Note Vanillee

"Mandarin, jasmine, honey, licorice, sandalwood, vanilla, cognac, rum."

I love vanilla fragrances (with Indult's Tihota, Atelier's Vanille Insensee, and Solstice Scents' Estate Vanilla being my HG vanillas), but this one doesn't work on my skin at all.

I think it's the honey and jasmine going all wrong on me, but something in this smells …Read more

It is pure magic! LOVE it. It is everything I'd hoped Guerlain's Spiritueuse Double Vanille would be, but wasn't. It is not synthetic (to my nose) or very sweet. Its boozy, but not over the top. Has great lasting power. The longer its on me, the better it smells.

I find this to be a replica of L'artisan Havana Vanille, only much softer. Havana Vanille is bold and in your face. I find Note Vanille to be much more subtle.

Agree this is similar to L by Lolita Lempicka.

I received a vial of Note Vanillee and it was instant love ...... I was so smitten that I asked for the 100ml bottle as one of my Christmas presents (it was my favorite gift!) I also own L de Lolita and totally get the comparisons, however, L de Lolita is much more in your face, sweeter and has a funkiness factor while I find Note Vanillee, more sophisticated ....... I adore the booziness and …Read more

This review is based on a sample vial, which I mention not just because I didn't have any experience with that purdy packaging, but because I do think it makes a difference to spray vs. dab perfume onto your skin. Anyway, in this case I dabbed, and this opened with the honeyed nectar goodness of Etat Libre d'Orange's Noel au Balcon. I'm not the biggest gourmand lover, and …Read more

Citrus vanilla. Not much different than L de Lempicka on my skin, except that Lempicka is richer and deeper. This has a crisp edge to the citrus, but overall it's just another boring citrus vanilla without anything to set it aside from the hundreds just like it. I didn't get any of the interesting notes reported by others. Yawn.

This is MY perfect vanilla scent. It's boozy, but not too much so, sophisticated, complex and not too sweet. It has just enough diversity of notes not to be a plain jane, yet the vanilla definitely dominates. I am in love with this fragrance and the totally gorgeous bottle it comes in, too. It also has excellent lasting power. DH loves this one, too, which is always a good thing! I found …Read more

I'm not the sort who likes one-note vanilla fragrances, but boy if I was this would be instant love. Amazing lasting power, a rich, unique vanilla, while still being obviously, vanilla.

This is a gorgeous vanilla- sweetened with honey and all the other notes in this (listed as per reviewer below) make this a great vanilla that isn't one-dimensional. I'm not a huge fan of licorise or too much booze, and luckily, there's not much of either in here. I cannot comment on comparisons to Blue Sugar or Lolita bcoz I've never smelt them. However I can say, as I have …Read more
