Vanilla Blackberry

I like this, although I don't think it's the strongest offering from the Lavanila line. The vanilla is wispy and soft, and I would describe the blackberry note as light, airy and musky, rather than juicy. The blackberry also gives off a slight "wine" undercurrent, which I like here. Overall, this is a lightly sweet, fruity, close to the skin scent. I found several of Lavanila's other fragrances to be exceptional...this one doesn't stand out for me in comparison. Of all the Lavanila fragrances I've tested, this one was also the most lacking in staying power.

I like this vanilla scent. The vanilla is warm and deep, and the blackberry gives it a nice cool tone. Different enough from the usual vanillas with spicy or floral notes, even the sweeter fruity ones, to warrant a spot on the vanity. People are intrigued by the blackberry... "What IS that smell?".. in a good way. Offers very little longevity and no silage, for me. Skin scent that needs to be applied several times a day- good thing I have it in roller-ball.

Strong on the blackberry scent. Not as creamy as I would have imagined. A very fruity berry scent. Smells like berry gum or something of that nature. Would use a bit in the winter. Not a favorite, but is all right. Would not buy an individual, but this came in a set. Longevity at 2 hours on me, sillage moderate while it lasts. Will try out the others. Happy smelling! :)

The good thing is that this does smell like vanilla and blackberries, or at the very least, a little bit like the blackberry vanilla scent from B&BW. However, it has no projection, and I wish that this scent was creamier and slightly less synthetic and cheap smelling. ("synthetic and cheap smelling" seems to sum up the house of Lavanila)

This is my perfect Valentine's Day scent. On me, it opens with the iris and subtle vanilla, and then the mature sweetness develops and lasts. It's not a cloying sweet at all, more like a classy, fresh, clean, and lightly sweetened jam. It is not a particularly youthful sweetness; it holds its own on this 40 year old.
