Ruby N Vanilla Neroli

It is not unusual for European fragrance companies to have offices in Dubai for tax purposes. This company started out being sold only in very exclusive resorts. It became popular from a couple nano influencers getting their hands on it and it blew up. They never wanted to be distributed in stores and have declined all opportunities. Why sell at steep wholesale prices when they are making a killing selling directly at retail? They always wanted to be small and exclusive. I own very fragrance from this house. There are no animalic notes in this fragrance, and none of the fragrances are dupes. As usually, it seems someone is very bitter and wants to spread lies and hate, for what ever unrelated reason. The good news is, Fragrantica designed this platform to self-delete comments that receive numerous thumbs down. This is a gorgeous rich vanilla with the brghtness of neroli giving it levity for warmer weather.

The vanilla here takes a back seat to leave room for the florals in particular the neroli. There is a lot of almonds in here as well, which is nicely balancing the fragrance. I do not quite detect lavender but that’s just my nose. I am reminded of Love, don’t be shy in a way but this is wayyyyyyyyyy tame compared to Love, don’t be shy. Way tame. The orange blossom comes in after twenty minutes and shines through beautifully. I love orange blossom and here, it is pure and innocent and accentuates the rest of the notes. EBK is such an amazing house! They do perfumes masterfully!! A must try!!

The opening on this one is not easy, but the dry down is so worth it. On my skin, it's as if Love by Kilian and Dama Bianca had a fight in the opening, but then they resolve their differences in the mid and fall in love in the end. A bright and powdery orange blossom with fresh-earthy undertones that is AMAZING in high heat, lasting between 8-10 hours. A surprising compliment-getter for me, but I'm not complaining since I love to wear it. 🧚♀️

Ruby and Vanilla Noroli is such a beautiful fragrance. It will project like crazy. One of the best Vanillas in my collection. It starts off with a Citrus and Lavender scent which is very pleasant and then you start smelling the vanilla and neroli. This is a very classy and grown up fragrance. I'm so confident when I wear this. Definitely 10 out of 10 for me. Full bottle worthy

This is one of my top Fav's, its a love for me. It also has great sileage and longevity, I already ordered some samples of the rest of the house. Can't wait to try them all! ♥

Finally EBK scents are on fragrantica!! This is my favorite one. It is very well blended, projects like crazy, and lasts 10+ hours (I only spray it twice).

This fragrance screams sophistication and beauty. It's angelic, rich, and refined. This has easily become one of my favorites in my collection.

This is juicy and uplifting! And yet refined and smooth! And a beast! They’ve achieved all that at once, you have to give that to them! Really good! If you like Libre intense, you’d probably love this. No unwashed genitalia odour coming from my side; in fact, I get more of that description with Musc Ravageur, which I own and have to do with it, as it was a blind buy, proudly European made ;) And for the love of perfume, stop bringing racism and hate in this! We’re all here to uplift our moods, enjoy a nice scent and forget for a second about the mundane and the misery (with taxes and all).

I thought this fragrance company was in Paris. I placed an order off of the website page link listed to request a purchase and instead my credit card company has flagged and denied the charge. The charge shows coming from Dubai AE and not Paris. Where is this fragrance made and shipped from?

to answer previous question. Brand is based in Dubai and pretend to be Parisian based. Legally they are not allowed to sell their fragrances in EU because they would have to pay for all the safety checks. So all handling and payments are done via direct invoice only, they have no legal rights to have a webshop on the territory under safety regulations of European Union. Nor they are obliged to pay VAT and any business related taxes. So customers simply support something that could be technically made in a random goat fertilizer refinery, we would never know. Because the entire line is not really regulated for allergens, anything in these bottles can potentially lead to severe allergic reactions if not worse. What concerns the fragrance itself, this has one of the animalic musk components in it that smells of unwashed genetalia. Careful wearing it around because what you smell as fruity is often perceived by surrounding as your lack of hygiene and attempt to mask it wearing something loud. From the ones I've tried, vanilla classic version in red bottle is much safer option, Blue bottle one is clone of Floraiku fragrance and oud one smells similar to Xerjoff's Alexandria.

So glad I did not blind buy this, with all the hype it's getting from the "Paid" influencers. Got a decant from Etsy. IMO, there is nothing refined or elegant about this its harsh, loud, screechy, and it smells like rust, has a very acidic quality to it, mixed with the rose. The kind of citrus you find in Pine-sol. There is definitely a strong rose scent in it, even though it's not listed. May be its a powdery note, when mixed with the citrus, that smells like rose, who knows. It has a middle eastern perfume smell. It's somewhat similar to Kilian's Love, the Extreme, version, not the other. Not a safe blind buy.

This is the most elegant, playful, bright, classy, and juiciest fragrance!! It's intoxicatingly delicious. I purchased the full sample set from EBK via eBay (yeah, I know!) and this fragrance took my breath away. I wasted no time purchasing a FB via their unconventional process.This fragrance stands up there in the realm of one you might find as an exclusive in Harrords of NM, but why don't we find it there? Or in Paris? Setting these questions aside, Ruby N Vanille Neroli s one of two fragrances I now consistently reach for when I am heading to an unforgettable moment. It will leave a hauntingly dreamy sillage of ethereal golden vibes wherever you go. It's so delicious! I tend to navigate toward unisex fragrances, but this one is decidedly for those times I am feeling like I want to go a bit extra into my feminine side. Also, I don't get at all the awful comment below about odorous unwashed genitalia. You have to be kidding me? I cannot help but feel that the reviewer that said this has some sort of vendetta against this house. Again, I do get the concerns about whether this is a fragrance from Paris France, or from Dubai UAE. While I don't understand the mystique of it being shrouded with such mystery and lack of transparency, this fragrance is unbelievably wonderful and wow, does it last.

At first I almost gave up on this one. It felt overpowering, thick,too sweet,heavy and just too much. I was ready to sell it, but something told me to try again - just a small amount, gently rubbed onto pulse points (gasp) in this heat wave. And that’s when it changed. In the heat it blooms. The neroli comes alive, not fresh,but gently sweet, slightly minty, and a little sharp. Then the caramel sweetness follows, softening the edges and adding depth. It’s a surprising mix: citrusy, sweet, and cool all at once. Application really makes the difference. Worn lightly, it becomes something elegant and layered, still bold but no longer overwhelming. My husband still doesn’t like it though, and I get why. It’s not a crowd-pleaser. But for me, it warrants it's place in my collection. He says most my collection smells like arabic barber shop for old men (eyeroll/yawn)

A powerful and statement making neroli with great sillage. Unfortunately not using this one at all so ready to send a full bottle with box for a good price anywhere in the EU.

@FemmeFatale31 I know only one fragrance form this brand - Aquamarine N Powder - and it is a dupe of Xerjoff Alexandria II, a really good clone, but still one

I can't figure this one out but it is definitely potent. Much too potent for me but I know others would love that about it. Not for blind buys!

Smells like exalte by funmi monet, but a bit deeper version. Like if exalte was delina then ruby n vanilla neroli would be delina exclusif

I’m a man that wears this, and I absolutely love it. The performance is incredible and it smells so unique on a male.
