Vanille Eau de Parfum

Interesting scent. It's a good plain-ish vanilla, but it's not perfect. When you smell it close up, it smells a bit like black/burnt rubber. It's not that it's watery/bitter like cheap vanilla scents, but it smells like a particular type of plastic or even asphalt. Other things I'd compare it to is burnt candle wicks or the black Mr.Sketch scented marker. I wouldn't call it a powdery vanilla though. From far away, it smells a little like a vanilla candle...it's quite gourmand, but not cloying. I think I might be a little anosmic to it actually, but I'm a little anosmic to Hypnotic Poison as well, and from what I've heard, Hypnotic Poison is cloying to many others. Edit: Ooh, this actually is pretty long lasting, but sillage is not the best. It does become more powdery as is dries down, but in a sweet, non-irritating way. I enjoy it.

Think of the most luxurious gastronomical vanilla pastry. Something so yummy that you'd still dream about it for years. Litteraly exploring every aspect of vanilla. It is gourmand, sweet, warm and comforting. I wear it when I want to take my time around a coffee and some warm lights, during winter or any cold times. If you don't want to be disgusted by this perfectly sweet scent, definitely don't wear it during a hot day, neither during summer, it can cause you nausea to smell something as gourmand as this scent. Niche quality bottle and scent, It lasts during a long period of time. One of the best vanilla extract I ever smelled in my entire lifetime, not sure that something will take the spot of the most vanilla-ish vanillas. 9/10 I feel like my skin is edible when wearing this mouth-watering scent !!

Sugar, sugar, how you get so fly? Years ago I had a bottle of Alyssa Ashley's Vanilla. I wore it during my first year in college and it was the perfume that started my obsession with sweet scents and vanilla note in particular. This perfume instantly reminded me of those good old times and I absolutely adore it. The Vanilla is very sugar-ish and candy-like, slightly artificial, but not cloying. I hoped for some darker notes, since it is presented as unisex perfume. However, Molinard's Vanilla is lovely and feminine scent that lasts between 3-4 hours. Not overpowering and it stays close to my skin. My profession includes working with children and I have never before received so many compliments on a perfume. They say I smell like cotton candy and cake. :) PS: The bottle is beautiful.

A delicious warm vanilla gourmand, sweet but not cloying. Creamy with some caramel and white chocolate notes. It reminds me of a vanilla body spray from Bath & Body Works that I had in the 90's. I had to use a lot of this to be able to feel like it wasn't fading off me right away. Scent stays close to the skin on me--very low sillage. This could just be my chemistry, though; my sister sprayed it on her wrists and I could smell it on her all evening. I love this, but since I need to use a lot to be able to smell it on myself, I have a feeling I'll be going through it very quickly. Good thing it's a big bottle.

Excellent in every way. It's a straightforwardly delicious vanilla with a subtle complementary base that accentuates the delicious vanilla. Performance is outstanding. I gifted this at 8 am and it is 2 pm and vanilla is still pinging my nostrils from the lone spray I stole for my wrist. Feminine only in the sense that most men aren't going to want to smell like a marshmallow, but if you like vanilla I say go for it. You're not going to find a better vanilla for the money.

Basically like I walked into my kitchen and opened the bottle of vanilla extract. Kinda warm, kinda boozy, edible vanilla. Simple and straightforward, if that's what you're going for. A most pure vanilla at a most appealing price. Moderately soft projection for 3-4hr fades to skin over 5-6hr, longevity 8-10hr.

A linear fragrance of sweet, sugared vanilla gourmand. Feminine, elegant, and well-balanced, it offers excellent quality with longevity and sillage lasting throughout the day. Beautiful and a true pleasure to wear.

The opening smells a bit like cake batter, or novelty lip balm, but when it dries down becomes a beautifully soft, balsamic vanilla! It has a slight smokiness that makes me think there might be some benzoin in it.

vanille parfaite, chaude, sensuelle, réconfortante, sucrée, j'adore ce parfum qui a en plus une très bonne tenue et un sillage certain (appliqué sur les v^tements) je le recommande sans hésiter

i sprayed this on my skin before I went to sleep yesterday and it was still there when I woke up! i love it. a sweet and deep Madagascan vanilla that keeps vanilla simple and sweet. perfect.

A blind buy for me as I am fond of vanilla scents. This is really lovely, a beautiful warm vanilla. A pleasure to wear from beginning to end. I will definitely repurchase.

The most simple vanilla fragrance I've ever smelled. Very natural. Sweet vanilla buttercream icing.

I'm a big fan of vanilla. I've been looking for something similar to Perry Ellis black vanilla absolute. I love it's mature, boozy, masculine take on vanilla without all sorts of weird notes added to make it more "interesting.". Just a mature, masculine, plainish vanilla. Well, this is not it. It says for men and women but it's awfully sweet for men. Don't get me wrong, it smells great! A somewhat powdery, sweet vanilla absent of the aforementioned "interesting" notes. As a vanilla lover, I love just smelling it and sometimes spray it as an air freshener in my bedroom. But it is very feminine with that cupcake sweet take on vanilla. Even though I can't really use it because it's too sweet, that doesn't mean it's cheap. No, no. This smells high quality and has a real depth to it that cheap fragrances don't have. It's deep and rich, very rich. I still have a use for it, actually. I mix it (half, light spray!) with other cologne with vanilla base notes, like my Tummy Bahama St. Bart s for example. The vanilla base note in it is kind of slight (to me anyways) so just a half spray of this mixed in sets off the vanilla. Except for the holidays, I'm not sure I'd wear this by itself as it really is just too sweet.

I could sniff vanilla all day. It can stand alone or layer with just about anything. That depends on what kind of vanilla. This one reminds me of the Watkins vanilla and Wilson buttercream icing recipe but short on confectioners sugar. Sits close to the skin but radiates a little dark and warm but not quite creamy enough for a creme brulee. I'm going to love this in the Fall and hope it will mesh with my Vanille Fruitee and give both a little more bouquet. This one deserves some recognition since it's so wearable and pleasant and thankfully missing the plastic doll smell (I know someone who only collects that very smell but I'm too old for that. lol) but anyway...really like it but still in love with my Sucre Noir.

I tossed this sample in for free to get free shipping on a decant order. My husband is a sucker for vanilla so I thought he might like me to try this. A surprising good vanilla at a reasonable price point. Smells exactly like jello brand vanilla pudding mix. This would be a good layering perfume or on its own. I'm not a big fan of this type of vanilla but I'm glad that I sampled it because I have lots of friends and family that would Love 💕 this one. Molinard Vanilla will be an excellent gift for quite a few loved ones come this Christmas season. If you like the smell of Vanilla pudding mix and like smelling like it this is a good way to go and you won't break the bank.

Nice, cozy, soft, natural vanilla. Fairly simple and linear. Faintly sweet but not overly so. Might be cloying in summers. I've never been a vanilla lover, tho I'm warming up to it, but this one is nice. It would work well as a layering fragrance for those who love vanilla. It's August of 2022, but when it gets colder, I might try layering it with some of my more cold weather frags like Boucheron Jaipur or Gravitas Pour Homme, both of which have vanilla already. It's nice but not a bottle buy for me. Scent: 7 / Sillage: 7 / Longevity: 7

A thin, transparent vanilla; sweet but not overbearing This is a vanilla you could wear in warm weather; not too heavy, not too light, it’s just right. I don’t dislike his one, but it doesn’t feel finished to me. Of my samples from Molinard, its one of the least appealing. Even though no other notes are listed I was expecting to pick up on something....anything.....but no.....nothing but vanilla. (I am getting over a cold, so maybe my nose is not detecting the nuances.)

As all the reviewers have already said, this is linear and simplistic vanilla scent, powdery and bakery vanilla, close to the skin and a bit synthetic. It’s pleasant but disappears in an hour on me. I blind bought it and will keep it only to be my bed scent or to experiment with layering. Molinard’s Patchouli has eaten it up though. To me it’s almost the same as Bare Vanilla body mist by Victoria’s Secret. I’d say that Bare Vanilla has better longevity and is cheaper.

Very, very close to Vanille Patchouli, though I think I prefer the thyme-like herbal edge that makes the latter more interesting. Also bears considerable similarity to Al Rehab Choco Musk, minus the subtle hot cocoa powder accord. Love the smell of this on a woman. On a man, I think it's more useful as a base to add sweetness and depth to a colder or more smoky scent.

A very beautiful vanilla, very simple, very sweet, very enveloping. I find it regressive and gourmand but not too much and without falling into an overdose of sugar. No bad surprises here for lovers of this type of vanilla, quite the contrary. No plastic smell either as is sometimes the case with vanilla perfumes, here it's real vanilla. A very nice discovery.
