Eilish

Ooooooh I think I know what Billie had on her mind when she made this... dessert... and sex. In that order. Because Billie is that boss. Tested it on skin and strip. Loved it, asked and received as a gift. The opening is fresh and aromatic, specifically licorice, not listed, which I love. Gives me Reb l Fleur by Rihanna vibes, but warmer. Also get a tiny bit of leather or suede. This all lasted for about 20min. Then the dry down. I love a surprise in scent and when Billie suddenly switches mid song. Linear scents are beautiful too but this just fits. The sweet, warm and yes cosy vanilla as others have said begins. But then, as I sniffed deeper into this scent, buried in it is this amorous... carnal note. The sweet notes sit on top but beneath there is something animalic and smoky. The caramel is not syrupy and drippy, it is dense and fudge like, like a soft caramel fudge you bite into that has the grittiness in the texture. Specifically Polish Krowki. But beyond that, deep down is that sex note. This is the opposite of a hollow scent, this runs vertically deep. The deeper you inhale, the sexier this is. Its projection is moderate, that cosy, nestled feeling. But longevity is 9 plus hours on skin, 16 plus hours on hair, on clothes is for days. Like the lingering afterthoughts of a night of... Perfect for winter during the day, or at night, in-front of a fireplace, with the lights off... This seems wholesome. But deep down is not. The song to describe this experience is Billie Bossa Nova. The album it’s on is all gold, warm toned as is obviously the bottle. I happen to love the bottle, it is like a structural art piece, an actual bust. Very clever. The weight, its heavy quality, and colour might be akin to a Grammy. But back to Billie Boss Nova. That song is this scent. Billie said she wanted to make a song that you could do a little on-the-spot dance to. Slow, swaying, warming, inviting. Sounds like a slow burn at first. Then it gets intimate, sexier. You start to be attune to the lyrics, you listen to the lyrics... just go NOW and listen to the lyrics!!! Phwoar.... So. First you’re getting yummy dessert THEN. SUDDENLY. You’re getting animalic sex. Then a Grammy. Billie you deserve a Grammy for this scent alone. You’ve earned your just desserts with Eilish indeed. 🤍🧡🤎🖤🍮🥐🔥🙊🤫🫦😋😎👏 Edit: 24 hours later I picked up my top and got a whiff of the most delicious baked good. I couldn’t think of what I’d eaten and gotten crumbed on my top then remembered I’d worn this and it smelled exactly like Krispy Kreme original glaze. Edit: Billie if you ever read this I hope you win the Grammys this year for Wildflower!! 🏆💙

Can't believe I waited so long to try this one! I feel robbed. :P There's a little spice, fruit and more complexity in the opening, but the dry down essentially smells like cocoa puffs topped with vanilla-flavored milk. The cocoa note is quite prominent, and I'm not mad about it at all. Eilish isn't deep or rich to my nose and leans on the lighter, airier side of gourmand without being weak. As far as dupes go, Maison Asrar's Soirée is considerably more sugary, floral, heavy and synthetic, and it's also missing the cocoa note that makes this fragrance so enjoyable IMO. Don't purchase it if you're looking for a 1:1 dupe or if Eilish is already borderline too sweet for your personal tastes. (I honestly find Soirée to be headache-inducing and need to get rid of my bottle.) Fine'ry's Sweet on the Outside is a simplified take on this DNA with a similar airy and sugary vanilla note. I enjoy it a lot and don't get any of the smokiness others seem to experience, but it's also far from being a 1:1 dupe. For those looking to layer, Method's Feeling Jazzed body wash is a solid choice, as is EOS Cocoa Cashmere! :)

It's vanilla! We use that term to describe things that are, you know, not particularly adventurous, and I think this fragrance is quite a safe one... but don't forget that vanilla was literally something wars would be fought for throughout history. It's nice!! I wouldn't kill for it, myself, but I live in the lap of luxury compared to all those knights sent out on the Quest for Beans. They didn't have fragrances in bottles shaped like a bust that makes it a little bit of a pain to apply! They only had, uh, like a sponge dipped in apple juice. They'd kill me for wearing this. And for having pink hair, I assume. You know how the king gets. Anyway this is the one on my shelf I reach for the most; it's just nice, it's versatile, and it's not £80 per spray of it. Plus Billie Eilish is pretty cool! I don't think she actually mixed this fragrance up, mind you. I'm not a fool. I'm sure she'd succeed in the Quest for Beans, and I'm sure she could put them in a big cauldron with some berries and musk and stir it all up with a big paddle. I just don't think she has that sort of time in her average week

I had expected something more musky, but this is heavily vanilla scented and quite sweet...however, I’m delighted with it! To describe this perfume as “nostalgic” is an understatement. It reminded me of Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar, Vanilla Frosting Lipsmackers, and after about 12 hours, Lucky Charms. It brought a variety of childhood and teenage scents back to me at once, and it made me smile. I think Billie herself described it as a warm embrace, and that feels strangely accurate. Like giving a younger version of me, wearing pony beads and body glitter, a big hug. But don’t get me wrong, it’s got substance and some staying power and notes that you won’t find in a body spray cloud before a school dance. It’s just interesting enough to please the adult in me without relinquishing any of its nostalgic glory. If you’re not into vanilla or are looking for something complex, this won’t be for you. But if you’re easily delighted by the nostalgia and don’t mind the price, you’ll love it.

second time of wearing a sample. this time I get cacao & sugar, spiced smooth vanilla on the back. this definitely smells very good, one thing that is stopping me from buying a 100ml bottle is that it is not addictive??. the whole fragrance feels "weak", longevity doesn't capture the good drydown cause it is so faint. on my first wear I was irritated by citrusy notes - I don't get that this time. also I loved the creaminess of vanilla - now it's not the main reason I like it. I get cocoa. Just a mug of a very hot delicious cocoa. probably going to overspray next time. going to wear this again, I'm so hopeless in my want to own this, it is probably one of the best vanillas I've ever tried, I want this. but I understand I'm not obsessed enough lol. 10ml sounds like a good compromise, waiting for the Autumn!
