Black Flower Mexican Vanilla

Woof xJessax I just read all of your reviews and thank you for posting them here. Like you, I really love Mexican Vanilla but I reserve it for when I want something special. Because of your review, I would have worn it today if I had not picked another. And now I want to .... Isn't Queen just great? Nobody even notices it and its $10 and one of the best fragrances ever made. It amazes me that things slip through the cracks with people running to buy Creed this or Tom Ford that and there are just better fragrances out there that you can buy with a tenner and still get some change. Jeffrey Dame is such a gentleman and this might be his best creation. I would not argue that it is not. I am still in love with Mate Helitrope Patchouli and I see that you have it on your love list as well and I hope to see you review it someday. I probably shouldn't be talking about Mexican Vanilla until I get my bottle down to 50% and have used it a bit more and have a better feel for it but I know that I love it. And it staggers me that it is such a screaming buy at $65 when so much niche runs over a $100, $200, or more. Guerlain Spiriteuse Double Vanille is running $260 these days plus shipping and tax. Is there anybody that thinks its more interesting, outperforms, or smells better than Black Flower Mexican Vanille? Really ??? There are wallet empty type fragrance reviews where people rate these guys higher based on price spent. Side by Side, For performance and smell, I think Dame would win. I guess the Guerlain bottles look fancy. I cannot tell you how much I like the Artwork on the Dame bottles. Just as Queen is probably the best Cognac fragrance ever produced even when you consider that Tom Ford has some of them and Encounter is very good. I think Queen could beat a Tom Ford fragrance or two and your review of it was spot on. I have a few Dame fragrances and notice that you have a large want list. You have great taste and if you would ever like to swap a decant and maybe try out another Dame then pm me and let me know. I do not like swaps but I would for you because I can tell you really work to choose your scents well. Black Flower Mexican Vanilla is just great. I almost dont even want to review it and keep it my little secret but eventually its going to be "discovered" because of voices like yours. Good Review Woof

I love vanilla! Unfortunately i can't wear it much down here in florida. :( This fragrance is a very dense and robust vanilla/caramel gourmand. It is a dry version not like vanilla ice cream or vanilla extracts Kinda like vanilla powder sprinkled on carmel. I would love to smell this on a lady in the right setting. Probably an evening out on the town and sharing a loving embrace after the nights festivities are drawing close to an end. The moment i was close enough to be blessed with holding her near me. Then smelling this on her would totally drive my senses crazy! Sexiness in a bottle! Just being honest here. It does dry down to a musky vanilla with the caramel holding on with something extra hiding in the background. Not sure of that extra note. But it's pleasant. The perfume is tenacious and lasts for hours probably pushing 12. If you like a drier vanillic gourmand that lasts perhaps check this out. ** anyone can wear this. I just wanted to share my vision this scent conjured in my minds eye. Kind regards, Lj

A very beautiful vanilla fragrance that while clearly unisex as a man I would not want to wear... That being said this fragrance smells INCREDIBLE on my wife... She says it smells of Autumn and Halloween and I agree wholeheartedly... It starts off very unique to my nose as a spicy dry vanilla with a LOT of nutmeg... As time goes on the nutmeg slowly drops down and a more creamy caramel/vanilla like scent emerges which is both beautiful and extremely sexy on a woman... Longevity is over the 12+ hour mark though after the first few hours it gets very close to the skin BUT with a scent like this I want to be the only person to smell it when I nuzzle her neck... Like all of the fragrances in this line that I have sampled the ingredients are clearly topnotch... My wife and I already have multiple 'vanilla' fragrances including Guerlain's SDV but as this fragrance is very different then the others in our collection I can see her having a full bottle of this in the future... Great job Jeffrey Dame on this one... 8/10

This is really, really good! Black Flower Mexican Vanilla smells like a rich and delightfully not-sweet vanilla, dancing nicely with citrus, florals, and spices. The drydown is a wonderfully long lasting, comfy blanket of scrumptious vanilla, floral and spice. I have tried both the perfume oil and the edp spray, and found that for me the edp spray has the greater sillage and longevity. I will use them together, year round but more so in cooler weather, when the perfume oil will provide a welcome extra boost of moisture retention. Definitely a favorite! Spring update: Warmer weather brings the florals more forward for me, and the overall effect is gorgeous. I'm even more enchanted with this fragrance in Spring and Summer. Today I'm wearing it layered over the Dame New Musk perfume oil, a delightful combination with the soft lemony musk. This is such a comforting fragrance! It feels like a hug from a good friend.

Mmmm, this is just. so. good. I am loving Black Flower Mexican Vanilla! It was really love at first sniff, but I've worn it 3 different times now, just to make sure. The notes that stand out the most to me are nutmeg, caramel, vanilla, and gardenia, it that order. I don't smell any citrus. The rest of the notes just blend so perfectly to make a warm, grounded background. I did notice the vetiver today, but it joined the other notes pretty quickly. The nutmeg is very pronounced at first, but also dials back as this dries down to a caramelly vanilla with some spice & florals. Out of all of the perfumes I've tried with a caramel note, this one is the best! This is a perfect Fall scent that is sweet and cozy without being heavy or too gourmand. There is a freshness to it that is surprising for such a "warm" scent. It feels very high end. I am so glad I got to experience this fragrance! I highly recommend it!!
