The Legerdenez blog says that the benzoin in this scent produces an effect like that produced by multiple mirrors. I would use a musical simile--this is like vanilla on reverb. An incensey, intense...

The best vanilla i have ever tested so far and i am VERY into vanillas!! Spicy, woody, not too fruity (like Casmir), slightly smokey (but not as much as the Serge Lutens), also a foody/yummy...

Interesting. I recieved this as a sample from an Ebay decanter. The first couple of times I tried it, I got just a simple, true vanilla--not too sweet, not too foody. This most recent time,...

This must be one of those scents that depends entirely on your own chemistry. There was not even a hint vanilla when I first put this on--I actually thought there'd been a mistake with the sample....

I don't tend to wear vanilla scents, and so I have to say Vanille Exquise was OK on me - for a vanilla! I didn't seem to have the experience some other reviewers have had, as I didn't find the...

This is more of a dry, woody fragrance than a sweet gourmand one, which is why I find the name so misleading. I also detect a dry almond note that cannot do much more than watch helplessly as the...

So many vanillas are just too sweet for me, but not this one! The vanilla note is apparent from the beginning on me, and then I smell the woods. The musk is never that strong, but I do get the...

Bourbon and vanilla are nice to drink, but not to wear. The strange chemical smell is the bourbon. One of my friends makes a bourbon cake that smells very much like this.

*Swoon* Loved it from the very first sniff from the vial, and loved it even more the moment after it made contact with my skin. The opening notes are very strong, as others have said, but in a...

I normally love vanilla fragrances but this one was just too strong for me. The smoky, woodsy vanilla smell could easily give me a headache!

Can't understand all those bad reviews here, for me this is a very nice vanilla. A very grown-up, sophisticated, not foody vanilla with nice woody and musky undertones. On me it smells also a...

I loved this scent, although after a couple hours I couldn't smell it anymore. A very rich smelling vanilla, not bitter at all, but light.

um, no- this ought to be renamed Vanilla Soda, it's a really effervescent,'skinny' vanilla. I like mine to be richer,darker and not so juvenile.

This one is unusual as far as vanilla fragrances go, like other reviewers noted before it is not of a food-y type. You can sense vanilla present in the fragrance at all times, but it is more of a...

Smoky, woodsy vanilla – sounds like my cup of tea. But that’s not what I get from Exquise. I get slightly sweet incense. Where’s the vanilla? If you like incense scents, you might want to try...

I can't work this out. I get parsnips. I get parsnips from a few of the annick goutal fragrances, and this is one of them. Sweet parsnips, but parsnips all the same. I second the rec for the Surge...

nearly my holy grail vanilla. Very smoky and woody on my skin mellowing to natural non cakey vanilla. But doesnt last. Im going to try the absolute when I can afford it as the actual scent is PERFECT
