Vanille de Vie

Happy to be reviewer #1 for this perfume. I absolutely love it. It is a sweet vanilla, and although the notes do not have any fruits listed, there is subtle fruity sweetness to my nose. Or something I can't quite describe. I can't find any reviews for this on social media, and it seems right now you can only order it off the main website or in stores in Europe. Having never heard of the brand, I tried it at a Beauty Point in Vlore, Albania. Instant love. While expensive at about $286 USD, I justify my purchase in that I saved 50 euro in shipping from the website. The bottle is unique and heavy, and the packaging it comes in is beautiful. This is a relatively new brand out the Netherlands, and I am excited for more people to discover their collection.

Vanille de Vie is hands down one of the best vanilla perfumes on the market. In my view, it is perfectly balanced - it is elegant yet fun, mature yet youthful, understated yet noticeable, and a touch sweet yet it is not your typical gourmand. You can easily wear this fragrance both day and night, and it is even wearable in the heat. This brand is a hidden gem that all collectors of niche perfumes need to discover. 10/10.
