Madagascar Vanilla

This is a really solid vanilla. It stays very close to the skin, but lasts an impressive amount of time. Today I sprayed some of this on the top side of my arm and JHAG Juliette on the bottom. Hours later, Juliette is completely gone, as if I had never sprayed it, while Madagascar Vanilla is still going strong. Not that these are necessarily the best fragrances to directly compare, just what I had happened to try at the store today. I could see myself wearing this a lot. It's simple but honestly might be perfect. I like this a lot more than Vanilla Bourbon, which turns very powdery on my skin. This stays just smelling like a gorgeous vanilla with a hint of coconut. I cannot fathom someone thinking this smells "bad" unless they somehow truly hate vanilla. Edit: I sprayed too much of it and made myself tired of it 😭 Still a love but I need some time away... Edit 2: I got a tiny roller ball of the oil from Sephora, and I feel like it's a powder bomb! I remember the perfume smelling so much better. I have terrible luck with perfume oils.

Gosh, this is lovely! A very feminine vanilla. It’s creamy, elegant, and feels instantly polished. The opening orchid note does throw me off a little, but once it settles, it turns into this dreamy, sophisticated scent with just the right touch of freshness. Not juvenile, not cloying, just pure vanilla perfection. It’s not too sickly or overly foodie. Instead, it’s clean, warm, and addictive, the kind of scent that makes you feel put together without trying. I can’t stop smelling my wrist every time I wear it. I think I’ll be treating myself to a full bottle of this on payday as I'm going through my sample like there's no tomorrow. It’s one of those vanillas that just makes you feel ultra pretty, and I can't even begin to imagine all the layering combos you could do with this little number! Edit: Went out shopping without future hubs and he picked me up and as I sat in his car he immediately went "Jaz, you smell fantastic. Whatever perfume that is, you need to wear that more often."

I am a vanilla lover - pretty much every perfume in my collection needs to layer well with vanilla because all of my body products are vanilla. Tried this one out for days I just want to go vanilla to the max and it is the perfect cozy vanilla scent. I don’t get anything coconut or otherwise. It’s a very simple scent done very well! The perfume lasts for a while on me and does stay fairly close to the skin. Will be perfect for travel or meeting days when I don’t want to wear anything too offensive. I am also excited to layer this with some other perfumes as I think it’ll be a great base for layering! I only picked up the travel size, but after just a couple days of use I know I’ll be upgrading to the full size soon!

The most beautiful grown up vanilla. If you’re a gourmand girly who is over the “childish” smelling fragrances this is a must buy! Very sweet scent bubble that gives off a mature vanilla bean, I personally can’t smell any coconut but I don’t mind. This is perfect for the girls who hate overly cloying smells as it never comes off that way. This could work for any time of day or season as it’s super versatile. It’s decently long lasting and worth it imo for the price. A great everyday wear!

I’m so happy this smells identical to the oil, which is one of my favourite ever fragrances, after the disappointment (relative, I still like it) of the body mist, which doesn’t quite smell the same to me. I have no clue why coconut is the first note listed, I detect very little coconut and it is very definitely a supporting player to the main attraction- a delicious, warm, comforting and calming vanilla. It’s beautiful, lasts well on me and can be layered with the oil to extend wear.
