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 😐

When i first sprayed this all i smelled was bug spray, but after a while it dried down to a generic sweet scent. Don’t hate it, but it’s nothing crazy.

A friend’s birthday gift. It’s a generic vanilla. It just wasn’t grabbing me and in fact came off a bit chemical-y.

I'm so bummed with this. the vanilla comes through pretty odd in my opinion, but not in a bad way. I'm just so lost on the black pepper note. its not spicy in the way I expected and it never dries down into a mellower vanilla spice like I had hoped. all i smell is pencil shavings for some reason and i just cant wear it :(

Tulip?! With vanilla & other warm notes? The additional of the floral just seems really odd to me and takes what could be a really nice profile to just... an odd place. Not a fan 😕🤷🏻♀️

at first i was like "okay it's a boring vanilla" and then it truly started to sicken me ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄

You know when you’re a kid it’s just stopped raining and you make a cold little mud pile and add flowers and twigs and stuff? Sprinkle a fistful of used coffee grounds, slosh some vanilla coffee creamer on top, and garnish that bad boy with some freshly cracked pepper and BOOM! Vanilla Era. My friend who loves this didn’t disagree, for the record- she just said it’s all of the aforementioned mudpie, but “like, in a really good, you know?” We have agreed to disagree. I highly recommend getting a chance to smell it on your own skin before committing to anything higher to a sample size

Opens with a sickeningly strong, earthy, funky vanilla. The pepper reads as white pepper to me, with a sourness to it. The ambergris and beet are giving ocean stank. I wound up scrubbing this one off because I couldn't tolerate smelling it.

if your vanilla perfume has floral notes you deserve jail time

An airy whipped cream. I honestly don't detect coffee at all. The beetroot is almost non-existent but it's there in the background, providing a tiny hint of earthiness. The drydown shifts between a mature vanilla and a more youthful one, but I would say this is a pretty common fragrance. You can find this on a million shelves, from a million perfumers.

I have the limited edition ✨️Vanilla Mace®️✨️ version, because i ❤️ her- which is exactly the same as the original. I wish it wasn't as earthy as it is. Just ok, nothing special

Reformulation was such a massive downgrade. Post reformulation it has a heavy pencil shaving smell and is more masculine than before. I gave mine away. 💔

Why does the candle of this smell SO heavenly and the fragrance so wrong 💔

I hate the new bottles and I hated the old bottles
