Amber Musk Vanille

Oh wow! This is so fun! youthful / daytime ,/ nighttime / fall /winter / cozy / office safe The pink pepper really makes this stand out from the crowd for me, it gives that little tickle in your nose to add interest but almost feels like it wanted to be cinnamon spices and yet totally ISN'T. If you were looking for Parfums de Marly Safanad in a MUCH more youthful version, softer sweeter, office safe, carpool safe version then this is what you're looking for. This OPENED similar to Safanad but does differ on dry down to a light musk with soft spicy whipped vanilla cream skin scent. This is LESS dark, less mature, and less sensual than Safanad - still spicy but more gourmand and without the ylang ylang or Iris.. more cashmere cozy and youthfully soft. It is absolutely delicately beautiful and SWEET. I tried to test this out with multiple fragrances to see what else it compared to but Safanad is the closest so far. GUERLAIN Double Vanille, God no, Tonka Imperial, not really, Angelique Noir, meh leaning maybe a touch, Tobacco Honey, not really, Bois D'Armenie, I wish ;) And I can see the references to Zadig! and even Kilian's LDBS, but only to the fact that they're less bold and more of a SWEET skin scent, but that's pretty much the limit. That and the sweet orange blossom of LDBS is definitely recognizable. You can totally overspray this one and help boost the projection, or keep it light and soft. The musk and pink pepper helps keep this one from smelling like a home fragrance or candle. This is soft and you will go nose blind over time with this, so keep this to the back of your head and neck and pulse points instead of your neck. Add a bit of another perfume oil on your chest so your nose refreshes itself when you move. Totally recommend some rose, coconut, smokey or iris for fun options.

The opening is sweet and slightly spicy. As it dries, it becomes less sweet and I can smell an elegant and perfumey amber and musk, I mean perfumey in a nice way. As times goes by, it becomes cosier, and I can smell a light, almost acquatic rose. It is a very strange perfume, it starts quite intense and becomes lighter and softer with time. Cleaner. I can't smell the marshmallow and don't find this is gourmand but I really like it. The dry down is soft and cosy ambery vanilla, cashmere woods and delicate fluffy musk. This is a very popular scent profile at the moment, think LVEB Vanille Nude, VS Bare Sueded Vanilla, Valentino Donna Born in Roma Ivory. Unfortunately I think performance for this is quite poor, but it is pretty and comforting and a joy to wear, so I will just need to top it up 🤎🧁🌹🛁🫧🧣

Absolutely gorgeous!! A sweet take on Amber Musk! Cant wait to get a FB! This will be such a comforting scent throughout the cooler months!! Edit: Why oh why is this beautiful scent not getting more hype? It deserves ALL the love! I have now bought a second bottle as back-up!

Just tried it on for the first time today - and it's lovely. Gives me a cozy feeling. I will edit my review when I've used it a few more times. But for now; 🥰 (a couple of days after I got the sample - I bought a full bottle)

I enjoy this scent. Though doesn't last long but it's so worth it. It smells like a warm hug.
