about initially but glad that I discovered it. This is a beautiful scent. The Vanilla is sweet, the caramel is prominent and the honey steals the show. I love the powdery dry down. I am highly impressed with this fragrance. The projection is on point as well.
Longevity Problems
I was so excited about this fragrance as I love cherry however it just didn't last on me. It disappeared within the hour. I was highly disappointed as it was highly rated and smelled great in the store. This is a true example of when people say to spray the fragrance and then walk away and if you really love it come back and purchase it. Great lesson learned.
No Way... Not for me
I purchased this quite a few months ago and left it on the shelf and never used it thinking that it will get better the longer that it sat. Well i sprayed it on me today and this was not the answer for me. It smelled like hair spray. AquaNet... the 90s version. I was taken aback because i am sure that I smelled it when i purchased it and it wasn't that bad.
