Bourbon Vanilla

It is and it will ever be the best vanilla, (for my nose) and it is very simple... i don't know why and how, but this perfume reminds me my childhood in "Martinique" with my grandparents ! Considering the advice from fragheads community, i blind bought "Un Bois Vanille" from Lutens... not bad but the main difference is the licorice note (and i am not fan of licorice even if Lutens made a good job with this perfume 🙂) ! I went to Jovoy and saw a perfumer near my home... but they have never smelled something like this and could not recommend me a similar product ! 🥺 For the love of perfumery IF someone can tell me the name of a good dupe or exact replica of this juice, i will really really REALLY appreciate ! 😎👍😍

Initial blast on skin I get cacao and vanilla then it mellows out to an earthy boozy vanilla with a touch of dry spice and cacao. Faint rose and ginger. Great blend of notes. seems like it will last and project. Nothing feminine about this one although the lady's could pull it off no doubt. (On paper I pick up more rose and cassis) and yes I know cacao is not a listed note.

Incredible, just incredible scent, gingery vanilla which gives a slight boozy vibe. Like a Fahrenheit Le Parfum mixed with Tabac Rogue and Tobacco Vanilla. Really pleasant, spicy and smooth, with stunning performance.

I'm extremely confused over so many reviews describing this as "boozy" - is it because of the word bourbon in its name? Bourbon Vanilla is a type of vanilla grown in Madagascar... I detect nothing boozy about this. I quite liked this from first spray (and I usually dislike vanilla) but as it's drying down it's become super sweet which has put me off somewhat. Performance is definitely good but unfortunately this is the first Zegna that's not left a very good impression with me. I'll definitely revisit it since this is based on one spray to my arm maybe 4-5 hours ago, but this is definitely one for fans of sweet scents. I own every Essenze/Spice besides Indian Spices (and I have a decant) but after one wearing of this I sold it. Unfortunately not my cup of tea and my first disappointing Zegna

I had high hopes for this, and it *sort of* delivered. I can't say I like the opening - it was very sweet and almost harsh, not the sort of vanilla I was hoping to smell (like a spiced vanilla gingerbread, perhaps because of the ginger and cassis). After an hour or so, the harshness disappeared I was left with a smooth, boozy vanilla, couldn't detect any florals. If it wasn't for the opening, I would get a full bottle. I can't justify the price if I can only appreciate the drydown.

Had high hopes for this one, but to me it smells very chemical. It's the only Zegna I dislike and I'm a big fan of this brand

This is an exceptional fragrance, both in scent and performance. One of Zegna's best releases (this is saying a lot considering Haitian Vetiver, Mediterranean Neroli, Indonesian Oud are so gorgeous). I usually really dislike vanilla-dominant fragrances and don't tend to enjoy sweet scents in general. Bourbon Vanilla changed my mind. The opens with a beautiful blast of spicy vanilla. It's smooth and sweet, but has a very exciting tangy aspect to it. The most interesting thing is the airiness of the fragrance despite such a sweet body–I've never experienced that before. Additionally, the vanilla here is really sparkling, which makes it even more delicious. Aside from vanilla, I get some subdued spices and perhaps mixed fruits? The fragrance is very linear in my opinion, which is a great thing considering the lovely scent. The fruitiness fades after a few hours and we're left with a sweet, airy and sparkling vanilla. The performance is excellent; I get more than 12 hours of longevity with very good projection for about 4-5 hours. This will be the first vanilla-dominant fragrance in my collection. Underrated gem.

This, to me, is one of the best vanilla fragrances ever made. In the opening is very similar to carner barcelona EL born. It's boozy with some herbal green notes and vanilla in the background. THe green notes can be a little hars in the first 5 minutes, but then, the vanilla is the star of the show.. It's a bozzy vanilla with some earthy notes. In the drydown it is a bit similar to Lutens un bois vanille, but much more masculine. It really lasts, but the projection is moderate. TO me, better than SDV and one of the best if not the best masculine vanilla.

It is a perfect blend of coconut, cacao, vanilla. It smells similar to suntan lotion but in a perfect way. It makes you smell the cap at least once every couple of days. It is perfect for winter and fall. You can also wear this on a cool summer night and one spray should be plenty for summer. It is a strong fragrance with moderate to high sileage. Women can also use this and enjoy it actually. The drydown is pure vanilla like a baked vanilla cookie. Sadly, it is discontinued like every other good fragrances out there. I give 9 out of 10

Funny how people describe a "boozy vanilla" or expect to smell whiskey because of the name... FYI "Bourbon" refers to the french island of La Reunion (fka Bourbon Island). Indeed, the strain of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is referred as "Bourbon Vanilla" (or "Madagascar Vanilla"), depending on which island it's cultivated. as opposed to "Tahiti Vanilla" and "Pompona Vanilla"). The same is valid for vetiver, with Haitian Vetiver, Java Vetiver, Indian Vetiver and... Bourbon Vetiver. No booze in the story, guys!

Absolutely stunning fragrance I'm so so so so so so so so so happy that I stocked up on 4 bottles I fell in love with this masterpiece as I didn't want to be without such a hypnotic fragrance and yes you guessed it they've discontinued this masterpiece sweet rich deep intense addictive fragrance. Best vanilla fragrance by far forget tobacco Vanille this is a true masterpiece. Also for me lasts like a edp.

Gee I really wanted to love this. But there is a note in it which I cannot stand and it dominates the wearing. I think it is the cassis....it doesn't smell really bad or gross- just not pleasant and dominant I don't ever get the vanilla or any sort of bourbon. Just this one odd note. Bummer is that is has nuclear longevity. Lasted 24 hours on back of hand and through a shower.

Forget tobacco vanille by Tom Ford if you want a sweet rich hypnotic fragrance this one is totally beautiful lasts all day on skin really easily, on a shirt or jacket lasts for days. It's totally unique deep and intense. Unlike other zegna fragrances on me this is a real powerhouse fragrance.

its not as much of a pure vanilla as the name might suggest - as a soliflore type - it certainly does have some sweetness but its also very rich and deep but also has an "edge" - not harsh but definitely an edge, like a laquered edge of dark fruits and cool florals

I have an unopened FB, shipping from Denmark.

This one will definitely be on my radar.
