Splendid Vanille

This is a great fragrance if you're itching for Sublime Vanille from Creed, but don't want to dish out the big bucks. There are, however, a few differences that may make or break it for you: Splendid Vanille, here, leans slightly more citrus and "fresh" on my skin, the creaminess is still there (with a heavier load of tonka in the drydown, it picks up almost a bit hairspray-like because of the citrus combo), the unique almost dry vanilla is there - the two scents are the same type of "non-gourmand gourmand", where it's clearly vanillic, and very delicious, but not exactly edible. Sublime Vanille from Creed however, does lean a bit more hazy and sweet, thicker, and a hint more powdery - which I do prefer. I would say for the price, it's a good way to get your fill, but not an exact matchup! Splendid Vanille, as a standalone scent, is ideal for a vanilla-lover's summer scent! This sits very close to the skin, and lingers for a bit, but definitely won't be cloying or overpowering in the warm weather. In the drydown, it picks up that "warmed beach skin" feeling, is reminiscent of a vacation, and is all around sunny, sparkling & enjoyable! Important Edit: I am consistently blown away by the performance of this fragrance over Sublime Vanille. EASILY 10-12+ hours on clothes, and 4-6 on skin. Really clings. Projects moderately. Amen.

Awesome! Almost identical, Better than Sublime IMHO Starts off louder than Sublime Vanille. Almost hurt the first few times I spritzed but it settles in to a long lasting, outstanding dupe, seriously, I've got them one on each wrist and this one is the one for me. If you love the quiet, subtle opening on the creed this could be offensive at first because boy what a kick in the face but my olfactory sense have quickly got used to it and I'm enjoying a long lasting vanilla velvet. I'm super excited, woot woot!!!! Update I just wanted to say that with this particular interpretation, even if I was rich finacialy, I would still buy this one over the creed simply because it's a stronger perfume. But I could understand that a person seeking the beautiful meekness of the csv this could be to strong. A+ and a favourite in my collection.

What can I say I blind bought this one when I put my first order in Alexandria Fragrances, after much research and Im glad I did! SPLENDID VANILLE is so yummy is just good! Subtle skin scent but so perfect for any time and place. You get a lime kick at first then it settles I to this soft Vanilla mixed with what almond type scent and the citrus is there but not as strong its just wonderful. Im so impressed with this company and the "dupes" it makes its unbelievable. 100% blind buy this you won't t regret it.

I am certainly biased towards this fragrance house. While they don't have a 100 percent success rate, they always come close to hitting the mark. This is a splendid clone that isn't quite the same but will still put you in a reminiscent state of mind. The citrus is first and foremost for the first few weeks but if the bottle is allowed to sit for some time then the scent really comes together.

It's a lovely complex vanilla fragrance. The sweetness is balanced well with the tonka and bergamot. It doesn't have much projection but I suppose you could remedy that with more sprays. On skin, it does have very good longevity (10-11hrs easy).
