Sel-Vanille

I bought this right after I have finished my bottle of YSL Libre intense, and I fell in love with it, I would say they have some similarities, while this one for me at least is more versatile scent, as it is great for day and night. I have received multiple compliments on it and some say that when they smell it it reminds them of me which I absolutely love. When I got it I also received testers of other scents by the same brand, but this one still wins my heart. I would not say that it smells very "fresh" on me at least, it is a clean vanilla with some other notes that I notice myself most of the time. Probably will repurchase it as the price is great at my perfume shop (110euro for 100ml) and it lasted almost 2 years for me while using it not everyday and mixing things up sometimes. I wish the longevity was better as I want to smell it all of the time on myself. If I had to describe the scent as a feeling I would say that it feels like you just got out of the shower and went out with your close friends for a cozy evening in a local bar. Probably that's because it reminds me of these type of evenings as I would smell this scent on my scarf.

A truly unique take on vanilla — salty, aquatic, and refreshingly different from the usual sweet, gourmand profiles. Unlike the more synthetic "Vanilla Vibes" by JHAG, this fragrance skips the coconut and nostalgic suntan lotion vibe entirely. Instead, it delivers a soft yet present vanilla that feels breezy and elegant. This is a non-edible vanilla — refined, with a delicate salt-kissed freshness that works beautifully in summer but remains versatile enough for year-round wear. It’s subtle and office-appropriate, but don’t be fooled — it has character, and it makes an impression. As someone who owns over 100 vanilla perfumes, I can confidently say this one stands out. It’s a must-have for collectors and anyone looking to explore a more distinctive vanilla profile. I also highly recommend exploring the Maison Tahité line — a fragrance house devoted to just three notes: vanilla (7 fragrances), coffee (5), and cacao (7). You're bound to find a signature scent that resonates with you. Full bottle worthy, recommended 5/5

This is vanilla for people who don’t want vanilla to behave badly. It is like the good tempered little sister to Vanilla Vibes - really just as good, but minus all the sligthly 'chaotic JHAG edges' I struggle a bit with on the wrong day. It’s airy, gently sweet and softly mineral — more “salt-kissed skin with vanilla warmth” than dessert. No icing sugar, no sharp synthetic edges, no headache territory. Just calm, elegant, quietly addictive vanilla that works year-round and layers beautifully. It’s not loud or showy, but it is VERY very wearable and refined! If you like your gourmands grown-up, restrained and a little understated, Sel Vanille is a very easy love.

Really like this one. I think vanilla is hard to do for the summertime without a ton of fruits employed, but the vanilla is done so well here. I think it’s that sage. The herbal-ness is so addicting to me, I find myself thinking about it even on days when I’m not wearing this lol. It’s SO refreshing, a little minty, and an overall relaxed effortlessly cool feel. On skin the vanilla shines. On clothes I get a lot of that jasmine. It’s a bit hard to get samples of this so I thought I’d try another marine vanilla out (Levante by Nobile), thinking they’d be similar. But NOPE, I really need that sage!

A comparison with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Coleur Vanille as they are both salty vanillas. This is a little more oceanic with a slight herbal feel to which I assume is the sage. CV is more basic to me.....just a very salty, addictive vanilla. I love both. This is just beautifully crafted...it's is linear but at the same time, it's not boring. I can not stop smelling myself. I'll wear this tomorrow to work to determine is longevity. This can definitely be worn in summer, as it's not a cloying vanilla but almost refreshing. A sexy summer night is what I imagine! Love.

This lasts forever on my skin ! Sprayed it at 2pm and still had it on my wrist the next day in the morning! ! In the beginning I am getting sweet mint freshens. That changes into salty beach vibe and Vanilla at the end lasts forever! I bought the full bottle the next day ... my husband loves it on me 😀 Edit: I was trying to figure out why I smell sweet mint and I found out it is actually sage what I smell 😀 but I literally smell delicious sweet mint chewing gum !! I spray it in my hair and the smell lasts the whole day !

Exactly what one might expect by the note breakdown and name, a light and fresh marine vanilla. Smells like watery herbals more than anything, with a dash of sea salt, a smidge of vanilla, and a touch of uplifting jasmine that gives everything a refreshing breeziness. Moderate projection for ~3hr, faint whiffs through 5-6hr, longevity 8-10hr. Sorry to say I've never put my nose to Wood Sage & Sea Salt to compare. Sure as heck beats the pants of Vanilla Vibes, though, and the performance is solid.

If you find Olympea to be too screechy and cloying and were looking for something that was more of a casual skin scent this is a very nice alternative. It's not quite as marine/aromatic as I would like, but at least it doesn't have the cloying syrupy sweet gourmand feel of Olympea. It reminds me a lot of Glasshouse Melbourne Muse, which does have an additional coffee note and is a little more floral, but if you want to try something with a similar vibe I would recommend that too

Wow, pleasant blind buy with wicked performance. A simple unadulterated vanilla with the sweetness toned down by a touch of salt on top - and just a touch of sweet syrupy peach on top. Not that you register it’s salt unless your nose is to skin. Together with a bit of amber bodying out the vanilla it simply leaves you with a mature unisex vanilla that I have yet to compare - killer longevity and sillage - I’m getting 24 hours with a large waft. 10/10 - all I could ask for

In my desperate search of the perfect summer aquatic fragrance, this has become my favorite quickly. How depressed I am that summer will soon be closing her doors on us. This is what I needed this summer, this would have healed me and fixed me. The vanilla, the herbs, the ocean air... it shouldn't make sense but it does. Like the fleeting moments of a summer fling; so salty but so sweet

This! is sex on the beach. Fresh but with a vanilla mineral depth that says 'take me' to the man you met on a tropical holiday. Whilst giving summer holiday romance vibes could easily be an anytime of year, date night fragrance for men or women. Starts fresh and aquatic but quickly sinks into vanilla warmth with woody grounding. I've just sprayed it on my man....let's see what happens

I've had this for a while now and getting to the end of the bottle. Sage dominant creamy vanilla with a touch of salt. I adore this fragrance. It's unique. Nothing quite like it and I have a huge vanilla collection. It lasts for a good 6hrs on skin and days on clothes. Can be worn in all seasons. Definitely full bottle worthy and I will be replacing mine very soon.

So smooth and creamy and yet marine/aquatic as well without those mineral notes that can get odd...a true dream combo for me. The vanilla is not super sweet which is a relief, but so very addictive and ....clean, refreshing. It's a simple scent and I'm finding it delicious. No, not gourmand delicious but a delight. It's not very strong tho, longevity...mmmm...

i have spent about 150$ over the past year buying 10ml decants of this because i am perpetually too broke to full send it and send 220 on a 100ml but my god i should just do it. love this perfume it reminds me of my childhood :) ocean air and whispers of sage & jasmine and VANILLA!!!

Creamy salty vanilla. Definitely tropical vacation scent. This scent feels like how a mermaid on a tropical island would smell, like a soft warm breeze near the sea. Makes me feel like i have been tanning my shiny skin all day near the ocean

I feel like I've been searching all my life for a vanilla fragrance like this one. It's just beautiful. Salty sweet and stunning. Good for any season. Signature worthy. Vibes are mermaid.

who doesn't wanna smell like the beach? Edit: I've had this for four months now and the salty notes have kind of disappeared? It's almost like a completely different fragrance.

It smells exactly like if you were to dip a graham cracker in ocean water and leave it out to dry. 9/10, a little sweeter than expected, but very unisex

snow on the beach... a platinum blonde mermaid ... la petite fille de la mer by vangelis as a scent... this is indeed the most perfect vanilla.

Stunner. A light vanila-y chocolate-y airy fragnance. If kinder bueno had a scent, this would be it.
