Vanilla Chantilly

I have a sample of the VDP and definitely like it. Vanilla Chantilly is a cool vanilla. It's gourmand like a fine cookie coated in powdered sugar, though it's not a powdery perfume. I almost get an almond note that makes this smell very much like Serge Lutens Louve but without the powder. I think that's going to drive me to buy a FB of this over Louve because this is so much more affordable and pleasant overall. I'd go for the heftier EDP though, because .5 mL VDP splashed all over me has barely any sillage. It's also cold at the moment, so I'll wait to try this out in warm weather to see how it performs.

I came across this fragrance while searching for a milk scent. One reviewer mentioned that DSH Au Lait was too musky and perfumey to be a true milk scent and recommended Chantilly Cream instead. What a good suggestion! Chantilly Cream is the milky vanilla scent that I wanted. It’s soft and sweet without being sugary or foody or powdery. It doesn’t smell exactly like milk, which would probably be rather unpleasant in a perfume, but gives an impression of milky warmth. I’m very sensitive to musk and even though it’s listed as a note, I don’t really smell it and thankfully get no migraines from it.

Thought I reviewed this ages ago! Vanilla Chantilly is one of the most wonderful vanillas I have ever laid my nose on. I don't know how she did it. It smells like the purest, most luscious vanilla cream without being sickeningly sweet, synthetic, cloying. Very well-balanced somehow. If pregnancy hadn't ruined gourmand fragrances for me, I would own this one by now. It's a vanilla masterpiece, not one to pass up!

love love this perfume...in my opinion it is as good as spiriteseus double vanille. I'm still deciding which I like better. I get more longevity with vanilla chanilly. I also like this better then dsh vanille bourbon intense. still learning my way in perfume world but this is a excellent vanilla perfume

This literally exactly like the Oatmeal milk and honey fragrance oil I use in my handmade products. Edit: I definitely could smell vanilla in my 1st sample, but I got ahold of another sample & this one has way more vanilla, with a vague hint of the Oatmeal milk & honey scent.

I've been craving a new fragrance for some time, but nothing caught my nose, so to speak. I purchased Vanilla Chantilly completely unsniffed, because I was at the point where if I merely "liked" it, it would be better than dealing with fragrances I haven't been in the mood for. It turns out I love Vanilla Chantilly - because it's exactly what I wanted it to be! (This rarely happens with fragrance). The name, of course, recalls the iconic, still-in-production Chantilly; first released by Houbigant in 1941, and later appropriated (and reformulated) by Dana. I love Chantilly in all its forms, but I was not hoping Vanilla Chantilly would smell like it. Chantilly is named for Chantilly lace, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vanilla Chantilly isn't supposed to call to mind the forest of Chantilly as well as the whipped cream. Vanilla Chantilly is a woodsy vanilla that's sweetened by a powdery, milky note. It is a sensual scent in a retro-way (think Shalimar)and it stays close to the skin, taking on more sweetness, less vanilla, as it warms. Despite being vanilla and cream, this does not smell like a dessert. It doesn't make me think of ice cream, or cake, or burnt sugar. Vanilla Chantilly reminds me a bit of Atelier Vanille Insensee, with powder rather than smoke. It's extremely long-lasting, and it's beautiful.

I've tried a few DSH vanillas and I'd have to say this one is my favorite so far. Others have gone a little play-doh like, but Vanilla Chantilly seems to the least. If you are looking for a pure fondant scent, then this is a good choice. This is not an earthy vanilla, nor is it painfully sweet, despite the frosting likeness. It's a vanillin plus natural vanilla fragrance, so keep in mind that it's not a pure vanilla extract smell. The spice note is very subtle, like just a dash of cinnamon in a white cake, and the musk is there to ground. It's just wholesome and good. Nothing too complex or exciting here, but that's not what anyone's here for. Would make a great gift or perfume for a tween girl. This is considered a skin scent so no monster sillage. Average longevity and no headaches.
