Montaigne Vanille

Other websites list the notes as: Top Notes: Grapefruit, Lemon Heart Notes: Cardamom, Caramel, Rose Base Notes: Creamy Vanilla These are exactly the notes I get from this fragrance—and the dry down is so similar to Gentle Fluidity Gold! On my skin, it’s absolutely beautiful. I clearly pick up the lemon, the caramel, the rose and that luscious creamy vanilla, with just a whisper of cardamom. The resemblance to my GFG is uncanny—am I the only one who thinks so? Either my nose is playing tricks on me, or they genuinely share that gorgeous dry down. In any case, I’m certain they would layer perfectly together. My review is based on testing this after over a month of maturation, and I’ve noticed the opening has much less of that alcohol sharpness. I’m confident it will only get smoother and richer with time. For the price I paid, this is absolutely worth it. Honestly, I think I need a backup bottle!

This is a beautiful lil accident! I was trying to buy the coconut one that the internet was saying was so amazing, (more on that one later on its own page) and purchased this my mistake! And wow when I tell yall it’s the prettiest lemony, vanilla, rose 🌹 it smells just like roses vanille. It projects for 6.5+ hours and lasts 10+ no lie I keep getting compliments at work I showered and dressed 8 hours ago. It’s a banger, I need a back up because this shall be one of those summer fragrances that’s gonna make you smell unbelievable. Just get it it’s usually $20 and it’s so worth it

It is a nice, sweet-sugary rose with vanilla and citrus. Definitely Roses Vanille on a tight budget. Perfect everyday scent, even better as a signature scent. Good longevity on skin and lasts longer on clothes. I'd say let it sit for a few weeks for better performance. It can be worn all year round; however, overspray in the cold and limit your sprays in the heat. Affordability is a welcomed plus.

I actually prefer this over Roses Vanille. The difference that I detect side by side is that in Montaigne Vanille, the rose is stronger and the vanilla is slightly less sugary. If you prefer sugary sweet and less rose, you might not like this one as much. The rose in this reminds me of the rose in initio atomic rose - not as strong and spicy, but that kind of non-sweet Turkish rose.

Imagine adding a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to a cup of rose juice and vanilla. This perfume is linear and bright—almost like a potion of happiness! It’s not the most complex scent, but it’s an easy reach whenever you want to lift your mood. Longevity is around 6 hours, but I expect this to increase after it sits for a while.
