Vanille Cannelle

I ́ve sampled 3 different Comptoir Sud Pacific fragarances and this is the one I like best. As takemyhusbandplz writes the first spray is like breathing sweet cinnamon... When it settles it become a dry, powdery and very pleasant gourmand. Not to sweet, and not at all cloying or overwhelming. Very comforting, soft and at the same time there is something sparkling going on in it. After a while it smells like powdered vanilla sugar with soft cinnamon and some very tender spices in it. If you like gourmands I think you sholud give this a try, not that refined, but an overall nice and pretty fragrance. Not that longlasting, but fair enough... about 3-4 hours at least.

Lovers of cinnamon spiced vanilla come forward, this wonderful blend created by the mastery of Comptoir Sud Pacifique, despite being a sophisticated gourmand does not give the slightest reference to confiserie and pâtisserie, but creates a harmonious, warm and refined accord between vanilla and cinnamon that it brings back more to the hints of the French colonial markets described in the novels of the past. I love these exotic chords, not cloying and banal as these two noble and precious elements are usually badly managed. Sillage is good, the duration in time leaves considerable space for cinnamon.

OK, I am getting a little desperate... I am on my last bottle of this and am looking for more (even if all you have is, like, part of a bottle, or a sample, or whatever)... please message me if you'd like to help me out (not sure if this is the forum to do this in, I'm brand-new!). Anyway, that being said, I LOVE this fragrance. It is very warm, sweet and sexy. You can still smell warm cinnamon in the dry-down, as well as the signature Comptoir vanilla note. It makes me very sad that this was discontinued and I really hope they bring it back one day!

I absolutely LOVE this as I'm a true gourmand fan! Pure cinnamon, vanilla and people often say they get a little incense from it. Definitely gets noticed - for the right reasons. I've had strangers ask me what it is in the street! It is perhaps a little masculine for some women, but hey I'm a short-haired but make-up wearing lesbian, so this shows off both sides of me! Women and men seem to love it on me. Why they discontinued it I'll never know...I need more of my addiction!!

Mmm! This is so sweet and warm. The cinnamon and vanilla are definitely prominent, as others have mentioned. When I wear this I get the same feeling as when I'm making s'mores around a campfire. Perfect for fall!
