Vanilla Mudslide

I'm going to write about this fragrance more like I'm talking to myself than I am talking to anyone else. I'm starting to realize that I enjoy vanilla fragrances much more when they have two things: that they have a creaminess factor such as butter, milk, or some kind of almond butter etc. And then also if the composition is cut with some type of uplifting and transparent factor such as musk, AMBROXAN, IS OE Super etc. These two things allow me to wear very sweet fragrances without getting sick. And that is what is happening here. Yes I am aware there is vodka in here, but that is not a determining factor for me. Do I think this fragrance is number one in the vanilla category? Probably not. I'm really not the expert in vanilla. In general, I am a fragrance expert. I don't really get excited like other people do. Yes it is enjoyable, and I like it in compositions, but I don't like it as the main character. It becomes a little bit boring. What I want is a really strong concept first. A really strong and beautiful story, and then structure a fragrance around that. I don't want vanilla first and then the story second. The story behind this fragrance seems to be I like alcohol. That's it. And that's not enough for me. It's a good fragrance don't get me wrong. It smells very nice, but I personally think there are better based vanillas out there. But I'm also not upset this was at number one under the category. So it's really up to you. This is a fragrance where I highly recommend that you try yourself first since you can't really envision what it is based on the description itself. You can't place yourself before you smell it. That's pretty much it. Try it for yourself. If you are a fan of sweeter fragrances and you enjoy vanilla you will not be disappointed. If you are deep in your fragrance hobby and your demand is high for complex fragrances, this is where you might be disappointed. I am on the fence.

Pleasantly surprised! I'm pretty sure this is a new fragrance house. So far so good. It is sweet but not overly done. I've never had a mudslide, but I am assuming there is chocolate mixed into the drink? It's done very well. I personally can smell the vodka and it is done with a very deft hand. This may not be fair, but I judge fragrances sometimes by if they bring me back to a particular moment in my life or if they inspire my mind to think about something that brings me joy. Those are the fragrances that I have to have in my collection. Unfortunately I do not experience that here. Not yet anyway. To be fair, it's only been about 15 minutes. I also am not a drinker. I do not enjoy alcohol. I may in fact be allergic. I have never had a mudslide. That could very well be the reason why I cannot connect. I think it's very important that I say this because this fragrance could be fantastic for those of you who are familiar with this drink and have memories attached to it. It is very high quality in my opinion, so I do recommend you try this. Really nothing to complain about. This could the end up becoming a very cool brand! Finally a sweet fragrance I could get behind.

A great vanilla scent, something like a less sweet, darker take on Spiriteuse Double Vanille. Very very close to Van Py Rhum and its clone, X Xandal (you can explore the profile at every price point). It's deep, it has chocolate nuances, a boozy almondy undertone, it's nothing like a typical (more feminine) vanilla scent, it's not powdery or reminding of white baking vanilla, it's more of a very expensive vanilla bourbon extract. It's soft but at the same time rich. A three season unisex scent, more useful in the evening, ideal for dates or cozy settings as it doesn't scream projection-wise, but lasts more than 12 hours on skin and more than a day on clothes. Not too syrupy, without unnecessary sweetness, not drowned in molecular stuff, fairly linear, so it's also great for layering with something more gourmand or something more woody. The perfume guy is always right when he's raving about a perfume, whether it's in my tastes or not, it's always a good blend.

This fragrance is an absolute delight! From the first spray, you’re greeted with a sweet, musky warmth that feels both comforting and uplifting. The vanilla is rich and creamy without being cloying, perfectly balanced by a subtle musk that adds depth and sophistication. What really impressed me is the mood-lifting quality, it’s like a cozy hug in scent form, yet it carries an elegant edge that makes it versatile for day or night. The longevity is outstanding; it lingers beautifully on the skin and clothes, easily lasting all day without fading into the background. If you love sweet gourmand scents with a musky backbone and crave something that’s potent yet refined, Vanilla Mudslide is a must-try. It’s indulgent, comforting, and effortlessly chic.

This truly is a great vanilla scent. I was hesitant to try it due to the coffee note. I adore the smell of coffee brewing and of course I love the taste but have always found it troublesome the way it comes across in fragrances. Thankfully I don't pick up on it here. The opening is quite unique with butter in the top. I find myself wishing that would last a bit longer but I'm certainly not disappointed with the mid and base. As far as comparing it to other fragrances there is a quality faintly reminiscent of Angels Share, though I wouldn't go so far as to say they smell alike. There is a sort of spicy, boozy deep vanilla quality that they share. A vibe perfect for cozy fall and winter nights.

1/3 of the bottle is gone now so now safe to review. In my 200+ bottle collection this is in my top 5. Everything is so nicely balanced. Can not find anything negative smell vise. In terms of Performance, i can easily feel the scent buble around me for a good 4-5 hours. Once you think it’s gone, boom! Someone stops you to ask about it after 8 hours of applying. Than it should fade right? But no there is more... After god knows how many hours past since you applied, sweet slightly buttery vanilla still lingers so you can get whiffs. Anyways... 10.5/10

I have had this vanilla mudslide for couple months now Best vanilla out it smells nothing like angel share this has vodka not cognac very long lasting simply the bomb don't listen to these people on here saying it smells like angel share it's nothing like that it's is own thing this has some of the most photo realistic vodka note I have ever smelled blended with butter vanilla chocolate and everything else amazing scent get your self a decant or whole bottle you won't regret it..

This is a good gourmand vanilla with chocolate. The opening is masculine and I can smell the vodka but that doesn’t last very long. The dry down reminds me of Bianco Latte but with the cacao note mixed into this with a slight booziness. The dry down becomes more feminine and sweeter. Would work for both men and women. Very nice!

Reminds me of Spiritueuse Double Vanille, but has white booze instead of brown. A little dryer and holds back a bit on the sweetness compared to SDV. Delicious, cozy high end vanilla. Generous scent bubble and beast mode performance.

What a triumph of fragrance. It is just this rich, musky vanilla. The butter note is everything and I loved the coconut as well. I layered it with Velvet Tonka by BDK and omg. Delicious.

Great dirty vanilla fragrance. Not similar to SDV or van py rhum at all. The most similar thing to this I would say is the old version of vanille antique

If you are british it smells exactly like a mr kipling angel slice, which is a great smell and idk about you but i would love to smell like that.

A rich vanilla-butter splashed with vodka, next ashes of all things 10/10

I've been wearing this for last few days, but my bottle is fairly new, so not sure if the fragrance will change over time. I predominantly get vodka and then vanilla for the first three hours, then it morphs into a bianco latte type of smell with vodka in the background. In the deep dry, I get an overall impression of cocoa butter scent and no vodka. This is my most favourite part. I don't usually buy fragrances with alcohol notes, but I'm really enjoying Vanilla Mudslide. I like that it's non-linear and I'm learning to enjoy all facets of the fragrance. I don't think it's a challenging scent per se but I wouldn't blind buy it because of the vodka note.

I just received a decant of Mudslide from ZGO. The initial impression on paper is a photorealistic scent of the frozen concoction I had a few too many of down in Key West. It is gourmand but not overly sweet. It's got that Wendy's Frosty vibe, definitely lactonic, and the coffee liqueur is there in the background with the almond. I detect an alcohol scent, but it seems intentional, not cheap. Not sure yet of projection and longevity. I'll come back when I do a full skin test. Interesting brand, looking forward to wearing this and trying others in the BLNDR brand.

Throughout the life cycle of this scent I tried to find any special effects or notes and it was very hard to find It was vanilla pure and simple and it smells same as every other scent that you can try In the market The only difference that i discovered after a while is a dirty or dirt like smell in the end of the day like 6 hours in It wasn’t that significant or obvious I had to smell my clothes to make sure it was me Performance is very good Not something I’d pay the price for A mediocre experience

This was very nostalgic to me. I don't know why but I reminded me of my grandparents. Make no mistake this is no grandma fragrance 😂 so beautiful, great sweetness. Your typical vanilla fragrance but with a addicting kinda dark twist. Very complex you get that buttery, sweet almond note and a lil bit of that gourmand profile.. so good great job guys

The butter in the open is realistic though brief. The almond extract and fresh split vanilla bean are prominent. The coconut milk, cocoa, and coffee are there but faint whispers. The davina, musk and iso e super blend well with the prominent notes. Overall this may be the best almond scent i have ever tried.

It’s very potent! It starts with a deep, rich and bitter almond (aka dark cherry) note. I feel an overdose of coumarin in it, but it actually balanced with some other sweet and spicy notes, so smells nice, but still very into your face for my personal taste. Follow me on ig: scent.guide

it's lovely, but seems very weak on my skin for some reason. Edit: I went from being underwelmed to absolutely loving this perfume. I purchased a full bottle. Lesson leared to give it some time before making a judement call.
