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.

This fragrance garnered two lovely compliments from complete strangers, a year apart, in the same shop that I barely ever visit. Weird coincidence. I usually think of it as a filler fragrance, one I wear when I can't decide what to wear, but actually that doesn't do it justice. It's actually a very lovely vanilla, light, slightly powdery, slightly floral, and rather angelic. And come to think of it, it does have more than a touch of Orchidée Vanille by VC&A. It's an elegant and lovely vanilla, but not a gourmand one. Inexpensive but good quality. Lovely vintage style bottle too.

This fragrance depends on skin chemistry. It was sold for 13 Euros at TK Maxx so I didn't hesitate to buy it despite not being a vanilla fan. I sprayed it on my and my sister's wrist and the outcome is very different. On her this fragrance has a light, airy vanilla smell with a hint of floral and coco. Whilst on me it's dry vanilla, powdery-smoky which I find seductive. Either way they're both creamy but not cloying. I think my sister can pull this fragrant off during the summer days while I'd rather use it during colder weather. I'm so glad I blind bought this piece of gem!

I tried this in M&S today. Really nice. Such a shame it is only edt strength. To be fair it does hang around for a good few hours as a skin scent. It's a vanilla floral. No surprise there is vanilla and orchid notes present. There is something a little green and sappy. It's vanilla but with a floral leaning. A natural, smooth creamy sweetness. It kinda makes me think of white chocolate. A great cheapie that smells so natural and sophisticated. Good longevity and average sillage for the first hour and it retracted to skin scent for another few hours.

I definitely got the vanilla kisses by Impulse! Look, for me personally I am only picking up on the tiniest of coumarin.... maybe.... this isn't a competitor for Prada Candy but it's in the sweet gourmand category and I feel it's more light and floral. Kind of what I'd expect a vanilla floral fabric softener to smell like on the drydown. I'm not sure what orchid smells like but I'm picking up on a floral note, possibly Iris or something I've smelled in an iris fragrance in the past.... either way, I love this for bed. It's super super easy to wear.

This is a beautiful and complex vanilla scent - not too sweet so perfectly unisex. It's a great snuggly comforting fragrance, and so very European. At $20 at Chemist Warehouse - this is an excellent buy, it performs beautifully and is a great dupe for Cologne of the Missions Le Couvent des Minimes for women and men. I hope they continue to stock this lovely line - classy looking bottles, great scents and a perfect little treat for a fragrance lover. Stock up now just in case - I have!

For some reason i am obsessed with this perfume, i got it in a random vanilla bundle from another seller and now i have 2 backup bottles. It’s nothing special but so pleasant, you want to keep smelling it. It’s only 10€ for 100 ml which justifies it in every way possible. Lasts about 4 hours on me but im totally ok with it since it’s a daytime perfume. Very different from my beloved vanilla 28 which too has orchid and vanilla but maybe this combination speaks out to me

I blind bought this because I loved the bottle and I am so glad I did... I'm just now getting myself into vanilla fragrances and this was warm, cozy, and a bit boozy. I loved it! On my skin I can barely smell any floral notes and I mainly smell vanilla, but some people here say the opposite— I guess it boils down to skin chemistry. I will say it's not very wearable in the summer, but once winter hits this will be my go-to.

Wasn't expecting to fall in love *but*..tried this and it smells exactly like a deeper version of a vanilla Impulse body spray I used to have in the 90's! (it used to be my fave one). Absolutely gorgeous sweet creamy warm fruity vanilla and lasted at least 8 hours on my wrist kept wafting over me when I moved my arm. WANT!! :) (I had added this review to the wrong perfume, Vanilla Ambree, also from M&S oops got confused)

I bought this as a blind buy - the bottle is cute and I love vanilla so I was sold. It is extremely close to Fragonards Fleur d'Vanille which is one of my favorite perfumes but I wear it sparingly as I don't want to use it all when I can't get it shipped to NZ. It is slightly more powdery and a little fruitier and the sillage is not as strong but overall a pretty close - much cheaper - Dupe.

This is a delightful perfume of Vanilla flowers and a slight green sharpness from the leaves. Opens with a burst of Candy Vanilla and Fresh Green Leaves. Once it warms on your skin it becomes a beautiful mix of creamy Vanilla and warm Musk. Monotheme make some amazing perfumes at a budget price, this would have to be my favourite so far.

I love it, it's not one of those sickeningly sweet vanilla perfumes that smell more like candy. And I think its versatile in a way that it's more floral and light compared to most vanilla fragrances, so you're able to wear it even when the weather is warmer. It's the perfect blend of vanilla and floral notes.

i love this perfume but this 1 is sai thats use only for woman biut there is nothing wrong when man using this vanilla blossom perfume its good and nice smell make my friends wonder whats smell is thats.and its 10000000000000% good for man also..please change the advertisement to man and women..

This smells so good. I am comparing the dry down to Burberry Goddess. It's comforting and has made me feel so good all day. Yes I've done few resprays but for $20 aud its great everyday vanilla. Kind of smells like Palmers Cocoa Butter body lotion which is perfect l.

My father got me this as a gift, LOVE IT! I can't get enough of it in all honesty, it's simply....Ellegant! I feel elegant when I'm wearing it even if I'm in my pyjama

I love this vanilla perfume it is always a pleasure when I smell it.. it does boost my mood up and makes me feel cozy.
