Flavia Vanilla 82

I love this perfume. 🖤 It has become my signature now. It really suits my skin and everyone keeps asking what I'm wearing. I bought it directly from the perfume house in France. I live in a hot country, so I don't know if that affects the dry down. To me this smells of a lovely combination of sugary Vanilla with green and floral notes. It starts with the fresh blast of sparkly peach, a nice green note and the vanilla. It is a sweet vanilla. You also have the lovely Ylang Ylang and Michellia floral notes that give that exotic feel. When it warms up on your skin, you get more sugary Vanilla. Then a toasty, very smoky note comes through with the vanilla! Sexy! I also smell a background of creamy sandalwood. I love it, I can't stop smelling myself. Flavia is sweet, pretty, feminine, exotic but also darkly alluring. I found this to be strong and lasts for so long. Opposite to what others are saying. Personally, I found all the Parle Moi perfumes are strong and needs a light hand. Also, this is not a purely gourmand lover's perfume. Although sweet vanilla can come through at most times. Gourmand vanilla lovers may be disappointed if they have such expectations. I love the bottle design and how it comes in a pouch inside a tube to protect it. The notes above are not correct, many notes are missing. Also, it has been mentioned that Parle Moi perfumes are linear and I completely disagree. They have many hidden notes.

I'm in love. This one is for awake senses as it is very subtle...I got addicted immediately with it's angel like, sweet, multifaceted pastel rainbow northern lights quality. It has dimensions if you are present enough while being the softest and very dreamy. So feminine and perfect. Love that the notes are not revealed. Not sure if I am being influenced by the reviewer below but I imagine drops of peach and ylang ylang, a few drops of something I am trying to figure out...in an ever so slightly woody ocean of smooth sweetness with a touch of vanilla. Agree about the lotion quality.

Flavia vanilla doesn't seem like a vanilla forward perfume in the beginning. It's mixed with some unknown flowers and preventing it for being too cloying. But the dry down is this slightly burned sugar with a soft vanilla. Linear, but beautiful and high quality. Just what to expect from the brilliant, well known Michel Almairac who created it. Quite long lasting too! 5/5

I was disappointed when I finally got to smell this. As other have mentioned, the vanilla isn't the superstar here. It's quite sharp actually, and more fruity and green rather than a gourmand.

A feminine, fruity scent. It’s a juicy peach fragrance, but it doesn’t feel youthful in a simple way—it has more depth to it.
