Whipped French Vanilla

So, soooo faint, but smells like a diet version of Bianco Latte by Giordiani di Toscano. I already have that fragrance, but I wish this lasted longer. I just take it with me to top up Bianco Latte.

I think it's gorgeous but it's extremely faint. This is an exact dupe of Dulce by Rosie Jane

This was pretty weak first sniff. I've had it macerating for six weeks at this point, and it has developed into a stronger, longer-lasting scent. The thing to note with this one is that the vanilla is vanilla bean, full-on scraped from a pod, not extract or artificial. I use it to layer with things I want to sweeten up. I never gave macerating any thought until I bought Duas. That process has saved me hundreds, I would have chunked most of these upon first smell. Then, a month or so later, you've got a beautiful fragrance. (Usually. Blind buys will get you here and there, thank goodness for their sales). I get that not everyone wants to wait, though-I don't always, myself.

I smell nothing. Only if I assault my arm with nose I can get a very faint whiff of something Vanillic. Disappointing... however I do know that with vanillas if left for a while they might deepen so I’m putting it away and will come back to it in 6 months . Update: it has developed a bit and it’s a very true vanilla. Very nice. Still leaving it to macerate more .

Nice, smooth slightly sweet milky vanilla, but sooo weak at first. After about a year it's a bit more reasonable, so be prepared to keep it a long time before wearing!
