Vanilla Sin

Spoiler alert: it’s a body spray. It’s not going to last forever. Ive been looking for a vanilla centric body spray to prep my skin for my actual parfum, but then I discovered this. I find that if you’re worried about your fragrance being too common, you can layer with a body spray to make it more unique. I also tend to wear a lot more extraits and parfums, so starting the chemical reaction with a body spray helps those scents project out further. It also grounds/aims a fragrance in the direction you want it to go sooner. We all have those scents that we have to kinda wait to become what we want them to be before we actually leave the house. This helps my brain simplify the journey, if that makes sense. Two of my faves, Ani and Imperium, kind of take a journey and EVENTUALLY get to that sexy/cozy vanilla situation, it just takes a while. With vanilla in the top and base of this, I immediately think I smell good, and know it’s only going to get better as the body spray dies down and makes way for the mid and the base of my actual perfume. As far as the actual scent goes, I really love it. It was an immediate yes for me. It’s the perfect opening act for most of my fragrance collection. This will add a relatable quality to a spicy or fresh vanilla scent.

I'm not a fan of body mists (with a couple of exceptions). Not just because of the short longevity but also because they usually tend to smell kinda cheap and juvenile, and they all remind me of middle school. Ellis Brooklyn, however, seems to be the exception. Vanilla Sin is AMAZING. It's a super smooth, round, sensual mix of hazelnut, creamy almond, vanilla and cherry without being too heavy or syrupy. It comes in a nice glass bottle with a great atomizer, and this already makes me like it more than all other body mists. The downfall of Vanilla Sin is the longevity. I've never had a perfume, body mist or other kind of scented product with such an awfully short longevity. I know that it's a body mist, and it's not gonna last as long as an actual perfume, but Vanilla Sin is gone after 10 minutes! It's just unacceptable. It lasts longer on fabric though, so I guess I'll just have to spray it on my clothes from now on, but come on... I'll give it an 8/10 because of this, but if I was to rate the scent alone without taking anything else into consideration it's a 10/10. If Ellis Brooklyn ever makes an actual perfume of this I'll buy it immediately!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad we finally got it in my country. When I first spray this, it's the most delicious nutty scent I've ever smelled. And not in the usual cheap way that other body mists tend to be, like the cheirosa body mists, which can be a little repulsive. This one is mouth-wateringly delicious. And the cherry goes amazingly well with the nuts. The drydown is a sweet cherry vanilla. My only sadness is that because this is a body mist, it doesnt last long. Why is this a mist?? I'm so sick of this trend. If this were a perfume, it would be amazing. One thing I will say is that this lasts much longer on clothes than on skin. And interestingly, while my skin quickly loses the delicious nutty cherry scent, it remains this way on my clothes the entire time. I love it... to me it smells almost exactly like Black Opium Over Red, except it has the addition of strong nut notes. Which is such an amazing addition. It feels redundant for me to own this considering I already own Over Red, but this is genuinely mouthwatering. Absolutely excellent. I will definitely test this more when I can.

I just picked this up today and I'm obsessed. It reminds me a lot of Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli, but lighter, brighter, and a tad sweeter. The nuttiness mixed with the incense note in Vanilla Sin gives it an earthy patchouli-esque vibe, so if you don't like a spicey type of vanilla, you won't like this either. But, if you like an earthy, spicey, grown up, but still playful vanilla (think vanilla 28 or Sugared Patchouli), she's your girl. My only complaint is that she is rather light, so you definitely have to over spray and she doesn't have the best staying power. But that is to be expected of a body mist. And honestly, for the price, you can afford to reapply as often as you want.

Snatched a couple 100ml’s at Ross It reminds me of cirque du soliel L’eau de parfum .. in which there’s an airy cereal and milk vibe I don’t pick up a heavy black cherry note thankfully it’s more of a burst and then the gorgeous balmy and delicious gourmande notes take over from there. The Peru balsam is super good along with that incense which leans into a smoky territory slightly woody just a touch Seems to have decent lasting power for a body mist. Hopefully they make an edp version that’s more projecting I love this so much I’m so glad to have found it. Definitely gonna be on the lookout for more!
