No.15 Vanille Infinie

Just tested 10 perfumes at Sephora (with the intent of buying Afterglow by PHLUR) and out of all the boring, stale, fleeting, and mushy perfumes I tried, this is the one that stood out. It was the 2nd one I sprayed on a test strip, and it was immediately distinguishable each time I went back to smell all my testers. Usually I’m going back n forth between them questioning which one is which...either because it’s so faint, or so unremarkable. I’m not claiming that this is a never-done-before profile, or even particularly unique...but it’s distinct, and it is lovely! Such a nice blend of being airy, cozy, softly sweet & slightly bright (bright like lemon custard, rather than fresh squeezed lemon,) all at the same time. I disagree with the commenters below. The ONLY other perfume, in Sephora at least, that smells remotely like this, is 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods (not at all Mod Vanilla). If you’re someone who likes the smell of 7V VW, but it pulls ciggy 🚬 on your skin, I’d consider trying this one out. I think the lack of caramel & rose, plus the addition of citrus, may help that issue!

Got a carded sample in my Ipsy. As soon as I sprayed this it smelled familiar. At first I thought Dama Bianca, then the wedding silk Santal, then gentle fluidity gold. I have all of those and it’s brighter then dama Bianca, sweeter then the wedding silk Santal and missing the juniper that’s in gentle fluidity gold but it’s honestly similar to all in my opinion. It feels like it’s a blend of all of those with maybe a touch of roses vanille (ran out of space to test) and would be redundant in my collection but I think I still need a bottle. A bright airy vanilla, absolutely gorgeous. Definitely a familiar DNA though so if you don’t want doubles and have some of the aforementioned fragrances you might want to skip. I’m not getting any oud and I’m pretty sensitive to oud so not sure where that came from but if you hate oud I’d still try this.

Roll my eyes back into my head obsessed, utterly captivating, perfect vanilla scent. It makes me speechless. It clutches at my heartstrings. It grabs me firmly on both shoulders then pulls me into the best hug I’ve ever had. It’s not too sweet, a bit mature, so utterly lovely. I think the vanilla, cashmeran, and amber combo just makes warmth spread through my chest. I wish it lasted a little longer, but I'll enjoy refreshing every chance I get.

This is PERFECTION! When I say I smelt this, let out a little squeal and immediately decluttered my collection because I have finally found the one! I wish it was stronger/lasted longer but I am buying multiple back up bottles to carry this around with me. Praying this is never discontinued/reformulated 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I don't normally like lemon or citrus in fragrances but this is delicious. A slightly syrupy warm vanilla fragrance for summer, and vegan too. There is something Bath and Body Works-esque about this but not in a bad way, like a much higher quality Vanilla Ease/Rare Beauty Rare. Now I have to get a bottle.
