Feu De Bengale

This is divine! I am having trouble finding a bottle anywhere in the USA though, so if someone knows would you please message me? This isn't gourmand but it's almost there. The Davana doesn't make this bitter. Every note meshes so well together. I also don't think it smells like Orchidee Vanilla, which I have too. It does remind me of Lann-Ael by LostMarch though, so if you love that one I think you'd love this too. I get the vanilla, almonds tonka and musk. I get no fig. Q80 below said it reminds him of Cuir Ottoman but I get no leather at all here (thankfully). The tolu balsam isn't heavy or deep. The entire perfume is so perfect and well rounded.

One of my favorite vanilla frags, together with Lune Feline. Feu De Bengale smells of soft and velvety vanilla to me. It gives me a slight cola vibe, maybe it's because of the orange? Similar to the reviewer below, I've had my bottle now for probably 7 months and for sure I feel that it's much better now in every aspect. Initially, I thought it was very weak, but not anymore. Overall I feel that it's very high quality and not too sweet. Looking forward to trying out more of this house eventually.

This the most gorgeous vanilla of life! The dry down is so gorgeous, I can’t stop smelling my wrists! I can’t believe so many little people know of it! It deserves so much more attention than it gets. I reminds me of Tihota a bit and a little of Van cleef arpels orchadee Vanille, it’s like those two had a baby🤣 it’s gorgeous and worth every penny in my opinion.

So so good. This is what Dama Bianca smelt like in my head. Super sweet fluffy vanilla, it’s sugary with a powdery iris kick. In the dry down, it's similar to SDJ Cheirosa 40. I love it!!

Almost jumped on this hype train and was going to blind buy a FB, but glad I got a decant first. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice smooth quality fragrance and the bottle is beautiful. I find it like a more woody, herbal, almond, less sweet, balmy, resinous, warm, complex, less vanillic version of Orchidee on skin. Considering the price, shipping and customs on top, I'll be just fine with Orchidee- its more simplistic and gourmand!
