Vanilla Freesia

During a recent trip to Zakynthos, Greece, I have discovered Korres, which is a Greek brand that makes and sells skincare, body care and perfumes. At least that’s what I discovered so far from them. I have sampled a few of their fragrances, they have a good range, varying from fresh floral to gourmand, marine, woody and vanilla focused. Case in point, Vanilla Freesia. Which is actually more of vanilla plus peach, green tea, jasmine and patchouli. Yes, it does have hints of freesia flower, litchi and bergamot but it’s mostly a fruitychouli with a good dose of vanilla. A perfume for the sweet, gourmands lovers. That don’t mind patchouli too, it’s quite prominent. All their fragrances are EDT concentration and come in 50 ml bottle around 33 euros per bottle. For the price, Vanilla Freesia is totally worth it. Compared to few other I have sampled, this othe most longer lasting and the most projecting one. Might worth get a bottle, I really do like Vanilla Freesia!

i think this might be my new favourite! i like it because despite it saying it's floral it kind of just smells like a verrryyyy soft vanilla on me? a lot of vanilla scents get a bit too sweet quickly but this one is really polite! the opening notes are fun and they aren't too florally, plus i really love the drydown. buying this was an impulse decision but it might be the best one i've ever made!!

I enjoy this scent and it lasts a long time on my skin, the sillage is good, enough for others to notice it, but not intimidating. I can smell it after6 hours. It is high quality EDT, no phthalates, no parabens. It is sweet fresh vanilla. The bottle is beautiful and elegant. I like the poetry or story printed on the back of the bottle.

Reminds me a lot of Flowerbomb with hint of vanilla or sweeter version of OG Cat deluxe original. Due to tea scent it also reminds me of Playboy Play it sexy, but less spicy more vanilla. It is starting as vanilla and freesia going into sweet tea scent.

One of my new favourite perfumes. I love how fresh this smells, it's the right amount of sweetness for my taste and it's long-lasting on me.

I just randomly sprayed this perfume at the store, not expecting anything but suddenly my nose was smelling Flowerbomb. Two hours later I even smell a tinyyy hint of Delina. To break this down: When you first spray this, the most prominent notes are Vanilla, Peach and Tea and just an almost identical copy of Flowerbomb. Now it’s been about 2 hours since the initial spray and the most prominent notes to me are Vanilla, Litchi and Tea and this now smells like the sister of Flowerbomb with something in it that reminds me a a tinyyy bit of Delina as well. Overall I think it’s definitely a really pretty perfume, but I do prefer the actual Flowerbomb and Delina. I would give it a 7.5/10.

I like it, it's a flowery-sweet smell that works in most seasons imo (a bit less for winter). The scent lasts quite well on my skin. I did 2 sprays on my elbow and i kept smelling it all day. I didn't have anyone around to ask for their opinion but i'd say it radiates quite well based on how strong i smelled it. It's a bit sweeter than i expected, but it's still ok for me. The freesia part has a bit of 'green notes' too and is a sadly overpowered by sweet vanilla (i adore freesias so i hoped i'd get more of it 🥲). Overall i like it but i wouldn't recommend it if you don't like sweet and/or floral perfumes

For me, the opening features a strong patchouli note, along with the freesia. The vanilla comes out more in the drydown, and I get some of the peach as well. This is honestly quite nice and well-performing for the price. It's certainly not the most original scent I've ever smelled, and it smells very familiar in fact, but I like it for what it is, which is a relatively cheap perfume that's perfect to bring in your bag - whether you're going for lunch with friends, heading into a meeting for work, going out to the club or even just hanging by the beach. I like it! A solid 8/10 for me.

cant speak to the notes or the smell alikes, but for me this is a very simplictic foodie vanilla. its a bit warm in the way vanilla is out the bottle. thats about it for me really. soft, more foodie than not, very slight fruit of some kind, though not a fruity scent. i am at the 4-5 hour mark and the scent is still decent on my skin

This is a slightly better version of Flowerbomb. It’s a bit fruitier but essentially flowerbomb. It has no pear but I also think someone that likes La Vie est Belle would like this one. At first I didn’t get the patchouli so much but I get it much more now. It’s a much better Flowerbomb to me that’s all I can really say.

Really beautiful good quality scent, especially for those who love vanilla, but don’t want to be overwhelmed or suffocate on hotter days. It’s not the heavy, creamy vanilla kind, more like drinking a refreshing iced tea with vanilla, in a garden of spring fruit and flowers

Best thing to spray in the bathroom after a bath or a decent sized dump.

This is an ultra candy sweet, straight up dry powdery peach. Dried out peach, vanilla and freesia is all I get, no tea or bergamot to lighten and brighten. I really dislike it, it's so sickly. It isn't a projection bomb but it does last and last, I got eight hours from it and wished it would hurry up and disappear. I own, love and regularly wear Flowerbomb EDP, EDT and Extreme and this smells nothing at all like them. Their sweetness is better blended, more warm and rounded. This is very linear and doesn't change over time. The rose note lifts the FB composition in my view. So if you are looking for a cheaper dupe for Flowerbomb this isn't it. If you like the Ruby Orchid Flowerbomb though, go right ahead. That has a very similar ultra sweet peach drydown. While I personally don't like this perfume, it is strong and long lasting and a very reasonable price I'm just disappointed it isn't the OG Flowerbomb dupe I was hoping for.

Spicy vanilla, a little musk and slight sugary notes when sprayed - I do love this scent but it just immediately disappears on my skin. I've tried layering it and using as a hair mist but nothing really helps. Such a shame as I have been looking for an affordable long lasting spiced vanilla for a while and thought this might be it.

To my nose, this is very earl grey tea vibes, which I don’t hate as an avid lover of earl grey. It’s nice and sweet but more fresh sweet. I don’t reach for it much, but it’s definitely nice and the price is great. Also not bad longevity for an EDT.

Musty potpourri at Grandpa's house. Spice and spice and musty old refrigerator with a touch of dollar store vanilla room deodorizer. Overpriced for what you get in my opinion.

smells kind of like a hospital.... a little hokey... pokey... generic...

A lovely, sweet (but in a fresh, not gourmand way), well-balanced, vanilla-forward fragrance for the first 30 minutes or so. The tea/freesia combo overtakes the fruits after 30 minutes or so, after which it is reasonably linear. Extremely intimate, people around me have needed to sniff my skin deeply to smell anything even with 5 sprays, and it's easily overpowered by a shampoo or bodywash. Very little patchouli and very light, I like to wear this before bed or as an overpriced clothes/pillow spray. On clothes, it retains some freshness and litchi juiciness, and stays for 12+ hours with low projection and extremely low/no silage. Unfortunately, the dry-down is awful on my skin. After 1-2 hours it takes on a highly artificial creamy sweetness, like a mix between dolls head plastic and babies. After 2-3 hours it starts to smell like muted rubber, like an old hair tie left in the damp. I can't for the life of me identify what the off-note is, patchouli, musk, jasmine, peach, and vanillas tend to play nicely on my skin. Thank god for its poor projection! I haven't heard anyone else mention this so I assume it's a me problem, but definitely try before you buy!

This fragrance is pretty. Its quite vanillaey and sweet with a subtle patchouli. Cant smell much more. But...it's impossible to get the ingredients of Korres fragrances any more. That being said l think this perfume can easily be too much in late spring summer. Its very dense and sweet and i think better for Autumn and winter. I also dont think this is office safe.

Way too syrupy sweet and way too much patchouli.
