Vanilla Era (2025)

I blind bought this one with Vanilla Mace’s collab, and upon reading the reviews, I was a little nervous about how it was going to smell on me. HOWEVER, upon my first spritz, my jaw literally dropped. I am absolutely in LOVE with this smell. It’s such a fun version of vanilla, as it’s not overly sweet, just the perfect amount. I don’t get a TON of floral either, and I initially thought the pink pepper note would give it a pepper spray sort of smell, but I was entirely wrong. It’s not overly spicy either. It’s a very fun perfume for people who want to go out and HAVE fun while smelling fun. Every nose is different, so don’t be afraid of this one. I feel I’m overly critical with my perfumes, but I’ve found myself wearing this every day since I’ve got it. Take a chance!

This smells very similar to the original for me but the dry down has a tad more vanilla sweetness the balances out the iso e super well. I was worried that it would be lacking in that woody note but it’s all there. Really well done in my opinion.

Finally got to smell the new Vanilla Era. This smells like the OG with a hinttt of coffee. It's just enough coffee to notice it but not enough to change the overall smell. I guess I'm happy with that, I don't think I'd go for this reformulation though once/if I ever finish my OG V.E. I think I'll try out Unmute by NOYZ first. I can only speak to the smell of this, not the quality of the formula

Purchased the Vanilla Mace version! Smells just OK off the bat, fairly one note. But after wearing for a little while I'm pleasantly surprised by the dry down. It works well with my skin, and dried to a lovely vanilla base with a nice peppery floral top note.

a dumbed down version of the original formulation 😐
