Vanille Extreme Eau de Toilette

Oh, my God! This is my most successful blind buy to date! It is a straight-up LOVE - the loveliest love! Wow, just wow! I keep smelling my wrists and I simply can't believe how good this is. The creator behind this, Jacques Lions, is a genius! You know that feeling when you buy a perfume solely because the notes sound good, it arrives and you test it, praying it is not a failure? Well, there is nothing more satisfying than crushing that feeling to the ground. When I first sprayed this, I was hit by the truest, creamiest, milkiest, butteriest vanilla I've ever had the chance of smelling! I went "Mmmmm, this is so good" immediately. Vanille Extreme smells like all good vanilla things: cupcakes, frosting, ice cream - all infused with the richest vanilla extract on the market. It is a straight-up gourmand - my skin and my clothes smell completely edible, how crazy is that?! And it only gets better with time - it evolves into a profound vanilla, that brings me back to an uncertain, but happy place in my childhood, and gives me tears of nostalgia for something I never realised I lost - maybe my playful naivity or maybe the vanilla pudding my mom used to make, the one that I never get quite right when I try to do it myself. It also awakens a deep wanderlust in me, making me long for riding in a car with my lover, in the middle of a summer night, the mountain on one side and the sea on the other. Very few perfumes manage to evoke so much emotion in me, but this one - in all its beautiful simplicity - managed to do it like no other. I am so taken aback by its beauty. And if my love for it wasn't enough, get this: as soon as I sprayed it and went out with some old friends, one of the guys said: "What are you wearing? It is so, so good, I noticed it as soon as you walked in. I need to know the name of it, so I could buy this for my future girlfriend". After that, he tested it on his skin out of curiosity, but wasn't as impressed, saying that it smells more like car refreshener on him and that it smells better on me. One or the girls in the group also said, after smelling the cap of the perfume: "This is so intense and sweet!". No idea how long this lasts, as it's only been a few hours since I sprayed it. Now please excuse me while I go to sleep in vanilla heaven!

I absolutely live for gourmand, vanilla-based fragrances and this is one of my top 2 favourites out of ALL the fragrances I've EVER sampled! It goes on as a gorgeously creamy, sweet, rich, deep, vanilla ice cream dream (the initial blast definitely has a very elegant "cold vanilla" element to it; hence the ice cream comparison) but it slowly warms up and becomes a softer, warmer, creamier, dreamy, gourmand vanilla that reminds me of a sweet and vanilla-heavy baked delight with vanilla cream on top. I could easily wear this alone but it layers SO beautifully and perfectly with almost every single other fragrance that I own; the purity of the vanilla makes it the most perfectly seamless complementary fragrance I have ever experienced. This is a chilly, yummylicious gourmand vanilla fragrance where the vanilla truly shines as a stand-alone AND layered. It is DEFINITELY full bottle worthy and, due to the fact that I love it so much, I will always buy this in the largest size possible! I will never NOT possess Vanille Extreme by CSP in my collection (I just bought a 2nd one because my current one is only one-sixth full and I never want to be without it!) The "chilly" element of it makes it perfect for every season, day or night; I recommend this fragrance highly on every level! (NOTE: I get ZERO play-doh or "plastic-ish" elements from this as other reviewers have said elsewhere; however, what I DO get when I wear this... is compliments!)

This is bananas...it smells exactly like "Montale - Vanille Absolu" and "Vanilla Cake" mixed. Only difference is the cost...lol. That being said...it is DEFINITELY a good alternative to buying two $70-$80 Montale fragrances. Half the price for the two fragrances combined into a 100ml bottle. Not bad...not bad at all!! There is also something very....artificial...about the milky-vanilla tone of this frag. It reminds me of my "ELDO - Ghost in the Shell" frag that has a very plastic and mathematically calculated version of a milkiness to it. Wholly robotic and artificial...though, to me that is the essence of "Cyberpunk" and is absolutely wonderful. For me, this is the perfect vanilla for daily operations in my profession. Not necessarily inviting or warm, but still appearing attractive and smooth. Like a beautiful full-figured mannequin... UPDATE: Okay, I have to give this fragrance its due respect. It doesn't just disappear like most vanilla fragrances...which is surprising. Most "Vanilla" fragrances last as long as a high-school virgin, even the expensive ones. To encounter a vanilla fragrance priced at this point that lasts longer than 4 hours is remarkable. I am wearing it full-body with spritzes of "Mancera-Instant Crush" on pulse points and I can clearly pick-up the "CSP-VE" under the "M-IC". Definitely picking up the 100ml next!!

When I first got this I was like “WOW”. It definitely took me by surprise because it smelled like straight up vanilla flavoured yoghurt to me. Like the milk note was slightly sour smelling to my nose and I was a bit unsure of it at first but now I LOVE it . It is so freaking delicious and smells like ice cream. It is INCREDIBLY sweet but it never sickly and somehow manages to stay light and airy. The sugar in here is not a caramelised sugar or a dense sugar. Its that pure white granulated/cotton candy sugar and this is what i am assuming is reading as synthetic to some people. You have to like EXTREMELY sweet scents to like this. It is slightly synthetic but not in a bothersome way like for example “Girl of Now”. On initial spray it is heavy on the lactones but once settled on the skin it smells similar to Outremer Vanille but I much prefer this as it is slightly more complex. Longevity is moderate and once settled stays close to the skin. This can be increased by overspraying of-course 🤣. I especially love this scent for layering. It adds a milky creamy vanillic twist to every perfume you add it to and my favourite scents to pair it with are Z&V This is her and D&G Pour Femme.

I wasn't sure how strong of a vanilla this was going to be until I warmed to my body chemistry. Everyone is different, so on me it first smelled like warm oatmeal and brown sugar. It was a hot summer day when I first tried it on and I went out for a night walk. About a half hour later, I started to smell more like a vanilla flower showered in sugary milk, and just about everyone who walked by me complimented me on the perfume. In fact most people kept asking: "What is that delicious smell?" I didn't tell everyone it could be my perfume. I have to be careful whenever I wear this because it does attract attention. I find that it's not the kind of vanilla scent that smells synthetic like many vanillas do. This is the real deal. Most compliments I get are from men. It's a foody, yet floral, milky, yummy, summery perfume. I recommend, but use sparingly. All you need is a little bit. I also use Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla hair care -- paired with this vanilla scent, I'm like a delicious bon bon where ever I go -- a combination like this will also leave a scent trail all over your clothes. Not too harsh vanilla, just that comfortable vanilla.

Ultra Gourmand hits the nail on the head for this fragrance! Yes, vanilla, caramel, milk, almond, cake batter- delicious! worlds better than warm vanilla sugar in my book and much more fragrant than a candle. i love gourmand fragrances and this one is amazing in light lasting power, initial intensity and all around yumminess! Well priced, too- the cheapest vanilla i have ever adored and one of the best comfort scents I have ever found in any price ranges. Right after you spray it, it smells a lot like frosting and white cake and has horribly addictive top notes. When it dries down, it is more of a vanilla skin scent, subtle and creamy, no frosting, no cake, just a light vanilla/almond. At around $50 a bottle (or less on amazon/ebay) i can afford to spray all day and I assure you i take complete advantage of that. :) happy hunting! Also on the comments on the edp being less powerful and yummy than the edt are completely true, although the vanilla extreme edp has a subtle scent with lasting power. First time I have found an edt more fragrant than an edp- but the rumors are true, EDT is stronger than EDP.

Vanille Extreme EDT is fast becoming one of my favorite vanillas. Seeing as my only previous with CSP was Vanille Abricot, which I absolutely did not care for, I was a little nervous to take a chance on Vanille Extreme, but now am SO glad I did. It was the sickly sweet synthetic fruity part of the VA that made my stomach turn, not the vanilla itself I see now. VE is very likeable cause it doesn't have that weird fruit note, just pure unadulterated vanilla! Yum! The initial blast is pure heaven! The best vanilla I have ever smelled to be honest. Then it quickly passes that stage and something a bit medicinal and not that pleasant takes over, but thankfully that stage doesn't last long either and the drydown is a very decent milky vanilla. Not quite as good as those gorgeous top notes, but still a really nice vanilla ice cream type of smell. I had almost turned my back on CSP cause of my first impressions via VA, but VE has made me change my mind. Now I'm curious to try more of their line. Vanille Coco, I'm coming for you!

This amazing scent smells like; hot cotton candy, tahitian vanilla ice cream, sweet almonds, "marzipan", sugary steaming latte with whipped cream and melted marshmallows ! <3 A Great scent, no matter what weather or season it is. Gourmand all the way. Vanille Extreme has an amazing sillage and longevity considering it's from Comptoir's Vanilla line and since it's only an EdT. The EdP version lasts longer but it's not as creamy and warm. It's more musky and some how oceanic maybe. Some of the notes in it are different. It's simpler vanilla and almost one note and makes it have less sillage than this edT. But perfect scent to layer with other CSP scents! Vanille Abricot+Extreme edP is just amazing!!! Compliments with this scent are guaranteeed. People have told me I smell like vanilla but also some have said I smell like sweet almonds, when I've worn this... PS. People compare Extreme with (L'aromarine's) Outremer's Vanille, but I think it's way more like Vanille Abricot! More sugar. Extreme is creamy vanilla heaven!

My skin plays VERY nicely with vanillic and lactonic fragrances, so please take this into account. This is the second of three CSP samples purchased directly from their site. Fresh this smells like sugared vanilla and yogurt – reminiscent of vanilla fro-yo. Five minutes in the yogurt smell was gone, and it was sugared vanilla and warmed condensed milk, with a hint of scented-doll fragrance. At 30 minutes I smell sugared warm milk with vanilla, and a hint of something green/floral... I'm guessing that's the heliotrope. The scented-doll fragrance is still there, but extremely faint. After an hour it smells the same, and had not changed after two hours. This was a skin-scent from about 4 hours until bedtime; lasting 14+ hours. I could not stop sniffing this one. It's too pricey for everyday, but I would happily splurge on this with birthday money! It is SO sweet, the sweetest fragrance I've tried to date, but the milky notes make it warm and comforting – like a big, sugar-coated hug!

I have been on a vanilla kick lately, trying to find some really good vanillas for my collection, and I happened to stumble across a couple of reviewers saying how much Vanille Extreme smelled like vanilla ice cream. I took a chance and blind bought a bottle. I was a little worried about the milk notes (milk notes have been known to smell sour on me in the past with another perfume) and also reading here that some people get a playdoh kind of smell, which I am also not a fan of (looking at you, Dior Hypnotic Poison). I REALLY risked it with this one, but I am happy to report that this is one of the most beautiful and yummy vanilla perfumes I have ever smelled! It IS vanilla ice cream! YAS! I wear it after my shower and to bed as it sits closer to the skin on me (I wish it was a little stronger, like my beloved Kyse Bonbons a la Vanille) and it makes a good sleep scent because it's very comforting. I can see myself getting the big bottle when I am done with this 30ml for sure!

If ever there was a company that couldn't afford to reformulate its fragrances, it's CSP. Alas, Vanille Extreme, once a seriously creamy delightful gourmand beauty, has been reformulated, and now smells like nothing. I purchased this and Vanille Abricot at the same time, and actually threw my new bottles in the TRASH because I was told that they weren't returnable since I had opened them (Thanks a bunch, C.O. Bigelow!). At the store, they were using the original versions as testers, but were selling the new reformulated ones! what an infuriating waste of money. When I got home and tried the new version of this fragrance I couldn't believe how awful it was. It was so weak and nondescript, it was insulting. Really just like mildly sweet water with no discernible qualities to speak of. It wasn't even good enough to swap. I would rather wear Body Fantasies Vanilla than this garbage. Heartbroken.

This is why I love perfumes... i feel like i hit the lottery upon smelling this one :) this scent marks the end of my search for a long-lost vanilla that i used to own (that was discontinued) in the 1990's. the past decade for me has been peppered with one disappointing vanilla after another, none even comparing to my long-lost vanilla (lavanila to me was just not in the same ballpark, in regards to my search). though some were nice (vs vanilla lace), i was still left in utter disappointment, with many containing weird synthetic notes at dry-down (imo). this scent is soooooo creamy delicious, it's intoxicating! what goes on in my head while sniffing this one is, "my baby, my sweet, SWEET, precious vanilla baby" lol! so glad to have this (i want to say "have this one back" it is that close to my old fav)... it really makes my decade!

I love this fragrance, it’s a very simple vanilla that’s easy to make your own layering combos with. Vanilla in a very extract way without feeling sticky. Almost a similar summery vanilla that is often blended with coconut but with no coconut lol. A true lactonic scent that, at least for me, doesn’t go sour. I needed to also come here to say this smells identical to PEEPIN’ IT REAL! Additionally Vanilla Cake by Sand + Fog, another good dupe/ similar scent profile altogether is Vanilla Sky by Mystic Perfumes!! Sort of redundant but to me are all pretty similar lactonic bakery-esque vanillas without a spice or “baked” scent profile. and i’d say if you like any of these, you may like another for reference. Longevity is terrible! I’d recommend the others for better performance, (minus PEEPIN IT REAL).

This perfume to smells like a creamy, milky, vanilla sort of lotion. In particular I think of a less sugary version of sugar wafer by Tutti Dolci. The vanilla is definitely creamy, slightly buttery even, it's not super sweet, but it's not like it's unsweetened either. Vanille Extreme EDT catches me a lot of compliments, praticularly guys. I think a perfume like this meshes well with my chemistry because in a way it kind of reminds me of creamy, sweet skin. The perfume is light and I spray it around my shoulders and neck to create a halo of scent, I wear 5 sprays. The fragrance lasts about 5-6 hours before I reapply sometime after lunch.

I adore this stuff. Sweet, milky-sugary, bit sharp plastic-y vanilla. To me it's very comforting and delectable. I'd say it's more of a sugary vanilla than a warm foody one, if that description makes any sense to anyone else. A friend of mine gushed over it when she smelled it on me, she pointed out (very correctly in my opinion) how it smells exactly like the Cupcake Dolls of our childhood. Sweet, soft, sugary and bit plastic (which might be the milk accord, I guess). I'm a big fan of vanilla/heliotope/tonka bean scents as well as gourmand ones, I guess if those and any sweet CSP scents are your thing you might appreciate this one too.

this might be one of my signature perfume. it was blind buy and I was afraid of heliotrope notes cuz I just cannot have flower note in perfume (apart from Rose or lavender) rest of flower notes such as white flowers and etc. I cannot stand it. this is everything that its says; its vanilla, creamy, lactonic, sweet... nothing complex but so warm. luckily the heliotrope stays only in the beginning and very close to your skin (I think it only supports the vanilla) and once perfumes settles down, there is absolutely no track of it. I might re-purchase the bottle. I was lucky to catch a sale 30 ml for 35 eur :) so totally worth it

This blew me away! It’s usually a “you get what you pay for” situation with CSP in my experience (especially with amour de cacao, which I love for the scent AND hate for its performance). This one performs a bit differently, for whatever reason. It has that unique scent quality that CSP is known for producing, but with somewhat better lasting power. It’s an edible-type of vanilla with something *extra* to it, which most perfumers don’t get right, but it’s lovely here. The extra in this case is the heliotrope/milk combo, which I personally like, but I believe it’s highly subjective to preference. It’s a keeper!

The newest version of this (glass bottle with blue sticker label) smells exactly like yellow cake mix, complete with frosting in a canister. Or more specifically yellow confetti cake, with super sugary vanilla confetti sprinkle store-bought frosting. A little salty and buttery too. This is such a profoundly sweet creamy powdery vanilla scent, I feel like I died and woke up at a five year old girl's princess themed birthday party. This is definitely not safe for any environment where you want people to take you seriously. It's super playful and STRONG. Confetti Cake Cannon!

EXTREME foody vanilla! It’s gorgeous but very young and juvenile in a good way. Starts off super sweet, like cupcake batter, yolky and milky. I get Play Doh, sprinkles, birthday cake, vanilla iced coffee, confetti, frosting, buttercream, simmering milk, bubblegum, whipped cream. I have tried a lot of vanillas and this is very, very vanilla. It is playful, sweet and warm, spicy, innocently sensual, and comforting. It makes me laugh! What a fun light hearted fragrance! Not as sweet as Pink Sugar though, but it is so fun. If you’re having a bad day, wear Vanille Extreme.

Vanille Extreme EDT is delicious...pure and simple. To sum it up, this is like wearing vanilla cake batter. If you don't like foody scents, you might want to run the other direction. I think that goes without saying for almost every CSP scent, however. This is creamy, caramelized, sweet, milky, and rich. Having said that, it never gets to the point of being cloying, or of smelling like plain old sugar. It retains its thick richness for many hours on my skin. Once it gets into the drydown, it becomes slightly spicy and earthy in a lovely way. A very well-done gourmand.
