Whipped Rose & Vanilla

Ok so this is a delicate sweet rose scent. On the opening after the alcohol dries down you get this candied rose which is sweet, modern, feminine and soft. It's not a fresh cut rose or rose water. It's a jammy rose which is followed up quickly by the warm whipped frothy foam. In the dry down the candied rose becomes the heart of the fragrance and it is beautifully wrapped by the whipped fluffy foam. The cocoa flower here smells like a creamy white chocolate which adds more to the sweet aspect. Like imagine sitting in a coffee shop sipping on a cup of warm foamy hot coffee while a bouquet of pink roses is lying next to you. I must add this as well without scaring anyone, idk after 5/6 hours this scent turns weirdly musky on my skin like almost salty. Still a beautiful scent to invest your money in though 🌹 This can be worn all year around, at any time be it doing casual chores or romantic dates, at any season be it spring, monsoon or winter. However i do think this will work its magic when the weather is a bit cold and you want to be all cozied up in your home. Projection is noticeable and longevity is fairly moderate. Stays onto my skin for 6/7 hours and then turns into a salty musky skin scent. Fyi the vanilla name here is misleading, there is no vanilla in here. Fortunately i had the opportunity to own whipped rose latte and whipped rose and vanilla is a repackage of it as we all know. So i will do a short comparison real quick. They still smell pretty much the same. Whipped rose latte was intense with notes while whipped rose and vanilla is a bit mellow. Whipped rose latte was more whipped foam heavy but whipped rose and vanilla leans a bit more on the rose side + softer projection and longevity.

A compliment magnet for me and one of very few fragrances my husband enthusiastically approves of. He likes sweet scents on women and his favorites are VS Tease and YSL black opium both of which are fragrances I wore when I met him 10 years ago but can no longer stand on myself. Very happy to find a scent that's not only cheap, but that I feel comfortable in and that he also loves. I can def see the comparison to Mancera but this is much lighter on the rose and lighter in general, but still has excellent performance when layered with the cream. My description: opening is a fresh realistic rose petal that fades quickly to a mocha latte foam with a rose water kind of touch. His description, unsolicited, when I passed by him to do laundry: "You smell AMAZING! It's like chocolate or vanilla, idfk but tell me what it is and I'll buy ya more of it!"

IMO this is **not** a repackage of previous BBW releases Whipped Rose Latte or Aromatherapy Rose. To me, WRL is a powdery, creamy-coffee-cocoa with light rose - and AR smells like rose essential oil. Instead, Whipped Rose & Vanilla is a gorgeous, sweet, candy-like rose with a dusting of powdered sugar. It’s almost like biting into a slice of rose-flavored Turkish delight (the jelly candy cubes dusted with powdered sugar). Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Some recently-released BBW mists haven’t lasted long for me, but this one seems to last forever. I actually love it more than any other designer rose vanilla perfumes I’ve tried (even Jo Malone, Mancera, Penhaligon’s, etc.) - enough to buy several backups!

Can someone recommend a perfume that smells nearly identical to this? I'm in love but I want a perfume form, and this is discontinued. This is perfection to me. I see the recommendations but I know that those aren't always accurate. The rose is jammy, and the cocoa flower is very prominent. The whipped foam levels everything out. It smells like coffee, but only the slightest bit. Not that detectable but it makes all of the notes make sense. I love every single thing about this breathtaking scent. It's classy but seductive, and just on the edge of gourmand. A slightly sweet, cozy flourmand.

This fragrance is a love letter to rose lovers. Modern and classic at the same time. It's clean, light, fresh, airy, and a little sweet. It could never be cloying; the rose is not heady enough and the vanilla is not syrupy enough. This is a fragrance that could be worn by someone of any age. It would be appropriate for most occasions year-round. It could be dressed up or worn casually. I do think this is a more stereotypically "feminine" fragrance because of the slight sweetness, but it's so fresh and airy that I think anyone who enjoys rose could get away with this.
