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.

What an absolutely smashing vanilla. It's so good. Smells like a sweeter Eau Duelle. Classy, delicious and unfussy. It has just a touch of that same baked apple pie that Spiriteuese Double Vanille has, though of course much lighter. But its lightness is also what makes it such a comfortable wear. I'm in.

This fragrance is stunning! I agree that it smells a lot like Mod Vanilla, but it has a sparkling, airy character from the citron and the heliotrope that reminds me of how the kumquat and florals in Dama Bianca feel. I will be getting a full bottle of this after I finish my travel size.

I have the perfume oil and it is lovely. It opens with a bright hit of citron and settles down into a lovely spiced vanilla with an amber base. It’s a well done, elegant vanilla. Mild projection. Was surprised to find that I could smell the fragrance on me the next day, albeit mildly.

Honestly this one smells like Sol de Janeiro 40 despite Vanille Infinie having no plum notes. The blend of sugared amber and heliotrope gives this a smooth and sweet finish that softens the base notes and highlights the top notes. It’s delicate, but I don’t get too much vanilla. 8/10

I'm a huge fan of this I wish they made it sooner! Such a great balance of fresh/juicy/bright & warm/creamy/sweet. Starts off really similar to Mod Vanilla but it transforms into something really unqiue. It's the perfect airy & fresh vanilla that I've been searching for!

This is a beautiful and refined scent. It is very elegant and classy and a subtle scent. After the dry down a slight smokiness appears, light and not offensive. This is not an overly sweet fragrance, it is office friendly and pleasant.

This is so lovely. It's such an soft and clean vanilla, somewhat along the same lines of Vanilla Woods or Golden Nectar. It's warm yet airy. The amber is quite prominent in the oil version. Adore!

this feels like shiny little sparkles to me its ssso pretty! II find it very balanced not a sickly sweet cloying vanilla love it

marshmallowy vanilla with a strong, bright lemon citrus (I find the lemon note very realistic). I like the marshmallowy vanilla, it's not overly sweet or sugary, and it has a softness or fuzziness or maybe even white muskiness that is cozy and gentle, but doesn't give me headaches (like vanilla musk by nemat) and doesn't feel synthetic or artificial. this kind of smells like a lemon poundcake. idk if it's the most "unique" scent out there, but for it's genre I quite like it and find it a better option than most (feels a bit nicer quality imo).

Not what I had expected from the reviews online, it’s quite dry and floral, but I still enjoy it. My mistake for blind buying! I don’t reach for it super often as I’m more of a sweet/creamy vanilla girl, and it’s a bit of an outlier in my collection. I really appreciate the citrus notes, and it smells divine with Choco Musk! It’s quite a sophisticated scent, and I would say it’s appropriate for the office, it’s not stifling or overpowering. Great longevity!

Opening smells a lot like mod vanilla but the dry down is a gorgeous warm amber. Definitely a skin scent so don’t expect projection. Longevity is short. ~2 hours.

This reminded me a lot of 7 virtues amber vanilla, but a lot softer. It's just a subtle amber and vanilla perfume. Straightforward and pretty

I was expecting a softer and more powdery vanilla with a little depth. Though I’m not *that* disappointed. Upon first spray, it was so citron dominant. It smelled like a lighter and airier version of Cashmere Kumquat by Korres. That note then lightens and mixes straight with the oud; which comes off as sweet (very similar to the oud in Silky Woods by G&B). This, plus the amber, might be why other people are smelling plum. Throughout the rest of the wear, I understand why people then compare it to Dama Bianca by Casamorati and MOD Vanilla by Ariana Grande. Vanille Infinie is like a hybrid of those scents, but softer. Whether it’s about projection or its scent, it is a very light fragrance. It’s spring time where I live, and wears as a very intimate scent. It might project more once it gets warmer. So for the time being, multiple sprays is the way to go. Though it’s not as powdery as I wanted, I’d say it’s bright and sparkling. But in all honesty : If you don’t like the price, just get Junoon Noir by Al Haramain (a shmoop for Dama Bianca) as it is so utterly similar to that fragrance; it’s stronger and lasts longer too, so you don’t need to spray as much.

This is a very soft, mild vanilla fragrance. It smells clean and airy, but it’s also quite faint. Unfortunately, the performance is below average, it doesn’t project much, and the longevity is also less than average. Even though the notes list oud and amber, I honestly don’t detect them at all. If they’re there, they’re only acting as subtle supporting notes deep in the background. The fragrance is overwhelmingly a light, delicate vanilla. Overall, it reminds me more of a body mist from Bath & Body Works than a full-fledged perfume. It’s pleasant and easy to wear, but if you’re looking for strong projection, lasting power, or noticeable woody depth, this probably won’t meet your expectations.

I’ve tried this twice but maybe I need to try it again. So far this is unremarkable and boring. Not in a “it smells so pleasant” boring, but the “yes man” type kind of boring. It’s like she’s trying too hard to chase the trend but she’s late to it. It’s nice enough, but bland. Every house is just jumping on the vanilla train. This feels like a “just do a vanilla cause it’s trendy” release. Doesn’t feel in line with their existing lineup. Too bad cause I like their other scents.
