Osmo Scents Vanille Bourbon

This is rich, soft, and beautiful. I have been looking for a vanilla that I can wear alone or layered without adding a lot of other stuff to the mix. In other words a pretty straight up vanilla. Which is not to be confused with ordinary. I also wasn't looking for anything particularly sweet. Il Profvmo's Osmo Vanille Bourbon seduced me into choosing her~pure and simple. I actually got a sample of the EDP and wasn't that impressed with it at first. I might have been had I been able to smell it! But I continued to rotate through my samples of pretty stellar vanille's and she became the clear choice. As she blends into your skin a warm, buttery, softness starts to lightly kiss the air around you. I love rose wood and can easily detect it's goodness in this scent. It gives it body without it ever becoming woody or dry. This vanilla smells like vanilla without crossing over into dessert land. The heliotrope is never strong or insistent. It actually rounds this out and quite nicely. This is absolutely everything that I've been looking for~the perfect go to vanilla scent! I also have Farmacia SS Annunziata Vaniglia Del Madagascar which is also lovely, but a completely different animal. It has nowhere near the versatility that this one does. And that's the crux of this scent~alone or layered with something else~she is an outstanding example of what she says she is~Vanille. This fall will be Montale's Vanille Absolu~but that's another story.....

The simplest, most natural vanilla scent I have experienced. It's almost simpler, more "zen" that putting your nose in a cut up vanilla bean. Delicate, with low silage, but good lasting power, this scent is attractive in its almost organic quality. I cannot envision many notes other than vanilla. It's not particularly sweet. There is a coolness to it, literarily giving it a cooling property, and some milky smoothness. Actually it makes me think more of the orchids rather than the beans. The result? vanilla icecream. A diet one, without much sugar, without much fat, a little transparent. It's expensive for what it is. But if you're looking for a natural, non chemical vanilla, etheral and delicate, this will please for sure. The only vanilla without spices, fruits, sugar, anise or powder. Relaxing... nice for bedtime. Aromatherapy to calm nerves. Keeper for me.

The absolute King of vanilla scents. Il Profvmo take the crown for this beauty. There isn't a hint of butter in this masterpiece, and it doesnt need (unlike some) lashings of fruit to disguise itself as the creamy custard to the current fashion for ambulating cherry pies. In short - the softest, most mouth watering, long lasting, powdery, skimmed milky vanilla in the whole wide world. Don't take this as read, because I'm sure it's a chemical thing with me, but after a while, any vanilla begins to take on that strage smell you get when you lift the lid on the crayola tin in school. Chewed, semi melted wax crayons. Luckily, you, dear reader, will not have this cruel chemical assailant in your natural aromatic arsenal, so you may dismiss that bit and buy with glad cries. Ker-ching!

This is simply beautiful. If you are like me and your tired of trying vanilla perfumes that always contain plasticity,dollhead,caramel, butterscotch,honey,playdough,resins,smoke,spices and your just looking for that perfect real vanilla extract scent almost marshmallowy with a soft note of airy florals deep in the background, then this is for you!. I was so happy to find this perfume, its very simple but just right. I do wish it lasted longer and projected more. But it's more of a personal scent, a close to the skin scent. If your a true vanilla lover you need to try this one it is lovely!. I purchased a sample from luckyscents and now own a 50ml bottle. It's my go to scent but I'm still on the look out for other vanilla fragrances.

Il Profvmo's Osmo Vanille Bourbon is gorgeous and almost entirely unique. It’s this ridiculously pure, rich, milky and silky bourbon Vanilla. It’s airy, light and elegantly whispers to you. It’s warm and soothing with a touch of sweetness. I do get a small accord of floral notes (especially heliotrope) but they sit background to the Vanilla and enhance this perfume nicely. It smells luxurious and is also perfect for layering. It’s a soft, simple and subtle perfume with low to moderate sillage but is quite long lasting. I am obsessed with the note of Vanilla so have been on a quest to find the best Vanilla perfumes and collect them. I will have to buy a full bottle of this. 8/10 for me.
