So sadly when I retried Manifesto something was off I could not smell any vanilla that made me love it in the first place only some green leaves notes and woods but this one is lovely and fills that void for an amazing price.Smells elegant does not smell cheap ,creamy cake like the whipped cream gives it the gourmand kick Manifesto is missing.Office safe very long lasting on my skin lasts 8 hours plus and on clothes for a few days.Projection is also great it can fill a room.The bottle is adorable comes in a tube you can carry it around, definitely blind buy safe.

Cherry, Vanilla, Coca Cola incense vibe. Smells sweet, but the incense at the end rounds it out. If you loved the classic “Cherry Vanilla” frag you will appreciate this.

When I first sprayed this, I got a blast of baby powder scent, which could be the bergamot and cassis and cream mixing around a bit. On my skin, it settles into vanilla and jasmine but it isn't an overly sweet vanilla, even with the whipped cream I can smell. This is not a heavy, cloying scent, unless you aren't a fan of vanillas like I am. In the end, I have the powdery vanilla with some cedar, similar to the baby powder smell it opened with. I keep getting the scent floating up to my nose and it's very nice, comforting in a way. I agree with smilesayj that this is leaning feminine rather than male. I blind bought this because I'm on a little run of more Arabian perfumes and it's a great price to try it out. Both sillage and longevity are moderate. Update: After wearing this a couple times, the opening reminds me of St. Joseph's Children's Aspirin, the tiny little orange ones. I'm guessing that's the cassis and that smell does eventually mixes in with the sweet vanilla powder.

I wouldn't classify this as unisex at all. It is definitely very feminine. Whenever I first spray this, I ALWAYS think it smells like Dr. Pepper (yes, the pop/soda)! How there is no note of cherry or heliotrope or anything in this perfume is beyond me - I very much smell cherry! BUT.. the cherry scent is blended so nicely with vanilla, little jasmine, and tonka. The cherry dissipates, leaving the drydown "creamy" and sweet. It doesn't have the staying power that I wish it did, but I'm sure it'd be a different story in the summertime. Worth trying out, if you think you're even a little interested! (Sidenote: Careful when spraying in the air or on light colored clothing! The perfume is similar to the bottle color.. pinkish-purple. I only noticed because my bottle was slightly leaking around the cap and when I wiped it with a tissue, the tissue had magenta stains on it. Have had no issue spraying it on my skin though.)

Very pleasant! Smells just like a blueberry cupcake to me! Sweet, vanilla, a bit fruity, a bit creamy. Very light and airy, a totally non-offensive scent. For the price I would definitely repurchase - this is a scent I wear around the house/to do day to day chores. Not a show stopper, just very sweet and light. My only drawback is I wish it was stronger in terms of projection, this is definitely at the lower end of moderate, and the longevity on me is the same sadly. NOT unisex at all, definitely feminine! My rating: 7/10
