Looking for a cozy rose vanilla

Looking for a cozy rose vanilla 1

Looking for a cozy velvety rose vanilla frag to get me through the rest of winter into spring, a quiet evening to myself self-care vibe. Nothing too sexy or animalic. I have a lot of rose frags but nothing is quite hitting the spot. I like Le Labo Rose 31 but looking for something without the animalic side and with a cozy vanilla facet. I also have SHL Rose de Petra and I like the warm spiced nature of this but again looking for something vanillic. 
I was thinking about Akro Crush but haven't smelled it and I wonder if it might be too gourmand/sugary, I don't necessarily want to smell like a an edible pastry. I have a sample of Mancera Roses Vanille and its close to what I want but too waxy/soapy in the mid phase, I do like the more creamy dry down. 

I’m not a luxury frag snob, I’d be open body mists like from Bath and Body works, I just can’t tell how anything actually smells when I go in there… or SDJ, etc. I was also thinking about Sinf Rose Era, I know a lot of people were disappointed in its composition and performance but I don't mind something basic and close to the skin so pls lmk if it might fit my brief. 

Thanks so much for any recs!

Hey @Jamian !

Rose Era doesn’t have cream or vanilla, so you might be disappointed with that one.

Crush is extremely sugary (and has other notes more prominent than the rose), so it also might not be what you’re looking for.

Aside from Roses Vanille Eau de Parfum which you already tried, and since you said you don't mind BBW: here are 3 rose blends available in the US with a creamier, more prominent vanilla. They’re only on resale platforms now, but hopefully the reviews/descriptions (I wrote about each one on their pages) help for potential blind-buying:

1) Whipped Rose & Vanilla
2) Belle
3) Inspire Love - Rose & Vanilla Essential Oil Mist (I wrote about it on the EDP page)

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback and recs! I’ll look into trying the ones you mentioned!

@Jamian of course, happy to share ☺️ hoping you find something you love, and I'd be interested to hear any updates (I love this type of scent too)!

P.S. I just saw @needlefx 's review of Noble Blush Eau de Parfum - I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds like it could fit what you're looking for!

I was about to bring up Noble Blush Eau de Parfum but i see @Gourmandgrl beat me to mention my own review Wink But Noble Blush is a very sweet and cozy rose with a creamy drydown, that isn't Overly floral, but it is powdery if you have feelings about that. But it's absolutely a comfy fluffy rose with nothing particularly sexy or animalic. I'd definitely sample it because the bottle is huge.

I'll also say that I do have Rose Era and it is *not* creamy, it's a very green and fresh strawberry-rose. Still lovely though.
