Fursan White

After completely falling in love with Zara’s Immortal Vanilla, but only buying the 30ml size, I decided to get Fursan White because I expected both of them to be dupes of Vanilla Powder. That day, I went into a Zara store to test some fragrances, and Immortal Vanilla was the one that impressed me the most. The fragrance also gets a lot of praise in reviews, so I bought the 30ml bottle (mainly because it still felt a little too sweet for the 35–40°C weather where I live, so I thought I wouldn’t use it that much during this season). But then I ended up using one-third of the bottle within a week. It’s the kind of scent that becomes more addictive the more you smell it. Speaking about Immortal Vanilla, it smells like coconut milk — sweet, rich, creamy, and slightly powdery. It gives off a very luxurious vibe, like walking into an expensive hotel. I also tried Matiere Premiere’s Vanilla Powder in-store, and honestly, it felt almost 1:1 compared to Immortal Vanilla. There are slight differences: Vanilla Powder smells a bit smoother, cleaner, and just slightly less coconutty. But if you gave them to someone who isn’t deeply into fragrances, I guarantee they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Then I came across Fursan White, another Vanilla Powder dupe that has been heavily praised on social media, so I decided to give it a try instead of buying a full-size Zara bottle since it was slightly cheaper. And... yes, they really do smell alike. When first sprayed, I genuinely thought they were using the exact same juice 😆 However, during the dry down, I could still notice a slight difference. Immortal Vanilla feels sweeter, richer, and more coconut-heavy, while Fursan White gives me a slight lactose / powdered milk cream vibe, probably because of the almond note. Still, they remain extremely similar overall. So in conclusion, if you’re looking for a Vanilla Powder dupe, you honestly can’t go wrong with either one. Both are incredibly addictive. Oh, and regarding performance — absolutely amazing. Just one spray on a test strip made my entire room smell faintly of it until the next morning. The quality of both fragrances feels nearly identical. From Dennis with love ❤

For sure THE seductive vanilla. I own a decent number of vanillas, and I’ve smelled even more, but nothing quite like this. She's elegant and untouchable, but on holiday she's relaxed, the silk slipping off her shoulders... If you usually shy away from powdery notes or coconut notes, this one might change your mind. The vanilla opens lush and warm, with creamy woods rising early to add depth (not complexity, this doesn't feel particularly complex) and generous, salty kisses with creamy coconut milk powder. Where I would usually be wary of powder, I WANT TO BATH IN THIS POWDER. People often overuse the word 'addictive' in perfume reviews. Out of all my collection, this is the one that is most addictive and helped me remember what addictive means. (I spray and then want to spray again, though I just sprayed it and it hasn't faded, I dont stop sniffing my arm). I agree, dear reader, I also don't want to smell like suncream, and this isn't that. (If it is, you have to buy this fancy version from a boutique at Harrods). Now I understand why fragrances describe themselves as powdery; *THIS* is what they want us to imagine. TLDR: Seductive vanilla with a dry down that is well-blended and retains all its notes, though it turns very warm and smooth. On me, good sillage, good staying power, good projection. If you like Tihota, you'll like this. Similar richness and depth of vanilla (nowhere near as prominent of a musk note though), but lasts/projects way better. Suitable for both gourmands and non-gourmands who enjoy vanilla. Conversely, if you *could never* with coconut, you probably won't like this. If you really could *never even imagine* with powder (and you've put in the effort), then you might not like this (if you were my friend, I would try and change your mind with this though, I'm annoying like that)

Wow... this one? It is sooo sexy, and Super versatile yet very put together, mixing totally opposite vibes — bossy, confident energy with a full-on exotic vacation feel. Very niche. Despite what the name of the perfume it’s inspired by implies (Vanilla Powder by Matière Première — which I haven’t tried yet) this one is sweet, but not in a vanilery, flat, common kind of way — more sophisticated and dense, yet with a touch of freshness and a tad of bitterness from the bitter almonds. For me, this tad of bitterness is strangely lovely, keeping it interesting and sexy, with depth and character. But this slight, niche kind of bitterness may not work for some. Fursan White is a bomb — a total attention-grabber and a serious compliment-getter. To my nose, it’s fully unisex — very strong, full beast mode. It opens a bit sharp, but quickly settles into a smooth, polished scent.The coconut is airy, like coconut flakes, without the usual sweetness often paired with coconut notes in many perfumes. The bitter almond, cedarwood, and nutmeg give it a polished edge, and the jasmin and bergamot combo keeps it fresh. It never turns too sweet or overly floral.Though if florals aren’t your thing, you might want to skip this one Occasions: Suitable for any occasion, at any time, with any look. Seasons: Can be worn all year round. In the peak of summer, it’s best to use it sparingly or in air-conditioned environments, as it is dense and dominant. A little goes a long way... Strong performer Beastly Long-lasting Great sillage

The bergamot in this is strong. It’s the main thing I smell, with a little bit of fresh laundry fuzziness from the musk and the teensiest tiniest hint of coconut. Maybe it just needs time to mature for the bergamot to calm down and become better blended. I was hoping the vanilla or coconut would be a little stronger to make it a little creamy. It does have a hotel soap vibe like others have mentioned. I feel like it could be paired with musamam white intense if you want to feel like a rich woman at a luxury hotel in a tropical location that just had a shower after spending the day at the pool and sauna. Update: It’s been 6 hours and still all I can smell is bergamot. Luckily I only sprayed my ankle to test but I can still smell it without even trying. This has to be the strongest bergamot note I’ve ever encountered. Final update: It’s been about five days and the bergamot is still pretty strong for the first hour but I was shocked when I first sprayed it because I could actually smell the coconut too now! Now that it’s been a little over an hour, the vanilla has also come out and the bergamot, while still present, has calmed down loads. It’s now actually very creamy vanilla made fresher with a touch of bergamot. I was so close to hating this but I’m glad I waited a few days because I actually kind of love it now! If you get this and it’s a bergamot bomb for you too, just spray it a lot and then revisit it after about a week because it gets so much better!

Blind bought this and whilst waiting for the postman I read the reviews below. Sounded like a pretty divisive scent. Straight out of the bottle however , I loved it! Comforting woody coconut with buttery sweetness. I do understand why some might find it masculine but to me it's incredibly well balanced. Like eating Rafaellos cozied up with your favourite male, could be hubs could be Dad but it has that solid grounding presence throughout, I guess the cedarwood does this but equally I get a white chocolate coated coconut giving it enough sweetness to balance. It dries down like cocoa butter and crumbly 'Nice' biscuits or coconut rings, like a smooth vanilla shortbread with some of the bergamot that counters the butter and a background of coconut throughout. It fills the room, the atomiser is lovely and the bottle is pretty heavy, feels luxurious. I would wear this in cooler weather or Summer evenings. Not cloying at all though. A fantastic blind result! Perfectly unisex! Haven't tried VP so cannot compare. Updating to add that this layers so well with Goldfield and Banks Sunset Hour and seems to give SH a little bit more projection and longevity!

An excellent dupe for vanilla powder. Almost 99% to my nose. Lasts well over 6 hours on my skin and longer on clothes! Have given it as a present and love my own one! Leaves a lovely scent trail, your coconut - vanilla presence will be felt! Atomiser on it is beautiful and man, I love that bottle! An easy repurchase option. The musky woodiness with vanilla gives of a vibe of drinking fresh coconut water with macarons (feeling indulgent 🥰) by the pool on a resort, which has a lingering floral scent. I don't smell jasmine nor do I smell bergamot in it, although it's in the notes but there is something floral about it. This vibe of this perfume is making me go through this weird gloomy winter in a dreamy way, as if I were in Portugal right now! Now I do think this isn't a blind buy safe option. VP was love at first sniff and honestly, I was saving up to buy it till I came across this FW after multiple reviews so for me, it worked out! I would suggest folks to get a sample before buying it. To me, this an all year round fragrance for any occasion, definitely a date worthy scent!

Wow omg this is so good! Powder, powder, powder, creamy coconut, vanilla, nutmeg a hint of cedar somewhere in the background some musk...This feels so soft and cozy and warm to me but not in a cloying heavy way. But wouldnt wear it on a hot day, then it might be too much. Some ppl in the comments say it smells like Raffaello and I can see that too! Raffaello with a little nutmeg, and a tiny bit of a woody twist. I can also see how it on some skin, can turn into a pencil shavings thing cause of the nutmeg cedar undercurrent, maybe becoming more pronounced. But on my skin I think this is sexy AF, very feminine, classy and an amazing datenight fragance...Not a powder scent person at all but this stuff slays. Oh and it doesnt smell like Khamrah Qahwa at all as a lady down below mentions, i have both and really dont see the comparison. If you like vanilla, lots of powder and coconut, with a little nutmeg kick, then it's a pretty/sort of safe blind buy, if not, smell it somewhere first. Instant love! 9,5/10 💖

I did a long review/first impressions a while back but it was a little all over the place because this scent really does need to sit for a few months. During that time the top notes softened up considerable & the base came out way more. Because of that, I deleted that review. I'll be more brief here. This scent is like white floral(jasmine) & bright bergamot sitting on top of a neutral (but still cozy) vanilla & coconut powder mix. That's it. It's clean & classy, bright & mood boosting but cuddly & comforting also. This is unisex with a strong feminine lean imo. Performance is excellent. I get 8-10+hrs and projects softly but strongly for that time. On clothes will last until washed. As far as seasons, it'd work well in spring, fall & winter. In summer, it's possibly doable but it might be too much in very high heat. Overall, very happy to have this in my collection. It's truly become one of my favorites. Update: I now list this as my signiture scent.

Gorgeous fragrance and very refined. I haven’t tried the OG to know if it’s a dupe, but Khadlaj is a great house and their perfumes are top notch. For the quality, price point, beautiful bottle and atomizer— so worth it. I don’t usually like powdery or coconut perfumes but those facets are superbly done here. I don’t get the bergamot nor jasmine which is a bit of a bummer, perhaps with time as it matures. Since getting it a few days ago, on my skin it’s a powdery vanilla with soft fluffy coconut (which is not sunscreen-like) with a kiss of almond, but still sweet without being too gourmand. I also didn’t need to let this sit, it was beautiful right out the box. I’d say it’s unisex for sure, but definitely more feminine leaning. One other thing to note: do not overdo this lol. I typically overspray but for this, you need ONE. For beast mode, two. But no more than that! I did 3 sprays the first time I got it and gave myself a headache.

This is by far my most complimented fragrance in my 100 bottle collection. I do own the original “ Vanilla Powder” and this is seriously a 1:1 clone. I couldn’t believe it. This is a very dry coconut powder vanilla with musk. It’s not gormound. It’s like a hug in a cashmere sweater. Last until the next day shower. The first week I wore it I had over 15 compliments and had to write it down for 3 people. Haha I would say this is not blind by safe. As it’s not a sweet coconut or sweet vanilla , if you’re just reading the notes. It does have as some say a wax candle smell. But it’s one of those that you want to wear to bed. Sleep in. Comforting and addicting to smell Also I think people go nose blind to this fast as sometimes I feel like I can’t smell it at all and others times the next day when I wake up I still smell it. I work 7am-5pm everyday and I spray it on before I leave at 6 and I still get compliments at dinner after work

This is lovely in its own right, but this doesn’t smell like Vanilla Powder to me. Nowhere near as complex and it’s a bit sweeter to my nose. There’s also a slight sharpness/screechiness there that Vanilla Powder doesn’t have. It’s not so bad that it’s unwearable - to the contrary, it’s a really beautiful coconut and the screechiness is only noticeable because I did a side by side sniff test with Vanilla Powder. If you’ve never smelled Vanilla Powder you probably won’t notice it. Again, it’s a beautiful creamy coconut , but this is not something I would buy as a Vanilla Powder alternative. It seems once my 10ml decant is done, I’ll be spending a pretty penny on the full size bottle. Fwiw, I’m reviewing this straight out of the box, so it’s quite possible that this is a legitimate dupe that just needs time to sit and blend like so many of these Middle Eastern fragrances tend to do. I‘ll update in a month or so.

This is absolutely a dupe for VP however I much prefer Zara Immortal Vanilla as it gets much closer to the original. I have all three and did a comprehensive sniff and wear test, and can now give you my thoughts. Fursan white: 90% close - Slightly more powdery & perfumey than VP - Lacks palo santo 'funk' - Requires maturation Zara Immortal Vanilla: 95% close - Slightly richer than VP (amber?) - Has palo santo 'funk' like original thanks to the salt note (love love) - Slight incense note in dry down -Excellent out the box, no maturation needed ALL THREE have excellent longevity and projection, possibly with zara and VP being the most projecting. VP is one of my favourite fragrances, so it's a rare treat for me to wear her given the insane price. I am so happy to have found a few dupes that will make it my signature daily scent

This is so so good. I was very on the fence about blind buying this fragrance. Although the notes sound like something I would like, I have the impression this is polarizing and I do tend to struggle with coconut notes in Middle Eastern fragrances. However, I’m really glad I pulled the trigger on this. It traveled through a blizzard and arrived feeling like it had spent days on a truck exposed to subzero temperatures. Despite that, within about four days of its arrival, it turned into the most smooth, creamy, woody, indescribably comforting & addictive fragrance. I can’t imagine how good this will be after settling for a few months. I’m not looking for one, but to my nose, this is signature scent worthy. I believe this can be appropriate in any situation except for summer heat. I’m currently obsessed with this.

Wow, I'm actually surprised by how much I like this scent! I blind bought this based off of reviews here and I am not disappointed. This is so much more fresh than I expected. Literally one spray in and I'm in love with it. This is one of the first perfumes I've bought from Private Blends (an Australian online store) that hasn't needed to macerate for me to be able to smell anything. This is perfect right off the bat. It's strong on the jasmine, and whilst I can definitely smell the coconut, that isn't the main focus in my opinion, but rather a background scent. Very fresh and clean, and quite strong too. The bottle is also bag friendly and I wouldn't be scared of taking this one to work with me. It's winter here but I think I've found my warm weather scent.

i just received this today (12/20/25) so this is my initial impression. i also have not smelled vanilla powder so i can't compare as a dupe. i'm very picky with coconut so i didn't consider getting this fragrance for a while, but i finally pulled the trigger and i'm glad i did! i'm admittedly not a fan of the opening-- the citrus is a bit screechy and sharp and doesn't jive well with the other notes to my nose. thankfully it only lasts a few minutes. the drydown is a warm, powdery, vanillic coconut that somehow dances on the line between gourmand and sunscreen. it's the kind of scent that i'd want to be wearing when someone hugs me, very cozy and inviting. my only complaint is that it's currently a skin scent. hopefully the performance improves over time.

Just get this if you’re thinking about it. It’s fresh, creamy, coconut, sweet vanilla - she’s beautiful! I’ve never smelt Vanilla Powder to compare, but if you can get to a Zara and enjoy Immortal Vanilla, I guarantee you will love this. The dry down is fresh and creamy. The coconut smells sunscreeny to me but I still love it. It’s a light coconut. The vanilla in the dry down keeps the musk sweet! I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist and sighing with how happy I was that I did not hate it. I always get so scared when the scent is unisex or people say it leans masculine. Happy with this blind buy, although it wasn’t completely a blind buy since I smelt Immortal Vanilla and loved it. This one smells like better quality than Zara’s version and lasts longer!

This is the best coconut, vanilla, and powdry scent I have ever smelled. It is loud, long-lasting, heavy and will suffocate the hell out of you if you let it. I choked myself out with this one at my cousin's house for NYE. I was in heaven, it smells delicious. I'm the overspray type, as I don't touch up throughout the day. I wanna smell my fragrance until I bathe it off and this Fursan White is my kinda girl. Not too sweet. Not juvenile. So unique to me. I want this to be my signature scent but I'm trying to see how I can make this happen in the warmer months. I am in love! I've seen many reviews affirming this to be spot on and I am convinced that unless the OG goes on a deep sale, I will be thoroughly satisfied having only smelled this iteration.

This is a creamy musk fragrance. I find it to be unisex, slightly fem leaning. I have never smelled Vanilla Powder, but Fursan White does smell sophisticated, well blended, and expensive. I love this fragrance so far. It is comforting and unique. The coconut and almond come across like a creamy shea butter scent for me. The floral, bergamot, and cedar keep it fresh and a little powdery. It is very musky, slightly animalic on me. A lot of reviews say it isn't very sweet, which I agree with, but the longer it is on my skin, the sweeter it gets. I am so glad I now have this in my collection as I was wanting a creamy vanilla and this one is unique and beautiful. It last forever too and I apply with a light hand with this one.

I’ve been happy with every purchase from Khadlaj so far. I’m still testing this one out and trying to identify what I love about this so much. The first day, I thought it was ok. I sprayed it on a paper towel and kept smelling it. I was drawn to it over and over. It’s very complex and interesting. I would go feral if I smelled this on my man but I also can’t get enough of it on myself. I love every note in this. I’m normally a gourmand lover, but I’m trying to branch out and I’m so happy I took a chance on this one. It’s powdery and slightly sweet. Everything is so well blended that it’s hard to identify the notes individually. I think that’s why I’m so intrigued by it.

The musk in this is pretty strong! I don't hate that, but I don't blame people that finds this fragrance unpleasant to their nose. It's a beautiful coconut-vanilla scent that is rather heavy (because of the musk, also has some powdery notes!). It's also abit nutty and fruity (faint) which gives the fragrance some depth, very enjoyable. This is good for date nights and maybe work, but wearing it to school feels weird because it's rather "too mature" for it. The atomiser is also so good! Not a safe blind buy if you don't like powdery and musky scents! But if you do (like me 😚), I think you will not want to miss this out. PS: similar DNA to mayar by Lattafa
