Horchata de Vanille

I'm not sure how so many people are not getting the rice and milk notes or say it doesn't smell like horchata. I know everyone is different but I wonder if it has to do with temperature/ season when they are trying it. I just got this and am wearing it now (December) and it smells exactly like horchata or a sweet rice pudding. I love making horchata and this smells spot on to me. Its creamy, I definitely get the sugary rice milk smell, and a hint of cinnamon in the background. It's definitely not a cinnamon bomb to me, the cinnamon is very subtle. To me, this really does smell exactly like a freshy made creamy rice pudding or sweet creamy horchata. This is one of the few perfumes that actually smelled exactly like what I was expecting from the notes, and I was impressed. I had purchased a travel size and ended up buying a full bottle within hours of trying it. I haven't worn this in warmer weather, so maybe that is when it gets more cinnamon heavy? I'll have to wait and see.

I won a contest in a Facebook fragrance group where the members came up with names for this fragrance. And the owner ended up picking one of the names I suggested: "Horchata de Vanille". And my prize for winning was a full bottle. I recently received it and it is beautiful! Perfectly spicy, creamy, lactonic, vanillary and sweet. It smells like Horchata! I'll be wearing this so much during the fall and winter. I have worn it as a bedtime scent and loved the cozy feeling it gave me. Performance and longevity is great too. If you're looking for a Horchata fragrance, get your nose on this one! And the price is unbeatable for a 100ml.

Coming from a gourmand lover, this is lovely! Cinnamon is a divisive note, and most people who don’t like this scent- according to their profiles aren’t gourmand appreciators. Why sniff a scent profile you know you don’t enjoy and then proceed to write that you don’t like it? Despite that delicious sweet creamy cinnamon, it’s an uplifting and brighter gourmand rather than thick and dense. There is a cherry/almondy presence that reminds me of sweet Swedish fish candy and some milky horchata!

I've been wanting to try this since I've heard Daniel Rene talk about it and LET ME TELL YOU OH MY GOD. It is such a beautiful soft, slightly cinnamony, milky, creamy vanilla scent It might just become my signature!!! I ordered from their website, delivery didn't take longer than about a two weeks max. I can not recommend this perfume enough, it's absolutely beautiful. I will continue buying from Sphinx fragrances. Seems like they never miss!

This fragrance opens very spicy. Not going to lie it reminded me of a glade holiday room air freshener heavy on cinnamon. But I'm happy to say that the opening doesn't last very long and it's not what others pick up either. It turns into a creamy rich vanilla with a a hint of spice. My husband described it as yummy abd cozy. Def won't be wearing this on hot summer days but I can see myself reaching for this for fall and winter.
