Vanithe

Amazing perfume. A plesant combination between citrus and sweet subtile smell. Perfect and unique, great staying power.

Perfect combination of vanilla and citrus (never thought it could be done). Fresh yet very sexy. I love it.

LOVE. I feel like a queen wearing this!!

Meh. Meh. Meh. The only thing that was interesting for me was the opening, which I disliked. On me this opened with rosemary and lots of verbena. It was jarring but well done. As the verbena faded a strong sweet tea appeared and stayed. Four hours in neither the benzoin nor the tonka have made any kind of appearance--I've got sticky sweet tea. This reminds me of Constant Comment Vanilla tea with a dollop of honey and a bit of milk. Wholesome, but not inspiring. If you're looking for a good tea perfume I'd start with the Bulgari line or if you want to go down market a bit try Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Sillage: medium Durability: 5 hours and counting Fabulosity: not that anyone would notice Price to value: poor 4/10

Bad blind-buy. It smells like medicine, like children's multi-vitamins! Terrible! At first there is an herbal lemon scent that seems ok, but it only gets worse from there. I don't detect tea or creamy vanilla, or even some nice jasmine. As it dries down, it's sweet, but again, a very bland, one-dimensional, boring, synthetic scent.

vanithe What an interesting scent ! First of all, it is not a vanilla perfume. It's an aromatic woody vanilla. The first impression when I smelled it was something vintage , but only for a few seconds. Then it moves into some sweet territory , I smell aromatic herbal tea with honey and lemon . It is so comforting and warm. There are some powdery notes sneekong in, mixed with something resinous . Tonka and vanilla are mixed it with herbs and honey, it is like a magic potion. Very complex yet soft and sheer. Still it isn't really light. Very sensual and interesting, I have nothing in my collection resembling this. It''s true, it doesn't stand out as one of those perfumes that take your breath away and make you feel intoxikcated and enamoured . But it becomes somehow addictive, it's sensual and unusual, and I want more and more of it. Bottom line: try before you buy , this isn't a stunner from the first test, it's one that needs to melt into the skin to show its nuances. Quiet , mellow, unusual. I don’t smell anything synthetic either. The presentation is superb .

The verbena in this was strong at the beginning, and it almost totally overpowers any other notes such as tea, rosemary, jasmine etc. I can then smell the benzoin, cedar and guaiac wood, and it eventually dries down to a sugary vanilla but a soft citrus tang stays. Unfortunately as much as the notes sound delicious, Im not really impressed by this and would not buy a bottle of it. As time goes on, more earl grey tea comes out and its making me feel queasy.

Very interesting scent...It goes from top note to base in about 15 minutes. For me, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This starts out with a dark vanilla and then morphs into a honey/lemon fragrance. Interestingly, minutes later it changes back to vanilla and some sort of wood join in on the happenings. Very dense fragrance, nothing exotic. It's hard to determine if this is full bottle worthy. I guess anything can be bottle worthy if your money is long.

When I saw this at the shop, I thought, "Great, just what the world needs - another vanilla perfume." But I fell in love when I smelled it. While I'm usually not a tea fan or a vanilla fan this one captures the best of both of these scents in a way that feels pretty unique. If I have a complaint it's the stickiness. It's really sweet. For me this is a fragrance that can be very comforting in winter and perfume I forget about once spring comes.

Nice and subtle chinese black tea scent, jasmine comes out in a delicious way, while vanilla is very evident only in the drydown after 3 hours. No clear rosemary note for me here, but rather an aromatic herbal edge. It is pleasant indeed. Feminine, delicate, elegant, very refined. It really goes with a "orient" tea theme and kimonos.Anyway I expected something even more sophisticated for such an imagery. Sillage stays close to the skin.

Pleasantly lemon/fruity but nothing very special - a generic citrusy cologne. After drydown, just hazy sweetness. Sure is strong & lasting.
