Vanilla Haze Extrait de Parfum

I am normally not a fan of gourmands or vanilla scents, but I found this one to be quite pleasant. If you also find sweet vanilla scents to be nauseating, you might consider trying this as it's not as intense as others in the sweetness dimension. That being said, I would still personally prefer it slightly less sweet and vanilla. All that being said, I loved the scent b/c it feels super unisex, perhaps bordering on a masculine vanilla. It's definitely got a warm wood spiciness to it at it's opening with a prominent vanilla. It's hard to pick out the lemon here but perhaps the subtle lemon is what makes it less overwhelming as a vanilla scent for me. As it dries down your left with a really sexy musky vanilla that smells like it's been aged in some oak barrels.

This won’t be for everyone, but on me this is a uniquely non-feminine smoky vanilla. It’s not like the EDP, which is sweet and creamy. This is greener and spicier. The performance is great - lasts 4+ hours on me. In the end, others’ reviews are great for helping a decision on what to smell/buy, but what isn’t captured is how it makes you feel - I feel amazing when I wear this. My confidence is boosted, knowing that I smell incredible. Each to their own, but this is in my top 10.

i’ve only been working through a 3ml sample so i hope my opinion will still be the same when i get a full bottle but this is truly of the best vanillas ive tried and possibly my favorite saffron fragrance. it’s done so exceptionally well here. very spicy but takes on an almost airiness that’s present in the original vanilla haze. sweet, spicy, and woody perfection. it’s feels so cozy and warm

Ridiculous, this is so realistic and mouthwatering, its making me hungry.. Love Fugazzi (Edit: not wearing this myself btw, i smelled it on a female)

Stunning sophisticated elegant scent . Mysterious . Not a unique DNA nevertheless 10/10 . Long lasting .

Didn't like it for a seconds but I waited for a few minutes and the dry down is "woah" :0

I CANT SMELL THE COCONUT BUT 11/10

I get the Matiere Premiere Crystal Saffron/Vanilla Powder comparisons. This is a lot softer however, it has an almost buttery note to me on the dry down. To my nose, the coconut isn’t as in your face as it is with vanilla powder but it is there and the smokiness added by the saffron makes it much darker than your standard sweet gourmand. I love all sorts of vanilla and this is a different take to anything I own so I appreciate its uniqueness to me. Not too sweet, buttery smoothness counteracted by the saffron, with decent projection and very good longevity, gives it a deserved place in any vanilla lover’s collection. Do keep sniffing my arm where I sprayed. It’s one of those that draws you back for a closer sniff! I’d say it’s very unisex, if not slightly more ‘male’ leaning and I can see myself wearing this more in the autumn/winter months (especially evenings), although I think you could get away with wearing to work. Arbitrarily scoring it 8/10. Layering it with something sweeter is something I might try in future.

When I think extrait, I think stronger & more intense. But this isn't really the stronger version of Vanilla Haze EDP. If anything, this is a softer, rounder version. I believe it's from the coconut & saffron in this. As the scent dries down, I can smell a little bit of the Vanilla Haze DNA come thru, but it's been declawed. Specifically, it's missing the crunchy bite in the OG that I love -- the part that reminds me of the burnt sugar shell on top of a creme brulee. If I didn't know this was Vanilla Haze Extrait, I would've thought this was a flanker/dupe of Matiere Premier Vanilla Powder (called Vanilla Pudding). Overall, it's ok, but I like the original Vanilla Haze better. And since I have Vanilla Powder as well, I will not be grabbing a full bottle of this.

A less sweet version than the EDP and quieter in its performance. The saffron is the most noticeable, but it’s quite soft. The base reminds me of Matiere Premiere’s Crystal Saffron Extrait, only Vanilla Haze is softer, less dense, and slightly sweeter. These are impressions from skin.

so SO much better and more interesting than the edp. i don't get sweat at all, but a slightly spicy vanilla drying down into sweet wood - very alike to vanilla incense my mom used to love <3

this smells almost exactly like lush’s tumeric latte to me

I’m so disappointed by this. I LOVE the original Vanilla Haze and was debating on buying a full size after my sample size, but saw they released an Extrait. Normally I like extraits better than the original, so I bought a travel size of this Extrait. Upon first spray all I smell is something woody—I don’t know if that’s the hazelnut or saffron maybe? But it’s strong and almost one note. I don’t pick up on lemon at all. After a few minutes it mellows though it’s still there, and I can faintly pick up on coconut and tonka and a lot of vanilla bourbon, maybe a hint of cashmeron. I don’t really smell caramel or clove. It is ok. I wish I would’ve bought the bigger size of the original VH. I probably will still and will try combining it with this Extrait and maybe I’ll like it better.

Vanilla Haze Extract is a mature vanilla. Syrupy, rich, nutty. A little boozy? but not too much. It has a leathery note that I could do without. Is it the cashmeran and saffron? Definitely get the caramel and this does remind me of a salted caramel dessert, but in a cocktail bar. It reminds me of some TF fragrances, and smells like something Mind Games put out, though I can't remember which one. It also is a little bit like By the Fireplace. Evocative of many popular vanillas. Not getting the hate for it because there are more synthetic and worse smelling vanillas with a greater number of positive reviews.

The opening is overwhelming and too spicy, as it dries down I can smell the Vanilla Haze edp in the background, with a lot of spices on top. I feel this one leans masculine, it's like a male version of Vanilla Haze edp. It's not bad, but I don't think it's for me, I would rather smell it on a man. Maybe I'll try to layer it with the edp version🤷

Not for me... overly sweet and synthetic. There’s at least some depth during the dry down, it brings in some more of the caramel, spices, and nuttiness, but I really can’t get past the bath and bodyworks-esque feeling. I think there are better, more unique options in this scent profile for the same price or cheaper.

this is a non-spicy version of babycat in some ways...it's the musky vanilla saffron scent profile. not bad at all, but definitely not something i'd reach for outside of late fall/winter. probably not my fave from this house, but not a stunner in the way i would like :( very unisex though!

I smell the potential. The dry down (after several hours) is nice, but golly, the saffron is so overpowering in this fragrance, it just overwhelms the rest of the notes. So strangely, it becomes quite a linear profile. Shame really.

Safreleine with vanillin and cashmeran, probably eugenol. Feels like the top notes are not present and the fragrance kinda starts at the heart to the base. No lemon, hazelnut, or lemon. A very safe and basic vanilla fragrance

This one smells like straight up propolis/bee glue. It's identical. If you like something like that, this one is perfect for you. If you don't, stay away
