In Dreams and Fairy Tales Vanilla

I blind bought this as a vanilla girly looking for an airy, ethereal vanilla and this did not disappoint! It's very true to the notes and smells like a whipped meringue with vanilla and a sprinkle of chamomile. You can smell the airiness of the meringue and what smells like powdered sugar. The chamomile is present but not prominent and adds some extra lightness and depth to the fragrance. I have the IPM version as an international customer and while it smells heavenly, I did run into some packaging issues. The metal part of the cap is not properly glued to the inside of the cap and I have to pull the cap off in a certain way to be able to access the nozzle. In addition, the top leaks a little bit when the cap is pulled off in the wrong way. I have mixed feelings about the packaging since they are a small indie brand, but quite expensive as an international customer. However, the scent and package aesthetic is absolutely stunning!

@perfumeponderings...their profile is literally nothing but negative reviews. This does not smell like lunchmeat...like wth 😆 Sorce has AMAZING customer service so if you hated it or got a bad batch Im sure the owner would make it right. Anywho, this perfume is incredible. Im starting to grow away from gourmands but dang IDAFT pulled me right back in. Airy, ethereal & sweet but not sickly sweet. I get more marshmallow than merengue. The base is such a beautiful, powdery marshmallow heaven. I get delicious wafts of it all day. I own the blueberry IDAFT (smells exactly like fresh baked blueberry muffins w/ a marshmallow base) and I fear I will own the vanilla next!! Sorce makes the best gourmands. If you dont like sweet scents, this wont be your jam. Same vane as Bianco Latte / Tihota / etc but a touch less sickly sweet.

IDAFT Vanilla has been on my radar for months, and I finally purchased a travel size on Lucky Scent's web site during their last holiday sale. Zero regrets, and super fast shipping! It's probably the most beautiful and fluffy simple vanilla scent in my collection, and the chamomile note gives it that extra something similar perfumes are missing. For comparison purposes, this isn't quite as sweet, heavy and gourmand as Nemat Vanilla Musk (which I own and love as well). That smells like a frosted cupcake. I've also yet to smell OG Tihota, but I own 2 dupes considered accurate. They tend to pull Play-Doh-like to my nose, whereas IDAFT Vanilla isn't Play-Doh-like at all. The overall vibe/scent profile reminds me of Kilian Princess, but IDAFT Vanilla does it better. Longevity is also great!

This just replaced Bianco Latte as my #1 favourite perfume. I didn't even know that was possible. Holy crap. This vanilla is airy and feels cool. It has very good lasting power. Despite having simple notes, it smells unlike any other vanilla I've tried. The best word I can use to describe it is ethereal. It is addictive, hypnotic, and intoxicating. One thing I will mention, though, is that for the first 10 minutes or so, the meringue note smells too lactonic (like a literal cow or powdered milk), but after those 10 minutes, it is absolutely to die for. I already have an order placed for a full-size bottle. (Please note this is a review for the IPM-based version, as I am Canadian)

I don’t even know what to say. I am definitely a Gourmand girly through and through... This was on my list of things to try and wow. For an Indie house she is one of the most sophisticated and high-quality smelling gourmands I’ve ever smelled. Very sweet light and fluffy... Definitely beast mode and got it a compliment the first day I wore it and had the person asked me to write down what the fragrance was. It is 100% a super gourmand sweet sugary scent, but it has a little bit of depth with that green chamomile note wow freaking phenomenal

Sorce blew me away with this scent! It's one of the best vanilla, sugary, airy scent. It's one of the best scents in my collection. If you like scents like Happy Dust, Tihota, etc, this one will be a LOVE for you. The meringue smells kind of like marshmallow, but with a little more warmth to it. The chamomile isn't overpowering, and is just there in the background to ground this whimsical scent. Kaitlyn at Sorce does a phenomenal job. The blueberry & strawberry rosewater variations are dreamy.

This is a beautiful vanilla scent. It’s comforting and cosy. I don’t get any plastic vibes or olives.... Just straight up sugary vanilla, almost like an icing sugar in the best way. It also lasts an impressive amount of time for the price. I have many expensive vanillas that don’t last anywhere near as long as this does. This is definitely one of my favs. Well worth buying in my opinion. I’ll be adding it to my collection as soon as I can get a hold of a full bottle!

The smell is so faint at first, but as weeks/months go by the scent becomes stronger & let me tell you, this is MAGIC IN A BOTTLE! It reminds me a bit of Delizia di Marshmallow, but that one is borderline cloying. In Dreams & Fairytales is a bit more airy, but just as addicting (if not more). The scent bubble it creates is the most delicious thing I have ever smelled. I'm obsessedddd! I think this may actually be my favorite perfume ever. 1000000/10

SUGAR! Super sweet, ever so slightly burnt sugar. Smells a bit like cream cheese frosting to me, but dont let that put you off lol. I don't personally get vanilla, certainly nothing like vanilla 28 as others have said. It's more like cotton candy. Almost like walking into a candy store with an ice cream stand in the distance. It took me a hot second to appreciate this one. The blueberry one was an instant love for me, this was a slow burn.

Whipped, fluffy, airy vanilla. She might even be a little bit of a creamy vanilla, she's very smooth. The *tiniest* hint of chamomile comes through if you focus on it, but this is overall veryyyyyyyyy vanilla. Not a heavy vanilla, but a light one. This scent is very straightforward and predictable, but extremely wearable. Plays well when layering with many other perfumes, too. A great one to add to the collection.

I own or have tried quite a few of the popular vanilla fragrances and I have to say, this is probably a contender for my favorite just based on how comforting it is. I get a pure vanilla with just a hint of chamomile, just as the notes suggest. I don’t get any of the strange undertones or notes that other reviewers do, but like with all Sorce fragrances, I think it’s best to test them out before committing.

This is one of my favorite vanillas ever! Very creamy and dreamy; however, I feel like something a lot of people don't mention when talking about this fragrance is that it does have a bit of a smokey undertone. It could have been just the batch I got though. I don't mind it, I actually think it gives the perfume more depth, but I feel like people advertise it as just a straight up vanilla

This perfume creates a cloud around you. It’s very airy. It surrounds you in a scent bubble of vanilla meringue and the chamomile is only there in the opening for me. The dry down is all fluffy vanilla. As soon as I sprayed the travel size all over me and started going about my day I loved my scent bubble so much I immediately upgraded to a full bottle.

What a dreamy lil bedtime frag! The opening on this is the most DIVINE air-whipped vanilla meringue out theree. The drydown turns into a pretty standard sweet/caramelly vanilla but WOW imagine spraying this on before bed you will definitely be having the sweetest dreams imaginable on a pillow of marshallow, chamomile and vanilla sugar.

this is a whimsical, dreamy vanilla, sugar fragrance that leaves me in awe every time i sniff it. sorce is so amazing at what they do. if you like scents like happy dust, indult, etc., you will love this scent plus some. just try it & do yourself and get the blueberry version of this and the strawberry rosewater :)

gorgeoussss vanilla meringue scent with a lovely hint of earthy chamomille to balance out the sweetness. this is like the perfect scent to lounge around home in, it's so cozy. but it would also be worthy as an every day signature scent! the performance is great with all day longevity. overall rating: 🩷🩷🩷🩷💔 4.5/5

smells like the most tooth-achingly sweet crunchy meringue and you're eating that outside and there's a patch of chamomile nearby, so so so delightful. I only wish there was maybe a bit more chamomile, that would take it to the next level for me.

This is for the vanilla version. It smells like sugar and vanilla bomb and lasts forever! I can smell it even after 12 hours. You have to let it sit for at least 2 weeks the fragrance just gets better the longer it sits IMO.

This is a very well done, soft vanilla scent. It’s not too sweet and not too sticky like most. It’s airy and elegant. I think the chamomile really brings the sweetness down. My husband all but salivates when I wear this!

I’ve been loving this layered with just about everything. It’s not super strong on its own, but it’s such a light fluffy marshmallowy vanilla it makes everything better.
