Gilles Cantuel Vanilla Eau de Parfum

Amazing! Who knew gems like this still existed? Good luck finding it, but if you do I recommend you grab it. At first spray it reminded me of a patisserie I must have visited as a child somewhere in Europe or the Middle East. That was quite fleeting and I really had a lot of trouble clinging to that sensation because it then morphed into a boozy oudy tobacco with that deep black vanilla intertwined throughout. I’m surprised to hear myself wax lyrical about this one; I had super low expectations. Perfectly unisex, great projection, delicious and long lasting.

This was a blind buy, based on the great price on fragrancex and the notes. What an unsung gem! At first spray, I smelled Cinnamon and clove. Maybe even nutmeg. Then after an hour it was a bourbon vanilla, now it’s a boozy vanilla tobacco. It really is a warm cozy scent, pretty strong, not sure yet about the silage and longevity. But as of now still going strong. Update: very long lasting and good sillage! Still smell it this morning on my skin! Love!

Smells like smoky cooking/baking vanilla - something about the tobacco and spices in combo with the vanilla smells almost edible. Very yummy, and a touch more scrumptious than TF Tobacco Vanille.

Love, love, LOVE. If you see it, grab it. A sweet spicy woody vanilla tobacco beauty. I am totally addicted to it and for less than 20 bucks for a big bottle I can afford to be addicted.

wow, this is such a pretty tobacco perfume. i get tobacco, vanilla, tonka and little bit of woods and spices, and it gets spicier as time goes on. this is a warm, cozy scent and i cannot wait to wear this in the colder months-it will be perfect then.
