Novae Vanilla

I got my sample 2 weeks ago, I know there’s a lot of hate for VP but I adore it and want to own as well. I haven't decided which one since I got the extrait sample after the OG, so I am unsure of which one Ill end up with but the accord that bothers many in VP (the original at least), I have no issues with, nor do I find that or this to be a powdery frag (which is a good thing). My associations with powder(y) are in a different way; Iris, a fancy soap thats gone bland found in an old persons home, and actual things relevant to baby powder minus the baby powder scent, but thats just me. Before I sprayed this I opened the cap and was worried that it might be redundant to buy both as it def had a similar whiff. The next day I tried it on and when I opened the cap again it was sweeter after smelling VP, and was relieved. While the opening had a bit if VP similarity, there was some similarity in the opening, its not nearly enough to say this is identical or if you have one of the VP, don’t buy this. I’d say it’s about 30% similar, and tested this on one arm and the OG VP on the other. It goes on smooth and it’s a gorgeous vanilla. The mimosa is there and gives an ever so floral note, but its more in the background, and the vanilla later leans towards a boozy sweet vanilla, and by the 6th+ hr it’s reminiscent of Vanilla Essence which I love and want but find it’s projection to be way too weak. I haven’t tried Lune Feline or any others by this brand but was impressed. In a world full of vanillas, which I’m currently exploring, this was a definite must for me. I disagree strongly that it smells basic, or has any resemblance to TF vanilla sex, as I like that frag as well but haven’t bought it yet cause that I feel to be a very overpriced vanilla w absolute no depth, (still I want it), but it’s nothing like some other vanillas out there. VS contrary to its name, is closer to "IM VANILLA," no intrigue, no seduction, nothing beyond. I got this for a good price during the BF sales and I am excited to own it. It changes throughout the wear which i enjoyed, and I love the pretty bottle. Though I don’t think I’ve found any perfume with the longevity of VP, anyone that likes a non sickly sweet gourmand vanilla but also not green, this has the perfect amount of sweetness, it’s got the booziness that’s reminiscent of SDV, with decent projection, and above average longevity. I don’t think there’s a vanilla I’ve seen in the reminds me section or any I’ve tried that remind me of this. If you’re a vanilla lover, def give this a shot. Very unique, versatile for all seasons, and overall a winner.

I don't understated all the negative reviews on this fragrance. In my opinion this is a pure, yet ethereal Vanilla Bean forward scent. The vanilla in this is not a sticky sweet gourmand vanilla, which I love because I'm really not into overly sweet gourmand vanillas. I don’t get the comparisons to Vanilla Powder or Bianco Latte, which I owned and decluttered, unfortunately they both weren’t for me. I really don’t get much of the mineral notes, maybe a little in the opening. I think the Mimosa note in this adds a beautiful golden touch. Novae Vanilla has a very simple note break down, but I would not say this is basic. The longer it sits on skin the better this fragrance gets, you must try on skin because that is where it really develops. The different types of vanillas start to turn into a more rich, deep, sweet, yet airy vanilla. The golden woody amber in the base really grounds this fragrance. A beautiful vanilla that can be worn all year round and has really good longevity. I love this💕

I’ve never been a fan of this brand , nothing ever hooked me enough to buy a full bottle. But this one... it stole my heart from the very first spray 😍 This is an incredibly tender, airy, almost ethereal vanilla. It’s not gourmand, not heavy, not caramel-bakery at all, it’s slightly creamy with a delicate floral touch. For some reason it instantly reminds me of the flesh of a ripe banana with those white stringy bits, exactly that kind of soft, gently sweet, creamy feeling. I do pick up the mineral notes, but very subtly, somewhere in the background; they add a “sun-kissed” vibe and prevent the fragrance from sliding into pure dessert territory. The sillage is soft and refined. Pure pleasure and the feeling of luxurious vacation in a bottle. Finally Atelier des Ors has won me over, for me this is a solid 10/10! 👏🏻

Rich vanilla — very intense. It is almost like a vintage vanilla fragrance. Vanilla pods, tinctured with a lot of Madagascar/Bourbon absolute. To me it is quite floral as well (very intense) and I would say that it has a mineral aspect which translates into a tad of salt. I love it and it’s nuclear what a powerful presence it has. I am completely in awe 🥰 it lasts all day! Amazing work 🤩 People saying that it smells like Vanilla Powder should get an appointment for getting their nostrils deeply checked— the sooner the better 🆘 get some help. I see more resemblance to Palo Santo by Carner than to VP.

I love vanilla fragrances. This does not disappoint. It’s warm, sweet and a bit dusty. Novae Vanilla is a well balanced vanilla that is very unique and still being easy to wear. The warmth lends it to be a great scent for the evening, but I will wear it during the day as well. For Lune Filene lovers, this isn’t a similar scent. It has some similar vibes to Vanilla Powder because of the dusty element but it is not scratchy. Please come to this fragrance with a new expectation. Overall, it’s my first blind buy and I am super pleased.
