Want

OMG! I love it already! After one day of wearing I'm in love! We'll see if it will last the day after, but I think it will be a "yes". What's so special here? Nothing new really, but for once it was well made. Exactly as for Dior J'adore L'absolu: what's new? Nothing new but well made. At least to my nose. I already had Hermes 24 Faubourg EdT (and a vague residue of Charlie Red) on one wrist, a classy scent and not so dry, but it immediately became dry compared to Want. So I tried to remove 24 F. and enjoy Want, not on the same spot, of course. Oh, well, I gave myself a good dose from the weird tester... Let's talk about the bottle: a garden ball lamp that called me from 3 meters afar while scanning the shelves. From a close distance it looked more like a portable Moon on a golden stand. The flashy cap is heavyyy! I'm not a fan of Dsquared2 and didn't like their previous fragrances. Way too mainstream and harsh. I thought: "Ok, let's give this one a try, just for reference" I was hooked and immediately reminded of something else. It smelled familiar. For me it's a similar scent with Dior J'adore L'absolu, both for the rose and the vanilla absolute, even if Want is more charged on vanilla. I get the similarities with YSL Cinema (which I dislike for some notes that turned bad on me), but I also get a hint of old Poison in the purple bottle, the EdT from '80s. And, believe it or not, I smell a vague hint of Impulse Spice Girls deospray. I sprayed too much, but I was walking in the mall like in heaven. I'm quite known for being a candy-hater and generally not a lover of gourmands, but I enjoy semi-gourmand when matched with luscious florals. Now, Want is on the borderline. You can definetely smell flowers and especially the rose, but vanilla is strong and a bit overpowering. I wish it was more oriental floral, but if a flaw exists here is the usual one: vanilla used as a drydown without good woods to tame "her". Those "woody notes" tell me nothing. All in all Want is a vanillic gourmand (forget about the grand orientals of the past in 2015), but I believe that I can tell one vanilla from another. I love the absolute and literally loathe all those candy factory vanillas around that make all wearers smell as if they just rolled among the shelves of a 1 euro candy shop. In my nose there is a fine line dividing the good and the bad vanillas. Want falls in the good side for a whim. It's longlasting for sure, sillage is average. The ad is so ugly. I'm glad I didn't see it in advance. Edit: after a whole day it went into the morning after directly on skin. Yes, it is longlasting, even if the part that lasts so long is pure vanilla in a synthetic way, quite similar to Monotheme Vanilla Blossom, which I like as a happy mood lifting scent. Sorry, I made a mistake. I wrote that Wanr smells similar to Dior J'adore L'absolu for its vanilla absolute, but I really meant Dior J'adore L'Or. Too many flankers twisted my brain.

This is a GOR-GE-OUS vanilla fragrance! It is extremely warm and sensual to me, and is enough to satisfy my craving for Kenzo Amour. In fact....I think I prefer this to that. It is such a rich, pure vanilla, with some beautiful woody notes to ground it. It's not an edible sweet sugary vanilla really, but more of the vanilla extract type of scent. Bit more serious and ladylike. I think I smell the sweetness from the rose and orange...maybe some of the ginger as well? Though I think the ginger here is slightly more subdued by the pink pepper, which contributes greatly to this as being a sexy scent. My bf really likes this and he's really picky with fragrance. I absolutely love this, so much so that I got the Pink/Ginger flanker of it immediately after I got this (will do a separate review on that, but simply put it's a more refreshing spin on Want). This one is so rich and deep, that I kind of want to say it's balsamic even though that's not listed in the accords. It also lasts a long time on the skin and clothes, I'd say about 5 hours of good silage before it starts to settle down. So beautifully blended and smells rich and luxurious! I just love it (can you tell?). If you can find it, by all means do test it out :)

I know I've already posted my comment about want,but now that I'm in this page,I can't pass it without saying again that how much I love want...it is the best natural smelling vanilla,powdery,soft,ice creamy but not cold I'm almost easy going about perfumes and it's really easy to please me,but want it the only perfume among more than a 100 perfumes I own that I always want it,I'm always eager to smell it,even sniffing it's cool cap makes me satisfied,but as much as I sniff I feel I can't get enough of it,I'm addicted to want The scent is familiar but I'm sure I've never smelled any fragrance like this,it doesn't smell like a perfume,yet I find it that much delicious that I want to lick my wrist when I apply it,it's amazingly delicious without smelling like a piece of cake..it's cozy in cold temp and cooling in heat..this is a very different vanilla scent In my previous review I said Longevity is good and sillage is moderate,now I've find out that Longevity is great,and sillage is not cloying but noticeable for everyone even not that close to you..just two sprays is enough to relax all day in this delicious creamy heaven There is just one big problem,I prefer to drink it or bath in it,more than wearing it ❤❤❤❤❤

I am in love with this one... owned a bottle from 5 years ago... and the juice color became super dark and the scent event becoming richer and deeper... I even already have 2 back up bottles, knowing that this gorgeous cheapy already discontinued... Its underrated,, waayyy below the radar... Sad.... Actually this perfume offers a very great scent, expensive smelling powdery vanilla with perfect spiciness, the performance also 8/10 for me (considering the price range) and it has a super cute bottle... Its perfect for warm weather but not cloying to wear on sunny day... TBH, now I am thinking about ot the vanillic character somehow reminds me on Guerlain Angelique Noire 😅 only remind me of... I guess the heliotrope is the one that play the powdery character... the vanilla is far away from being gourmand-ish... the woody notes and the ginger giving the perfect warmth to it... I am in love... yet sad because its been discontinued

I've really been enjoying my sample. It's hard for me to explain individual notes on this one, it feels like a fluffy vanilla cloud with a tiny bit of spice from the ginger and pepper. To my nose, it's very similar to Kenzo Amour but with a wood note added to the base. It feels like a sibling of Amour and What We Do In Paris Is Secret. I'm not smelling any rose or citrus. It's fluffy vanilla with that fuzzy feeling that heliotrope can add. It's very sweet but the woods anchors it well. I think I'm gonna need a FB of this. I find scents like this to be very comforting and if you like the others I mentioned, I'm pretty sure you will like this. Edit: I've been wearing this a lot. It continues to be a comforting, fuzzy blanket of vanilla, and I get at least 6-7 hours out of it. Most perfumes evaporate on me much quicker. Sillage is good, my husband can smell it when I enter the room. High praise for the fluffy cocoon.
