Vanille Et Coco

Vanille Et Coco opens with a pinch of bitterness that reminds me in some way on Cartier's - Le Baiser Du Dragon but without the vetiver that turns on me like pickle dills (that's the reason I gave away LBDD). The bitterness in the combination with creamy notes gives this scent something that gives it wings. It manages to smell at the same time gourmand and perfumey, which is a difficult task for most gourmands without smelling too mainstream. It also smells in some way vintage, lipsticky? But what's this bitter note?! Is this amaretto? Coffee? Quick look at the pyramid reveals there's no coffee in here, but I smell it! Maybe its the anise with combination with iris? I'm clueless, but it works! Bitter, sweet and creamy. The more to the drydown the more VeC becomes powdery. The bitter note mellows down. At this point I get the iris. But what a excellent one – trust me, I'm a big hater of any iris scents, but this one is truly different – just like the nice fresh, weightless powder note that you get when you smell a reall iris flower. Not pungent, not screechy, just nice and mellow. Behind iris there's a runner up – ylang ylang. It just gives us a more full bodied and exotic and a very buttery feeling of the scent. The floral notes are prominent, but not the main players – there's vanilla, powdery and creamy and coconut, oppulent and fatty. In the drydown the floral and bitter notes disappear almost completely, there's just an aura of them that tells us not to forget them completely. In this stage the powdery vanilla amps up, smelling like vanilla crescent cookies and the coconut turns even creamier. Excellent and unforgettable. Raw and unique.

Such a beautiful powder bomb! Like the name suggests, this is vanilla and coconut, but not in a gourmand or beachy way. It's a romantic scent reminiscent of a pink powder puff that feels vintage without smelling dated or musty. Comforting, happy and feminine with a very light tropical undertone. The iris in this is mostly noticeable in texture, this doesn't have the cold and clean vibe that other fragrances with iris have. Ylang-ylang and some other lovely flowers lend the scent some creaminess, so it doesn't cross the line from powdery to dusty. Vanille et coco is relatively simple and easy to wear as long as you like sweet and powdery fragrances. Really pretty, like a beautiful veil of coconut, vanilla and floral powder around you.

A lovely soft & cuddly fragrance. It's not too loud, but definitely present, lingers around me nicely. I don't detect all of the notes, on my skin it's basically a soft creamy mixture of vanilla, coconut, tonka & a faint hint of Ylang Ylang. It stays pretty much the same from opening till dry down. Longevity seems to be fine, I'm wearing it for three hours now where I can still smell it on myself pretty good without making an efford. Most scents would have faded to barely detectable by now,... ♥♥♥♥

I've met this perfume on my trip to Vienna. What a pleasant surprise this scent was! From the first sniff i knew i'm in love with it. It's very soft, warm and cosy, with a right dose of vanilla. I feel very charming and all feminine wearing it. Delicious fragrance. People always wondering what that lovely smell is!! It reminds me of Teint de neige which i also own. Vanilla et coco is warmer, lighter, more subtile. I'm gonna enjoy my big bottle of this delightful juice. A beauty with a smile!!!

Oh boy probably my best blind buy of all time. It’s baby powder and coconut in equal quantities. It’s not a beach sun tan lotion coconut, it’s a creamy gourmet coconut and the baby powder keeps the coconut from being too sweet, the vanilla comes and goes it’s absolutely gorgeous not old lady at all. I think this could be worn all year round. It’s very feminine. I think it’s very sexy
