Vanilla Park

cloth test: top: a waft of mouthwateringly delicious bourbon vanilla backed by golden wood that borders on burnt sugar middle: the vanilla is tinged with chocolate base: the really specific flavor of the slightly carmelized corner of a baked custard This is a gourmand and I want to eat it with a spoon. For dessert, and breakfast, and second breakfast. skin test: I love it. I'm putting this directly on my November tray in the Gourmands section. I want a whole bottle. I want to drink the bottle, with some hot cocoa and whipped cream. I want to spray it on my shawl so I can discretely sniff my shoulder. I want to roll in it like a kittycat rolling in fall leaves on a warm concrete sidewalk. Does this come in a lotion. Does this come in a soap. Does this come in a giant steampunk elephant with an elegant white vanilla orchid saddle, who will spray Vanilla Park from his trunk? Because I will ride him about town.

Maison Tahite, your fans appreciate the artistry, and for the price point, we truly believe you could offer a pressurized atomizer worthy of your beautiful fragrances. Regarding Vanilla Park, it initially opens with a noticeable alcohol burst. However, this quickly mellows, allowing a beautiful creamy coconut milk and burned sugar note to take center stage. This isn't your typical overly sweet or candy-like (cloying) gourmand; instead, it's a mature and refined scent perfect for Fall and Winter. The addition of a woody benzoin note lends a delightful warmth, making this vanilla fragrance exceptionally comforting. It also boasts very nice sillage.

Love this fragrance ! Love at first sniff! Bought it after smelling it for 45 mins at a niche store ! Beautiful beast mode vanilla caramel cotton candy gourmand ! The dry down is like a buttery caramel vanilla ! This lasts for ever ! A lot stronger than Bianco latte so spray easy ! Ps this smells nothing like Bianco latte it is extremely unique ! As this projects big and has enormous sillage ! My favourite release this year by a mile !

In the opening I smell cotton candy and maple syrup. . I am not smelling anything burnt or weird. On the dry down you get a lot of waffle syrup, vanilla and caramel pudding, and the cotton candy stays all the way through. . It’s a win for me! I love it. My husband even commented I smelled like cotton candy today! This projects well with just one spray and is long lasting. A little synthetic but still strong and sweet.

Definitely get the maple syrup that others have mentioned, but i quite like this. The opening is terribly synthetic, but after an hour or so this dries down to a nice smooth vanilla with a maple underone. Nothing to stand out from other vanillas particularly but not as bad as people are suggesting.

Smells like a summertime evening at a carnival. I smell sweet vanilla, caramel, cotton candy, and a little bit of smokiness. Simply delicious. May have just became one of my favorites in my collection! Only problem for me is that it sits very close to the skin.

I love it, but I love cotton candy and sweet vanilla and don’t mind smelling “like a candle”. My husband said it smelled like a werther’s original candy though, so take that how you will

Really like this one! It is a maple-y, balsamic, vanilla with a cotton candy note present. It does have a smokiness at the opening, but it mostly dries away. I will say though, I am not usually a smoky fragrance girlie, but this smoky note works for me. It's a balsamic, woodsy smokey rather than burning fire or tobacco smoky. This will be a fall staple for me this year, I can already tell. It does not smell like candle to me, which I am seeing some people say they are getting from it. I can understand why, but it's not my experience with it. Not really similar to anything else I have. I also appreciate that the balsamic maple smell lingers throughout the wear and it doesn't dry into just a vanilla. Really really good!

“The Last Evening. The last story, the last carnival... And you dreaming As the merry-go-round goes...” Vanilla Park is a fragrance with vanilla as main protagonist, which I really liked. It is a very well balanced vanilla, not too sweet, rather with a bitter touch, exalted by the creaminess of the coconut that mellows out the scent. Closing your eyes, you also get the faraway aroma of cotton candy, which gives us in this symphony of notes that comforting but melancholy feeling at the same time. I really liked it, wonderful in this season. Excellent sillage and lastingness. “Sky Blue” painted by Kandinsky.

This Profumes it literally like entering an amusement Park near a cotton candy stand. It's extremely sweet. On me it gives marshmallow on a camp fire after hours it gets more liquorice candy like. And the "end" it like a strong caramel sent. It's overwhelming, two pump is more than enough. The sillage is absurd.

Vanilla Park took me on a journey. The opening is loud and very maple-forward. So much so that my husband asked, “Who’s making pancakes?” No one, sir. It was me. I was the pancake. As it dried down, it became genuinely beautiful. The syrup calmed and a soft, creamy vanilla emerged. Cozy, airy, almost cotton-candy-like. This is where I really enjoyed it and couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist. Unfortunately, while I was having my quiet vanilla moment, everyone around me was still smelling maple syrup. And they were very vocal about it. Over. And over. And over again. Which completely disrupted my enjoyment because while I was in vanilla heaven, the room thought I smelled like breakfast. This fragrance is nuclear. One spray is more than enough. Projection is strong, and it lasted all day on my skin with ease. Final thoughts Strong maple opening Beautiful vanilla dry down Beast-mode longevity Spray lightly and with intention Great for gourmand lovers who enjoy bold, sweet scents. Proceed carefully if maple notes aren’t your thing.

If eating cotton candy around a campfire was a perfume. Personally, it’s too cloying for me wear, but smelling my little sample makes me happy lol!

Came here to see if anyone else picks up a maple syrup note.... And ya’ll, I feel validated! Too sweet for me.

It's ok. I get slightly burnt vanilla-sugar on my skin. Not as good as Tihota, not as bad as Van Exstasyx.

It’s nice but for some reason I’m just getting a very strong maple syrup note.

The more I try to wear this the less I like it. It smells like an elderly man blowing vanilla pipe tobacco smoke into your face as you’re waiting in line for cotton candy at the fair. As you leave the breeze carries the scent of burnt funnel cake cooked in old oil before your attention is pulled to a sticky soda covered bounce house that wafts pungent fumes into the air. So basically a nightmare fairgrounds.

I love sweet gourmands but this one is entirely too sweet & cloying. A scrubber, gave me a headache.

Terrible. I am a gourmand hater and this is the epitome of scents that I hate. Sticky, caramel, vanilla, sugar. I am actually surprised caramel is not in the notes here; maybe the vanilla, lactonic coconut, and the resins mimic caramel somehow. I don't get any tangerine, which disappoints me because it might have given me a little relief from all the sweetness. I don't really get the wood, heliotrope, or the coconut, but maybe there're in there somewhere. Others have said it has a maple syrup note, and I sort of smell a whisper of that too. I can't believe someone would want to smell this way on purpose, but if that's you, you might like this (though it seems even the gourmand girlies in the comments are not a huge fan). It's not horribly blended or anything, it seems smooth even it's something of a caramel-filled frying pan to the face. The bottle also looks like a vial of medication for a syringe. For me, 1.5/10.

I’m a collector & a glutton for blind buy punishment. I have PLENTY to swap for her- I wanna be ‘The🍁Queen’ - “know what I mean?” Why do I have SO many beloved fragrances that are actually quite desirable & (*most) that are missing less than a carded sample’s worth of juice & come with their box (& their cap too!) ? Most may ask, & the answer is pretty simple. I cannot perceive/ smell ambroxan & this does NOT just mean that Baccarat just isn’t going to be the right fragrance for me, au contraire mon frere! As a gourmand lover of ALL the sweet smells this is my Achilles heel as a fragrance enthusiast- my heart breaking 💔’kryptonite’. The following are not only specific examples of scents that I can’t smell (not as intended, not as ANYONE would intend for ANY parfum to smell!) ... yet I continue to blind buy 🙄, my obsession based resolution for this new year is to buy well priced bundles of samples & discovery kits that are missing a sample or 2. I digress as that has little to do with all the full flacons I have to swap because I can’t enjoy them myself ☹️. 📍 ‘Bianco Latte’ xGiardini de Toscana 📍 ‘Thomas Kosmala No 4 Candy’ 📍 ‘Cloud ☁️ Candy’ (the YBM doop for warmer weather w/ plenty marshmallow but not so lactonic as the OG or other schmoops) 📍’Rayhaan 💋 Kiss’ (technically NOT a doop??! Only it IS, with a few ‘twists’ on the OG that make it the YBM doop for colder weather) 📍’Dust of Delight’ xDua (*2*, 1.5 years aged & strong 💪 w/ darker juice... the OG is weak 😭) 📍‘Marshmallow Dream’ xDua (*2* also 1.5 years matured & oxidized w/ beautiful amber colored juice) & SO.MANY.MORE❣️I’m 👀 for offers of scents that you don’t believe have ambroxan within (I swear - you won’t be publicly flogged & humiliated if they do happen to be ambrox inclusive) I AM getting better at flagging scents that are known to incl. ambrox or those that likely contain ambrox- don’t fret! Also, I do not want scents that have that unmistakable ‘masculine accord’, whatever it is matters not as we can ALL associate it with barber 💈 shops, machining businesses & the like, if you aren’t sure- run it by me 🤷♀️ why the hell not, right? I am a proudly legitimate seller w/ more than ample proof in several forms. I have a 24 yr old, 100% positive feedback eBay account that I will give you my ID for for your perusal (for vetting only rn, no active listings... I’m trying to swap instead & alleviate the need for an expensive ‘middle man’) here you can send a DM & I will answer so you can rest easy knowing I’m not a con artist 🙂 🤙 hmu!

This is my first time wearing this but I’m loving it so far. I got the Smoky smell in the opening. It reminded me of bohemian oud by zara without the oud. This is syrup, cotton candy, caramel for people that don’t usually like these scents. It reminds me of Vanilla Brûlée, but I didn’t care for that one. It was too dense imo. This is more aromatic. The styrax note scared me. That one can go corn chips on me sometimes, but it works here. It keeps everything grounded. This is toasted sugar but it’s not quite burnt. I get the coconut but it gels well with stytax and gives more butter than coconut...similar to kayali’s vanilla oud. I’m guessing that’s the benzion too. It’s so aromatic that it doesn’t quite go gourmand, but it’s all there. I love the scent bubbles this house create. I never go nose blind to their scents. This will be good for layering. Edit: this reminds me of homemade caramel you make for cake. When I was a kid my mom attempted to make my grandmas caramel cake (and failed lol). She left the measuring cup of her overcooked caramel in the fridge. It crystallized and was like this caramel crust...I was little and kept dipping my finger in it, but I couldn’t see how much was left. My mom was pissed when she realized I ate it all (I was shocked too lol). I love how scents can take you back to certain moments. That oops caramel was sooo good. This smells how it tasted
