Vanilla Love

Wow! Love this one from Jimmy Choo! I love that it truly is a genuine vanilla scent (vanilla is really the main note, start to finish!). There is something distinct about it that I can't describe (apple note?). This one is not like any other vanillas I have tried (I have tried SO MANY...)--I am very happy to have added it to my collection! Vanilla Love morphs from unique top notes, into really nice middle notes, and even different base notes. A must-try for those who love vanillas! I wear this one a lot in the Fall, and also--ONE SPRAY under clothing lasts all day for me! *Update: Okay, so I ordered a purse-size "dupe" oil roller ($10) of this one (Inscentive Oils), and it is like 99% similar to the real deal! Which kinda makes me sad that I spent $150 on the original ...though I still enjoy it so much and the original lasts all day for me, whereas the oil needs reapplied after about 4 hours. Also, I have noticed that the BASE NOTES of Vanilla Love are are strikingly similar to more linear fragrances I have tried-- Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon (under $20 at Target!), and Wicked Vanilla Woods ($12!) from BBW. Just wanted to share this because Vanilla Love is IMO a vanilla gem, but it's also hard to find and expensive--so these other fragrances are pretty good alternatives.

It is RARE I wear a fragrance 2x in a row. With this Vanilla Love....I HAD to. This fragrance deviates from the typical JC dna so if you're like me and dont like their other scents, this is a SAFE blind buy if you LOVE adult vanillas. Its unisex. This is a classic mature vanilla. I was in the movie theater watching the Color Purple and was in a scent bubble the ENTIRE time. The longevity and projection for this baby is very good. I grabbed it on sale for $75. If I had to compare it to other vanillas how would it fair? Spiritueuse Double Vanille from Guerlain 200ml is $570: similar scent profile...HORRIBLE performance and its a skin scent Mahni Cassonade from Navitus 125ml $295: distant cousins scent profile, NO projection, and its a skin scent. Althair newest release from Parfums De Marly that everyone "raved" about 125ml $350: 2nd cousins scent profile but very basic vanilla 🗑 Vanilla 28 from Kayali 100ml $125: Not similar AT ALL but would take Jimmy Choo over it. Performance not spectacular of V28 but compliment getter when layered. Escapade Gourmande from Maison Mataha 100ml $215: Gorgeous sweet creme brule lick me up vanilla with great longevity. Jimmy Choo has more spice but not an overwhelming spice. Safe to own both.

Tried this one recently when buying it for a friend, I have GOT to have my own bottle of this! Can't wait until mine arrive! 25AUG22 I could only swing two bottles of this...but I've definitely gotta save up for at least 2 more! My bottles arrived today and it's definitely a slightly floral kind of vanilla, It is most certainly soft and powdery, but not Iris powdery or Talcum powdery...This is a whole other level of soft, sweet and lush! It's just so lushly soft and still sweet and that slightly floral-boozy note...omg this is vanilla HEAVEN!!! Strong, but subtle....powerful but understated....this is like the "Bruce Lee" of Vanilla fragrances. Like....Elegant and dressed to impress, attractive but with a mischievous edge...proper and sweet...but knows how to kill you if it wanted to. Vanilla Perfection! EDIT: Perfect layering frag as well! So far, adds a perfect vanilla base to almost every single one of my favorite frags (that don't have vanilla). I think "Versace Eros EDP" just got booted from it's reigning slot. They definitely named this one properly...."Vanilla Love" is just supreme!

Wow, just wow. A new friend and fragrance reviewer graciously sent me a box of assorted samples and in this was a vial of Jimmy Choo Vanilla Love oil, maybe a dupe? Not sure it comes in oil, normally. OMG, when I first smelled it, I knew it would layer beautifully with my beloved Lalique Le Parfum and it was so amazing, I went on the hunt for a full bottle of the body oil just so I could layer those two scents. The combination made my eyes roll back in my head. It's definitely not a simple sweet vanilla fragrance. The saffron gives it a spicy kick that seems to pair well with the bay leaf note in the Lalique. I see others say it's a winter fragrance, but it's going to be worn through the seasons here, maybe aside from the very hottest of summer days-thankfully, I live at 2000 ft elevation in the mountains so our nights are always cooler. And the combination lasted all day long and into the night, bonus!

This isn't a one note vanilla, lol. It has apple, black pepper, myrrh and some patchouli. Not sure why fragrantica removed the actual notes. I have quite a few of the "smells like" section and I just have to laugh bc they aren't even close. This one, the apple and pepper come across with the vanilla very clearly making it a sweet, almost cold, spicy vanilla. It's a great addition to any vanilla lovers collection bc of that very coldness. The only draw back is the fact that they only make one size and it's BIG. At 3.4 oz and $220 plus tax and no return policy, makes this a gamble if you don't like it. The bottle is gorgeous, but very heavy and I'm not a fan of the disco globe of a lid. It tends to fall off and it hurts if it lands on your toes. I sold my Iris Crush from this line bc it's just too much perfume, but I wear and enjoy this one often.

Gorgeous rich smoky sweet vanilla bean. This very good Vanilla. It definitely has slight resemblance with SDV by Guerlain and Annick Goutal Nuit et Confidences and also Tihota but yet they are all different. This vanilla isnt super unique, but its very good. It slightly reminds me of Kayali Vanilla as well but a bit more smoky and less sweet. So it is a vanilla that will reminds you of others you smelled before but its very good and easy to love. This Jimmy Choo Line is very impressive and very easy to love so far. Kind of reminds me of Maison Lancomes would do. I would say blind buy safe. The only con is the performance. You really have to overspray to have last for 6 hours + but I dont mind it because Im over sprayer anyways and its worth for the scent. Must try for vanilla lovers.

Maybe my 2nd favorite vanilla of all time which I wasn't expecting. I actually like it more than SDV, only because SDV started to frustrate me after a few years due to the weak projection (and I am normally one to lean toward quieter scents). For reference, I am not a fan of the dirty feeling vanillas like Vanilla 28 and Pink Sugar either. It is like a slightly boozy yet powdery vanilla. I am not sure how else to describe it. Definitely not as boozy as Apple Brandy on the Rocks and also not as spicy as SDV which sounds disappointing and pedantic, but it isn't a straight up vanilla ice cream either.

I have a co worker thats really tall and big. I quietly stood behind him with my 5'3" self. Without turning around he says, "I know you're behind me Joy. I can smell you!" I asked him what did I smell like. He sd, "Divine!" What was I wearing? Vanilla Love from the Jimmy Choo privé line. I always hear influencers tell these crazy stories about ppl chasing them down to compliment their fragrance. Typically Im skeptical of these tales. Well, that same day...a young lady chased me down and asked me what I had on. Once again, Vanilla Love for the win!

it is some how a strange scent in a good way! it is like your usual Vanilla but despite the only presented note being vanilla it has an edge to it, a spicy and sparkly edge! it was a blind buy for me but since i really love vanilla, i thought it would be a good perfume for me and i wasn't disappointed at all. I think Vanilla Love really successfully demonstrates that vanilla is not as basic as many believe it to be this days, and its mysterious and really delicious and highly addictive.

I got a 5 ml decant of this, fell in love, looked up the price, thought again, searched up a dupe, bought that instead, and I’m super happy! I got the oil version from InScentIve and it’s a spot on match. I was looking for a vanilla today to layer with my new decant of Ensens Suave (whoops! I wasn’t totally feeling smelling like incense today!). But my Vanilla Love oil fit the bill, made it softer, sweeter, and much more “me.” My first time buying from InScentIve and I’m impressed 👍👍

I had read how great this was, but that it was discontinued. I happened to be traveling to a city that showed they had 1 at JC boutique, so I took a risk without being able to smell it and bought it. Boy I am glad I did. I love this perfume. It is the perfect vanilla for me. It is more spicy, but not overly. It is not a sweet cakey vanilla. I use 1 squirt, and it lasts for hours. My husband says it really smells great. If you can find it still, get it.

I've tried a lot of the super hyped vanilla. Indult Tihota, SDV, Vanilla 28, VCA orchard vanille, Tihota, Serge Lutens un bois vanille, nishane Ani. Some I couldn't stand, some are super boring. Out of all of them this is my favorite. The way it's done, it is so simple, yet unique. To my nose, it is the perfect smoky, ambery, slightly powdery vanilla. It turns sweeter more amber comes through as it transforms on my skin. I can't stop sniffy my arms.

This is mature lady version of Mercedes Benz Club Black. If Club black seems very sweet, vanilla love is softer and more balsamic or resinous. Also, this is very versatile, you can use it for date night or warm sunny day. But please note that the projection is minimal but longevity is quite impressive 8-10 hours. I forgot how SDV smell like since I just test it at store, but vanilla love is very ladylike and subtly beautiful.

The fact that this has been discontinued 😭😭. This is my favorite vanilla fragrance next to M.Micallef Note Vanillee (the one in the older cube bottle). Now I need to go sniff SDV to see if it's the same type of vanilla. Edit: My partner LOVES this stuff on me. And he's doesn't even like vanilla. Also, SDV is in the same vein, but way more subtle. It doesn't have the same effect that Vanilla Love does on my partner.

Beautiful vanilla. Natural vanilla like vanilla bean, vanilla extract. Very mildly spicy uppn opening with very subtle sweetness from apple, myrrh keeps it a bit smokey. Patchouli not dominant, but underlying. Saffron well blended. Definitely for vanilla lovers. It's a sweet treat that will get you noticed. As it warms up, myrrh and saffron become more dominant mixed with rich vanilla.

For anyone saddened by this one's disappearance, give Miim Miic's No. 94- Intense Vanilla perfume a try! It's supposed to "mimic" Kayali's Vanilla, but IMO- its much more similar to JC Vanilla Love! And SO AFFORDABLE (I'm speaking from having the oil version in this dupe)!!!

After letting this one macerate for a month, I am in love. Something about that vanilla and saffron combo gives me a high lol. Edit: wore today 1/30 and someone said I smelled like I was wearing fantasy by Britney Spears.

I adore this, but sadly my husband does not. 😅 I have a 3/4-full bottle if anyone would like to buy it. Send me a note. 🥰 (UK only please - shipping these days is a nightmare!)

The fact that this has been discontinued is an absolute travesty. One of the best vanilla fragrances I have tried.

Wow...I guess it's a good thing I bought all those backup bottles in the Bitcoin profiteering days. I'm good.
