The Collection Exhilarating Vanilla

Best vanilla scent out there. Smells like when you pour the pure vanilla extract into the batter while baking cinnamon rolls from scratch, amazing. At the same time sticky sweet yet not very gourmand, kinda like if rum weren't very boozy? It's grounded with some earthy, almost yeasty scent and some powdery spice with labdanum at the base. It does lean masculine but I know bold women who would wear this. Definitely a winter scent, night especially. It smells very vanilla but not like any other vanilla fragrance. If you're like me and love vanilla but every vanilla scent is either too feminine or is Tobacco Vanille, this might be for you. It's way overpriced but it's also really strong, sillage is crazy from two sprays and lasts forever. I get the Babycat comparison and Amore Caffe (but this has no coffee scent at all), although it's not really that similar to Babycat either imo.

This fragrance is definitely designed for men rather than women. It features a smoky and vanilla composition, with the smoky notes being more dominant than the vanilla - about a 60/40 balance. For me, this scent has become a true favorite. The longevity is impressive: it lasts around 7 hours on the skin and even longer on clothes. It performs best in cooler weather and is not ideal for summer use. Overall, it's a warm, deep, and very appealing fragrance.

The initial spray smells like your dark vanilla with touch of spices. It reminds me "by the Fireplace" from Maison Martin. Also similar to Bois Talisman from Dior. Definitely for cold weather and nights. I liked it

Hard to find and really not one for blind buying. I like this- it's in the same genre as antique vanille but with more smoke/burn. Lasts a good 6 hrs and is a vanilla that is not overly sweet. The price however will prevent me from buying- this is not unique enough to warrant 160 euros when you could reach for byredo or Killian for the same price with more interesting profiles. I'm not a big fan of Boss but this was a standout within their "the collection" line

Vanilla bomb, but in a good way. At the first spray it feels like it’s going to be a sweet, almost gourmand vanilla. But once it dries, the boozy side comes in, giving it a deeper, slightly dirty twist — almost like whisky mixed with soft leather. Definitely a party‐time night fragrance, but it’s not too loud so that you can pull it off casually, too. Warm, boozy, grown‐up vanilla.
