Vanilla Musk

A nice vanilla with some musk to make it more organic and soft smelling. Personally I don't get any cake or frosting smell from it, it works really nice with my skin chemistry which brings the musk forward. When I found this it I just wanted a simple vanilla fragrance that didn't smell too much like vanilla extract (too boozy), have any florals/woods, essentially a vanilla skin scent. So this one was EXACTLY what I was looking for! This fragrance is one of my favorites!! I've gotten the most compliments out of any fragrance on this one, the sillage is strong (I do put it on both pulse points and my neck, people can smell it on me from a few feet away). The perfume version is less synthetic but the oil has lasted me over a year and is more cost friendly than the perfume. This also lasts me all day, I work a labor intensive job, a retail job, and am a college student and even after a day of 2 shifts and classes I can still smell it... so the lasting power is kind of insane considering I spend most of my days sweating. It even stays on me after showering, I've never had any other fragrance last so long (even longer than the kerosene samples I got which are notorious for their eternal scent). I usually like to wear on its own but it is a great base for layering. Tldr: lasts a long time with strong sillage!

Whenever I have this on I can't stop smelling my wrist. I didn't think I liked vanilla because I always would think of sickly sweet body sprays. The very first time I put this on, my knee jerk reaction was to think it was way too sweet for my tastes. BUT THEN I kept catching delicious whiffs whenever I moved for the rest of the evening so I went back to the store and got the bottle. A little does go a long way. It is sweet at first, from those cakey notes, but it dries down quickly and the vanilla itself takes center stage. The vanilla is sooo warm and cozy. It doesn't smell like a real life bakery but the idea of a cute painting of one in the wintertime with little woodland creatures eating the baked goods. However it still manages to smell mature and can be a little intimate or even sexy, thanks to the musk adding some depth- it's very layerable and jack-of-all-trades in a way. It's got some real staying power; I can still smell it on clothes days later and it leaves a modest trail. I recognized it on another girl while outside at a farmer's market but it was not offensive at all. I don't know it's just very well done in my opinion and it smells so good that I get like giddy when I take a deep whiff. Try it out.

I bought this after smelling it while in line at Whole Foods. Vanilla and musk together, an obvious hit. It’s a high quality sweet vanilla, it doesn’t smell like a candle but it does smell a lot like marshmallows. The white musk is clean, not dirty or animalic. Not my typical taste, I like dirty and animalic. Anyway, I bought a bottle of this for my guest bathroom some time last year. I give it a sniff occasionally when I find myself in the guest bathroom. The last couple of days, I’ve been in the mood for a change of pace and I put VM on. Major points for longevity! I don’t usually put perfume on my skin (I apply to clothes instead) because my dry skin completely absorbs even strong perfume. This oil lasts easily for 12 hours on skin, and it’s still in my hair so maybe 24+ hours in hair. Sillage is great too, my husband smelled it hours later as he entered the room I was in. Let’s talk Tihota. While Vanilla Musk *is* affordable, it’s not actually cheap. At around $20 for 10 ml, it’s actually only half the price of Tihota. Is Vanilla Musk a Tihota dupe?...I’ve never smelled Tihota because when I was looking for it it had been discontinued. I’m keen to try it to now just for comparison.

What changed the game for me with this perfume oil is applying it to my clothes!! Directly from the Nemat website, pour a small amount of this oil into your hands, rub them together and then rub on your clothes. This prevents stains and evenly distributes the scent all over. 🤯🤯🤯 My mind is blown. WITH THIS METHOD plus my method of applying the oil to my lotion and rubbing it all over my body ensures I SMELL GOOD ALL FREAKING DAY. I was already obsessed with this perfume oil but now it’s a staple and I need it in my life 25/8. It’s expensive for the little bottle. I know there’s a hack to pour this oil into a bigger bottle of unscented oil to stretch it but I have yet to try it and apply it to my clothes to see if it has the same concentration and longevity. But we shall see when I get my new bottles. This smells exactly like sweet vanilla with a musky airy quality. The musk adds something but doesn’t take away from the sweetness. Apply this to your body and then to your clothes and you’ll be getting whiffs of yourself all day like OMG I smell DELECTABLE

Oh my gosh, this is IT. This is the vanilla I’ve been searching for. I own multiple vanilla fragrances, and while I enjoyed them, I never really “got” vanilla perfumes like everyone else seemed to. Yes they smelled good, but I didn’t understand the vanilla frosting or vanilla cake comparisons to other vanilla forward fragrances like Kayali and Pacifica’s vanillas, those came off more boozy and sharp to my nose. But THIS???? I’m finally a believer in the desire to smell like vanilla frosting. This is just so soft, so yummy, so sweet, so perfect. It’s not a projector, it’s a softer oil with a hint of musk, but my gosh is this comforting. This gives me the feeling of being wrapped in a nice, soft blanket in bed, with the windows wide open during a cool summer day, and the soft breeze wafting in the yummy scent of your neighbor baking a vanilla cake. This is cake, not cookies—it’s just so soft. I am convinced the musk note and pure simplicity is contributing to my absolute goosebump-causing obsession over this. I’m addicted to say the least, lol.
