Vanilla Musk

I initially tested Nest Madagascar Vanilla Body Mist then the Nest Perfume Oil I had to get the Nest Body Mist it is beautiful but at $105 for the oil that was a NO. I do not own any perfume oils but the scent is gorgeous and certainly it is refreshing to have a vanilla that is more powdery than gourmand. So I checked out the reviews and decided to look into this to see the similarities and let me tell you this is THE SAME. I can no tell no difference. So I could've paid $105 for Nest or paid $15 for this. It is a gorgeous almost effervescent powdery, dry, vanilla, the coconut I guess on my skin doesn't come across very strong which I am grateful for because there are few fragrances I like that have coconut notes that don't smell artificial and cloying. Super glad I read the reviews and did not do an impulse purchase there. I can also see this as being safe to layer with other fragrances with similar notes. Really pretty and great value.

I have NEVER liked vanilla fragrances, until NOW! This is absolutely oh so beautiful! I found it for $16.99 at Marshall’s for the 1.7oz EDP rollerball. This makes me think of comfy sweaters and being cozy. This is so much different than anything I have ever owned or worn, I just don’t like vanilla or gourmand perfumes but this has really got me thinking that I either 1) had my preferences change with no warning or 2) maybe I am starting to grow up and fall in love with deeper more intriguing fragrances. The name for this is spot on but it’s got something extra about it that makes it more than just a vanilla musk. Now I have to reevaluate all the perfumes I’ve overlooked because I just didn’t like that type of perfume! Who knows maybe I’ll found a new top five!!!

Just got this. funny enough I spotted this oil weeks ago and smelled it and liked it but I have so many different variations of vanilla I felt like maybe I should let others enjoy it besides myself. Went back in and it was still there, I smelled it again, this time a little oil got on my fingers, i walked away and this waft of vanilla beautifullness (not a word, I know) hit me and I had to walk back and finally get this. It's such a rich, intense concentration of vanilla, its sweet however is not gourmand, its more of a balance between sweet and floral and its so velvety. Wearing this as a base for everything now.

Lovely gorgeous scent and lasts forever. I often prefer oils to perfumes for the longevity factor but this one just smells so beautiful to me that even without that bias I’d adore it LOL love a good Marshall’s beauty buy. I have it in a cute little roll on filled with little amethyst pieces. Update: put on yesterday morning, and yesterday night (12 hrs later) I was in the basement sewing. I go back down there this morning (7 hrs later) and all I smell is this. How??!!! Witchcraft!!!! Oh Vanilla Musk I will go to war for you...

I wear this as a base layer almost every single day in the winter. I like my vanilla musky; I find it holds my interest and keeps me from smelling like a cupcake. Since I live in Michigan, many of my beloved citrus florals don’t work in the winter, but if I apply this first, it warms them up. I’ve found it pairs easier with citrus rather than floral forward scents. The other day I put it under Tocca Stella (orange bomb) and I was reminded of oranges at Christmas. It’s lovely and a work horse. I will always have a bottle.

When I first saw this in tj max I was a bit skeptical since when you smell fragrances straight from the bottle they sometimes smell of metal or alcohol but this is purely oil but when I opened the bottle the most delicious vanilla wind came from the bottle I'm a gourmand enthusiast but I was on a lookout for a vanilla that was just Vanilla. No frosting no cupcakes just vanilla with anise like beauty it's gorgeous and only 14.99 what a steal get this as either layering base or just to wear alone it's lovely 100/10 😆

I have the Vanilla Musk Oil and I ADORE her!! If I put this on after a shower and lotion, this is staying on me for a WHILE. In my personal opinion it's not a gourmand vanilla that's specifically really sweet and laconic but a fresh, and CLEAN vanilla. I love this oil for layering as it adds a unique vanilla scent on me for hourssss. I love it and highly recommend it for all vanilla lovers but just understand it's not a sugar filled vanilla. I bought mine at TJ Maxx for like $12 so definitely recommend!

I got this at TJ Maxx for $14.99 and that was a steal because this is a wonderful scent that really works well on my skin. It's not the sugary sweet kind of vanilla that smells like buttercream frosting like their White Vanilla. This is more elegant and sensual. It lasted all night on my skin. Starts off a bit powdery but then it develops into a sexy, musky, and warm vanilla that would layer well with just about anything. I think I will have to stock up on this one!

The fragrance that made me realize I actually like vanilla! Normally, vanilla is too cloying and heavy for me. But this — The perfect soft layering scent for any season. I don’t super love the coconut and orchid note at the beginning, but it fades pretty quickly, and you’re left with a beautiful musky vanilla skin scent that lasts a few hours on me and blends nicely with other sweet scents. Smells pretty identical to Nest’s Madagascar Vanilla! Also so affordable :)

I’ve had the Nest Madagascar perfume oil for years and I’ve been saving my little mini perfume oil, but thank god someone from Reddit suggested this. I found the perfume version of this at Winners for 100ml and it’s exactly the same! I love layering this with all my sweet perfumes. This scent is perfect for any season. Not too cloying or intensely sweet. Strong vanilla and coconut. Longevity is not there, but better than paying $150 for 30ml of perfume oil.

Smells amazinggg. Vanilla, Coconut, Woody, Musky goodness ! I love layering this with YSL Libre Le Parfum when I’m going out for the night, and it pairs SO WELL. It lasts even longer than most perfumes I have and it just smells great. Only downside is that the opening smells a bit off to me and the coconut note is a bit too overpowering for my liking (I have a love hate relationship with coconut in fragrances), but that’s about it. 8.5/10 rating for me !!

Another one in my top 5 in this line. I think it’s a perfect vanilla. This makes me want to try Nest’s Madagascar Vanilla! Love it! Knocks white vanilla out of the park! A much more natural vanilla. Edit: My first sample bottle of this was fire. I lost that one and got a different sampler pack, the other one has a pickley sandalwood or coconut unfortunately so there clearly are batch discrepancies. I smelled the wash and lotion and got pickle too. Sad.

I grabbed a backup bottle of this because I don’t see myself ever getting tired of it, and I am going through it very quickly. It is so pleasant at night right before bed time. I like to massage it into my hair because it plays well with most other scents I have chosen for my skin. Cozy, rich, warm, and unoffensive. Great staying power. I love to combine it with another oil that is an amber-and-lemongrass blend.

This reminds me of Vanilla Fields Winter. That isn't to say it's a smellalike -- it's been an awfully long time since I had that perfume, so my memory of it may be flawed -- but that it has the same sort of spicy, cozy vibe. I think I tend to go for cool vanillas more often than not. This is a warm vanilla, definitely gourmand, and definitely worth grabbing if you see it. I love it so much that I stocked up.

I prefer the perfume oil to the eau de toilette for better performance. This scent is a 10/10 for me. I never get tired of wearing it, and I particularly love it before bed. I also like to layer it with an indie amber + lemongrass rollerball I have. A couple of years after owning this I got my nose on Nest Madagascar Vanilla. They are virtually identical, but Vanilla Musk has my heart. More affordable too.

This is what Vanilla Vibes wishes it could be. A light and airy vanilla that is sweet enough to be likable but not too sweet to where it's headache inducing. It's not gourmand or heavy so it is very suitable for warm weather but it's also suitable for cold weather because of the comforting vibe I get from this. I absolutely love this and the price point makes adding it to my collection a no-brainer.

Comforting and versatile layered or as a standalone. I just put it on after my shower before bed and I swear all the tension just left my body, it's such a comforting scent. It's not too strong or overly sweet and cloying, and the musk and vanilla are well-balanced. I got this cheap at TJmaxx and was not expecting much, but this is now one of my favorite scents on my shelf.

This is a spot on dupe for Nest Madagascar vanilla. I LOOOOOVE this. The price and quality is unbeatable. 100% Repurchase I layer it with everything it's so beautiful. Honestly, I hate the fact that it was added on here because I wanted to gatekeep for as long as possible. Then again you all deserve to smell delicious <3

This is so good! I love wearing this with Fursan White( I usually reserve the actual Madagascar Vanilla for layering with the actual Vanilla Powder) because they both have creamy coconut and vanilla notes! Honestly this is wonderful on its own but layers well with so many vanilla, creamy, coconut, and lactonic scents.

I found the perfume spray at TJ Maxx, and didn’t think much of it at first. After I got home I realized how long it lasted, and I like it. You get a big bottle for under $20. It’s warm, comforting vanilla musk with some coconut. Not too sweet.
