Vanille Nue

This is a nice vanilla, not gourmand more on the sexier than edible side. I get vanilla, rum, some almonds and heliotrope, quite boozy on me yet not too sweet. Definitely an evening/night time vanilla. In the dry down, you get less of the booze and more of the warmth from the benzoin, more sweetness from the vanilla and a touch of musk. Quite nice 7/10

A sophisticated, grown up vanilla that will take you from office to evening. It’s boozier and earthier than Kayali’s Vanilla 28 but doesn’t have the sillage or longevity. Fades quite quickly to a gentle skin scent but for the price, offers a great value vanilla fragrance for gourmand lovers looking for something not so sickly sweet.

First spray you immediately get hit with almond and rum, as per the description. Its quite boozy and hits you hard!!! As it settles I would say the booziness and almond scent melt into each other and a few hours later you will be left with a warm sweet vanilla scent. This lasts so long, probably around 12 hours and even more on clothes. Its a great mature fragrance but I prefer more juvenile, gourmand scents so I will continue looking for my favourite vanilla scent.

A sweet vanilla that is not overwhelming. You can smell the rum and the almond. According to the description, it is a grown up, expensive smelling one, a 'modern take on vanilla'. For the price point, it's excellent quality. However, if you're not a vanilla lover, this is not the gateway to start appreciating it. I own it and use it when it is cold outside.

Very strong, very young, and so sweet it was a scrub for me. I am very picky about vanilla though, so if you like yours candy sweet, this is a genuinely fantastic price point and would well be worth a go.
