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.

What a wonderful vanilla! Not too sweet, but still delicious, it has a dry, slightly smoky feel to it. I would say it has a chalky character to it. It's definitely very vanilla and quite different to the many vanillas I have in my collection. A blind buy and I don't regret it at all. Very happy. **Edit** - I've had this for a couple of weeks now and the scent appears to have deepened and it has more longevity now. I'm making a serious dent in it!

I was worried this would lean too ambery, but it’s actually a fluffy, soft vanilla that feels comforting and calm. It reminds me of warm beach sand if it smelled like vanilla. The sweetness is mild but it fits the fragrance perfectly. Beautiful, smooth, and no scary mineral or salty notes getting in the way of the vanilla itself.

This was an IMMEDIATE love for me on the skin. So much so I told my husband that was what I wanted for Valentine's day! It is stunning on my skin. A true delectable and luxurious Vanilla. It is NOTHING like either Vanilla powder ( I own both of them) . This is in a league of its own. I will forever want this in my collection.

Trying to understand the lack of love this gets! Such a beautiful vanilla. It is reminiscent of Vanilla Powder- trying to decide if I need both in my collection. This one has mineral/salty quality that VP lacks but that seems to be lost in the dry down. Wish the mimosa was stronger. Love it tho!

This is what the public expected from vanilla powder. Masterpiece. The only thing I liked about vanilla powder was its drydown, which is extremely similar to novae vanilla’s drydown. My new favorite fragrance.

A bit dry, metallic, and dusty at first spray, but dries down to the most beautiful, fluffy vanilla. Warm and comforting. Reminds me of Lune Feline, without the cardamom. Lasts all day.

To me it starts like a freshly cooked buckwheat. With milk and honey. Later it dries down and grows up a bit - to a bourbon vanilla, musk with mineral notes.

Stunning fragrance. To my nose similar vibe with Vanille Antique by Byredo but NV is less woody, more round. Long lasting with attractive trail. Love ❤️

The fact this is a 3.5 baffles me. What the heck yall this stuff is good

Either my nose is broken or the noses of some people here because I am a huge vanilla lover and this scent has nothing to do with Vanilla Powder, Bianco Latte (it is not coconuty, it is not gourmand at all). It even has very little to do with woody vanillas like Eau Duelle and Silky Woods where we have a more balsamic and floral feel throughout. It is not as airy as Vanilla Skin, nor as boozy as SDV, nor as spicy as Babycat, nor green as Angelique Noir. After all that, I want to say it has a very interesting mimosa and vanilla opening. A lot of vanilla but not in a strong and off putting way but in a kind of a gold, subdued, vanilla bean elegant way. Then it had a moment I was a bit nose blind to it due to my allergies but 8 hours later I get a grounded wood with a tad of sweetness. It is a woody vanilla but the journey to this stage is very nice. The metallic note was somewhere in the middle and not too prominent on my skin. I like the perfume and don’t get the hate. Edit: After owning a full bottle and being able to wear it more I get a very strange association with Novae Vanilla from ADO. NV is a bit pungent while this one is smokier and woodier but I definitely find similarities!

The bottle for Atelier Novea Vanilla is absolutely stunning — a true display piece. The color of the fragrance itself is rich and inviting, and the delicate gold flecks ✨ give it a magical, luxurious touch. On first spray, I immediately notice a mineral facet that feels clean and modern. As it develops, the scent transitions beautifully — first a mineral vanilla, then a soft mimosa vanilla, and finally settling into a warm, woody vanilla that lingers gracefully on the skin. It’s been almost 12 hours since I applied it, and I can still smell it clearly. Novea Vanilla is not just beautiful, it’s a true long-lasting fragrance that evolves elegantly throughout the day. The vanilla in this fragrance isn’t overly sweet. It has a light, airy quality.

If you don't love vanilla fragrances, this one will convert you. If you thought vanilla fragrances are too heavy for summer, this one will change your mind. If you thought vanilla fragrances are always too sweet, this one will prove you wrong. This one = Novae Vanilla. It is airy yet creamy, luminous, warm, intimate, and addictive. I can’t stop sniffing my wrist! Wish the longevity was a bit better though - after 3 hours, I can barely smell it. However, a friend told me to let it macerate for a couple of months to improve longevity so that’s what I’m going to try.

I was too quick to judge this scent. When I first tested it, like many others, I found the Ambroxan too overpowering. I did really enjoy the scent bubble though. From arms length this gave the most gorgeous, warm and comforting, deep amber vanilla scent. I commented that it was a scent I’d enjoy smelling on others. Fast forward to now and I’m still thinking of this scent. I’ve retested it and now want a bottle. I can still smell the ambroxan, but instead of feeling choked by it I’m actually finding it quite addictive. Now I want a full bottle.

It’s quite lovely: very dry and balsamic vanilla with a dark woody base. It’s not too sweet and on my skin it feels a bit animalic and somewhat herbaceous (think medicinal herbs and balms). I can almost feel some saltiness similar to what you can find in ambergris based fragrances. UPD: the dry down is quite synthetic tho... lots of amberwood.. My ig: scent.guide

The vanilla in this is gorgeous, so natural smelling and fluffy. But the amberwood makes it unbearable for me. I could smell the mimosa only on paper, on my skin there is only vanilla and amberwood, and it becomes synthetic.
