Vanilla Blossom

So, I found this at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA about a month ago when I took my son on a fun pass. I spritzed it, didn't think much about it, until on the way home I kept smelling my arm. I looked up the brand at home and couldn't find it for any cheaper than I did at Busch Gardens ($40). So, compared to my European sisters, it looks like I paid a little more but it is gorgeous! I went back to Busch Garden w/ my son today, went to "Little Italy" and spritzed some to think about it while we walked around. Upon first spritz, it was like a Bailey's Irish Creme smell and I thought-- maybe I don't need it. But as we walked around to shows and rides, it kept developing into a vanilla bean type smell that is intoxicating and warm-- not cheap and synthetic which is how most vanillas smell on me if they're not infused with a spice. I don't get powdery in this but I like powdery, so I own some heavy ones, that others might complain of. This stays pretty close to my skin and I can see wearing it in the evening (maybe adding some oud oil) or during the day to my job as a high school art teacher. When I thought about not getting it to save money (it's back to school time here), my 8 year old who loves it, convinced me by continuing to smell it, telling me I "deserved it". lol. It works great w/ my chemistry but I would consider this a safe blind buy as well.

I recently bought this at chemist warehouse for only 20 dollars Australian and this in my opinion is one of the best vanilla fragrances that I have tried in awhile,I am a massive fan of vanilla perfumes and this has to be one the the most well made and good quality vanilla perfumes out there,it is not that air freshener type vanilla nor is it super sweet but this really lovely natural type of vanilla with just the right amount of sweetness and a little bit of floral and spice to it aswell,it also has really great staying power and will last all day,the bottle is also beautiful and reminds me of the bottles they may have used in the 1920s but overall this is a great example of what a vanilla perfume should be and if you are a fan of vanilla you will love this perfume.

Una grata sorpresa! No la conocía, fui a comprar un regalo y la vendedora, con muy buen tino, me hizo probarla, me dijo:" te va a encantar" yo no soy muy amiga de la vainilla, así q pensé que no sería así... al principio sentí una vainilla rica pero nada especial, luego comencé a sentir una orquídea exquisita en mi piel, combinaba con la vainilla y otras notas que fueron apareciendo pero nunca dejó de ser la reina! Que fragancia envolvente y exquisita se convirtió en mi piel, dulce como la vainilla, fresca por algunas notas frutales y brillante y sutil como la orquídea! Me cautivó, terminé de hacer las compras, varias horas después, y la sigo sintiendo! Excelente duración. Ahora tengo que ir a comprarla! 😁 Puede no resultar para las que buscan una vainilla pura!

This is such a light, beautiful scent! For an EDT, it also has remarkable longevity on me. I was still smelling whiffs of it 12 hours after putting it on. It actually reminds me of Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidee Vanille. I smelled them side by side and the scents aren't exactly the same, but still quite similar. Vanilla Blossom is like the lighter, softer, less complex day version, while Orchidee Vanille is the darker, fuller, stronger night version of the same scent. If you wanted a version that's more appropriate for office wear, Vanilla Blossom is it. It's gorgeous, and wears very close to the skin, so somebody has to be standing right beside you to smell it. I got so many compliments on it yesterday.

This vanilla was such a pleasant surprise - smells much more expensive than it costs. Very good value for a generously sized, nice, vintage-look bottle. At first spray it’s a bit syrupy sweet and “too vanilla”, but the sweetness quickly settles giving way to a soft, subtle, true vanilla with a sultry and smoky quality. Not too sweet for me at all (and I am not a fan of sweet things). I love to wear this on a cool night at home, and it’s often my wear-to-bed fragrance. I’ve also layered it with some other scents for some really delightful results and will continue to experiment with this.
