Trish McEvoy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk

I now have both versions of Trish McEvoy No.9 Blackberry & Vanilla and believe me they are sooooo very different. I have the original Blackberry & Vanilla and NOW have the Blackberry & Vanilla Sexy and love them both. But to be totally honest I do prefer the latest version of the Sexy. Yes they both have the gorgeous tooty fruity smell with the blackberry and vanilla (and BTW men seem to love the smell of blackberry and vanilla this I found first off a over 5 years ago when wearing Philosophy Falling in love (still love that)and then when they added Unconditional Love which is similar but a bit more musky! I had guys saying they wanted to eat me!!! I think they meant that in a good way? Lol! So it defo became my evening out perfume especially when i'm single (giving my hints away now! Lol)) Anyway getting back to this! Lol! Both have the lovely Blackberry and Vanilla fragrance that can be worn day and night and is definitely NOT offensive and strong during the day. But I find that the Sexy one is stronger and has a slightly more musky smell and definitely lasts longer during the day in a warm office. The reason also for me thinking it lasts longer is there is a slight change to the fragrance after a few hours and it gets slightly softer and smells like the Original No.9 so that could be the reason I can still smell it slightly after a 8hr day at work but when I wear the original after about 4/5 hrs can hardly smell the perfume but also that could be because my nose has got used to the fragrance but am not sure because if I spray it again I can smell the original again but I suppose that could also be because it is the notes being activated/woken up by my nose because they are stronger again and you get that original burst? Maybe I should ask my workmates if they can still smell it? Lol! But TBH out of the 2 (and don't get me wrong I love them both) the No.9 Sexy is stronger and longer lasting and has a slightly more sensual seductive smell (which is prob why it is called sexy? Doh me! Lol)and also why the Sexy No.9 is slightly more expensive than the Original No.9 as it is longer lasting also? But they are both gorgeus fragrances that every female should own as they both lift your spirits and make you feel happy and are slightly playful also. I would say this perfume is also suitable for any age from 16-100 years old because of the playful, sensual, uplifting notes. But just be aware you will have men loving the fragrance and smelling you. Men just seem to love the mix of blackberry, vanilla and subtle musk (maybe it's the food/sweets entity? But i'm not complaining! Lol)

This has been my signature scent for years and also my boyfriend's favorite! Blackberry is my favorite fruit and the smell of it makes me salivate. Reminds me of the pie I bake every summer after picking fresh sun kissed berries, then eating a warm slice with some vanilla ice cream!! The rose and musk uniquely sexes up the scent; imagine eating that delicious pie in floral lace and a lot of sensual finger licking....lol!! I'm not usually a fan of vanilla but the tartness of the blackberry balances it to the perfect amount of sweet. I have yet to find anyone that doesn't like this scent and have had many friends purchase it right after smelling mine. I'd recommend it for all ages and all seasons... although the musk may be a bit too strong on hot days for some. Sexy 9 seems to be the 9's musk counterpart as if the blackberry and musk switched contents here. I've seen many men go bonkers over the original's gourmand take I just don't see this one having the same mouthwatering effect. Something about it is far too familiar to me... running along same lines as other nauseating spicy chypres like Angel that I can't ever seem too avoid going out; fortunately Sexy 9 is a more toned down version. Its as though my yummy pie was dipped in Old Spice! Just not my cup of tea... almost too masculine... now that I think of it probably would work better as a men's fragrance. I'm going to wash my wrist now!

I wanted to try this so badly as they don't have Trish Mcevoy in my country. So, I joined the crazy bidding war on ebay. When I first sprayed it on, it smelt sourish to me. On drydown, it became a sweeter, blackberry candy smell that was so pleasant and delicious. The flipside is that this doesn't last long AT ALL :( I can't even smell it on myself 1 hour after I've sprayed it. And I need to spray at least 5 times before the smell becomes apparent - very disappointing for the high price I paid for EDP. After a few months, my 50ml bottle is almost depleted! :( Strangely, the scent lingers on my clothes for a long time. This ain't a perfume that will get you compliments because of its low sillage - probably people within your arm's length would be able to smell it. Guess I won't repurchase because of the prohibitive cost. However I'll stop using whatever I have left and keep it to sniff now and then....

If I had to choose just one fragrance for the rest of my life Trish McEvoy's #9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk would be my signature. It reminds me of blackberry picking as a girl. The initial blast is very fresh, green, more crushed leaves and blackberry vine, but that doesn't last long. Then comes ripe, sweet, juicy blackberries and vanilla and a touch of musk. The basenotes of vanilla and musk linger for quite some time on me. This is one I forget I'm wearing until a breeze wafts over me and I wonder what that delicious smell is and I realize, it's me! Blackberry and Vanilla Musk has been compared to Philosophy's Falling in Love and rightfully so, but there are differences. FiL doesn't have the initial green notes that I love in #9 and its longevity is not nearly as good. It costs less though, and is similar so if you want a better value with a similar vibe try FiL.

Blackberry & Vanilla Musk... I bought a bottle in the middle of summer and I did not like this Blackberry & Vanilla Musk at all. It was a scent of nothingness when the weather was hot and humid out side. Lo & Behold .. When air was crisp and cold. Blackberry & Vanilla Musk turned into something scrumptious and lovely. My nose caught bursts and bursts of sweet & tart black and blue berries. Vanilla was transparent and pretty. Musk was light and sensual. The 3 main compositions were mixed in a perfect ratio. Blackberry & Vanilla Musk reminded me of the smell of frozen fruit slush. Mixing crushed ice with frozen blackberries and a tad of vanilla flavored syrup in a blender. The scent is lightly sweet, cold, and delightful. Lasted 5+ hours on my skin but stayed close. I like it very much. My new winter perfume .. I found you :o)

Blackberries in the sun to a T!! Lovely lovely blackberries - one of my favourite things! This is so very true to my blackberries of childhood - we had them growing nearby and used to eat them allllll the time!!! Yum yum yum!!! Trish McEvoy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk, is mostly blackberries for me, and they're so ripe and juicy and sweeeet!! Divine! And the musk and vanilla and cashmere wood just add to the soft, sweet earthy lushness, and the other fruits and the lovely delicate flowers round it all out into a delicious sweet, fresh, luscious perfume!! It's gorgeous! And lasts for 10 hours, and gets sooo many compliments.........everyone wants to have a munch!!!! But I allow them a good sniff and hug instead - I mean, a girl has to have some dignity!!!! And it's one of my husband's favourites on me - he loves it!!!

I love Falling in Love and when someone suggested this, I went straight to Nordstroms. It smells extremely similar and has way better sillage and lasting power but I was hoping for a mature version of FIL. Instead, I find it to be a fruitier version. This could do without the plum and orange. Luckily, the fruits die down as you wear it and the dry down smells more like FIL. I still really like it but I wish it was less sweet. I am very curious what the sexy version smells like, maybe I will prefer that. Edit: I looked through the comments and saw that some loved this in cold weather and some loved in warm weather. For me, I think I prefer in cooler weather. Maybe in the fall. I think it's too sweet and vanilla for the summer.

My nearly new bottle of No 9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk smashed to pieces on the bathroom floor - I was gutted!! I couldn't afford to buy another bottle straightaway so I ordered a small roller-ball Sexy No 9 instead to see what it was like. It's gorgeous and did not disappoint!! It has the same delicious blackberry/warm vanilla drydown but it starts with off with a punch of spiciness and patchouli (that's not overpowering). It's a lovely fragrance that I'm now wearing lots. Will definitely purchase a bigger sized bottle when I can! Update...still loving this but now finding the patchouli annoying so will go back to the original No. 9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk in the Autumn when it's probably best worn

Equally cosy and mouthwatering. A better buy than Philosophy’s Falling in Love, which I used to love, which sadly has been watered right down. I find this comforting to wear all year around. Possibly my favourite clean fragrance, i.e. it smells fresh and clean. I’m not particularly into fruity fragrances (red berries don’t agree with my skin) but I find blackberry to have that subtle but distinctive fresh infusion-kind-of presence, much like fig has. This has staying power and just so lovely. A hidden gem.

Delightful! This fragrance leads with a very strong blackberry and dries to a soft warm fruity/spicy vanilla. It's initially very similar (unsurprisingly) to L'artisan's Mure et Musk, but as the Mure et Musk retains it's blackberry scent all the way through, this fragrance ends up slightly gingery. I doubt I'll buy it soon as it so similar to those I already have but it's definitely a future purchase. I think it's a bed fragrance, both sensual and feminine and ultimately comforting.

I love this! A wonderful summer, warm weather fragrance. It's not complex. Simple but it's well done. I get mostly the blackberry and hint of vanilla. A bit of musk intertwines at the dry down. Not bad silage. And moderate longevity. 4+ hours. Reminds me of summer days picking blackberries for pies and jelly. It's not a sickly sweet fragrance. With the vanilla and musk....it rounds it all out.

I really love this fragrance. It's the only blackberry one that I've found that doesn't smell too much like candy. I can kind of also get a very faint almost lemony smell in the background, but that might just be me. I have found that the longevity isn't so great on me; I can only smell it for 2-3 hours before I need to reapply. However, it's just so good, that it's worth the money, IMO.

This is the most realistic blackberry scent that I have found. It is like fresh blackberries warmed by the summer sun on a hot day while also being reminiscent of a blackberry pie with vanilla ice cream. It is sweet and fruity without being synthetic or cloying. Although it is a warm fragrance I do think it really works in the summer- maybe because of the nostalgia. I love it!

I'm usually not a fan of very sweet fragrances, yet I find this quite sweet and also somewhat addictive. It's nothing like the brambly, green blackberry of Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay or the aftershave musk of L'Artisan Mure et Musc. Just sweet blackberry with just a touch of vanilla and light musk. Happy and simple. A perfect autumn scent.

No.9 for me is a very "natural" scent. I don't get much of the vanilla, but I do get the blackberry. It's not so much the sugary/jam type of blackberry. On me, it smells like a blackberry bramble and reminds me of blackberry picking on a hot summer day. Longevity is a little weak (fades in approx. 2hrs on me) but it is a delicious scent.

lovely..i dont like overly sweet perfumes these days but this smells so warm and jammy that i keep coming back to it. i have a strong love for it because it was the first full bottle i bought for myself. perfect for winter

Sweet and fruity and warm all at once, and packs a surprising amount of longevity. Not a lot of compliments wearing this one but I certainly enjoy smelling it throughout the day. I will always have this around!

My favourite perfume buy of the year so far! Delicious fresh ripe juicy berries and soft vanilla. Lovely musk. Later on I get a sort of warming cosy candy floss hit. So delicate and gorgeous I'm hooked!

Wish this would come in a 100ml! I love this perfume. Exactly what it says it is. Fresh vanilla with blackberry sweetness but not too sweet. I like this one better than the sexy 9 version.

I completely agree with the review by fragrancefiend and enjoyed this perfume even more because of her .. Thank you.

I love this scent but wish it were stronger. Silage is poor. I hate to admit it but it wasn't worth the price tag or the shipping! Disappointed since I absolutely love it. Creamy vanilla and blackberry goodness with just enough musk to make it grown up and elegant. I was hoping it would be longer lasting than Philosophy's Falling in Love (FIL firming lotion is identical - and one of my favourites - but FIL EDT is lighter with less creaminess). No. 9 opens with more citrus but dries down quickly to the lovely vanilla medley. FIL is half the price and lasts just as long - only a few minutes unless you douse yourself with it. Very frustrating when the scent is so perfect. Good for summer or office wear. I wish it were date night material but it just doesn't have any staying, or 'come hither', power. Such a pity. Edit: Tried using five or six more sprays of this the other day and got the sillage and longevity I wanted. The only downside is I'll go through an expensive bottle quickly. But the scent is delicious.

I wore this when it first came out. A roaming spritzer at Nordstrom ambushed me and that's how I discovered Trish McEvoy #9. I wasn't really interested in perfume then, but I liked the natural-smelling ripe blackberry note. It reminded me of hot summer days during childhood - being out of school and picking buckets of blackberries with my sisters so my Mom could make jam. The effect of #9 is like a ripe berry on the vine, sitting in the hot sun. It's sweet, but with a little earthiness and tart. Even though it reminds me of summer berry-picking I think #9 is an all-season scent. It's a fun perfume, one that's safe for work but not boring. Polite projection, decent longevity. Nowadays my blackberry fragrance is Olympic Orchids Blackbird, but #9 was where it all began.

My very favorite fragrance is Philosophy's Falling in Love. This fragrance is pretty much a dead ringer for Falling in Love, but after letting it settle on my skin and evaluating it over a number of hours, I have decided that Falling in Love is nicer. They both have exactly the same notes, but one of the less pleasing notes is more prominent in this one (I am not sure what the note is). My best friend, who also loves Falling in Love, was with me when we were fragrance shopping and shared my opinion. So my advice is, if you love Falling in Love, don't bother spending the big bucks for this one. It's pretty much a dupe, but not as pleasing.

I got this because I love Philosophy's Unconditional Love scent, but I know their perfume lasts about a minute. I used UL in the shower and as a lotion and then Sexy 9 as a fume, and it was sooo nice. It has that similar berry/musk with a little floral quality that I love about UL. This is not too sweet at all, especially for blackberry. Mild sillage, but I could smell it on me through the whole day. More than I expected. I got a 15 ml and will have to see if I get a bigger bottle when that is gone. It would be a definite if I didn't have such a ridiculous amount of perfume!

I received a small bottle of this as an xmas gift from my bf at the time's family - so I sprayed it on the shower curtain (hah) to see what it would be like. My bathroom smelled great! I wanted to smell like that! Unfortunately, when I put on the perfume, it goes almost immediately to this sour smell and then fades. :( But again - it smells wonderful when not sprayed on me. So this one is a negative ghost rider ...& another example of why it's good to get a small sample of a perfume to test with your body chemistry before buying.

LOVE it! To me, the first spritz is lemon and blueberries - DIVINE! It says Summer - casual - light... It deliciously expresses all things new and life renewed... Great for anyone wanting to reinvent and feeling a little lost. No. 9 can be layered with Sexy 9 and also Trish beautifully... All Trish McEvoy's fragrances are made to layer with each other as they are made with essential oils... Mixing and matching is part of the fun... I love them...

Pretty musky blackberry scent with hints of vanilla. Good silage and projection, my biggest issue is I found the fragrance itself to be too sweet.

Victoria secret type, Nice vanilla, sweet, fruity-floral, moderate longevity, nice for young age.

Total twin of philosophy Falling in Love.

Upon initial spray this perfume smells really nice and very unique with a strong hint of berry. However, instead of staying sweet, it keeps jumping back and forth between being a freshie and being fruity. I don't wear freshies much these days. So I am on the fence on this fragrance. I did notice it has sweetened up over the past 2 wks and smells better than it did when I opened the box and tried it. If you enjoy that kind of contrast you might love this perfume. I will give it a good chance in a few weeks and see if the sweet notes intensify.

I got this perfume in 2015 and almost used it up. Very lovely light scent but it does not last or project. I can smell it for 1 hour max, and it is EDP formulation, how it can be? Just want to mention that I tried this perfume in the store a few years earlier before buying and it was much stronger as I remember. So the companies change formulations and use different ingredients as time goes by over the years and unfortunately it effects the quality. I will not buy this one again.

TM #9 reminds me of a scented candle. Very fruity, floral, sweet. Kind of simple and straightforward -- no depth. Pleasant and mainstream enough to be suitable for the workplace and daytime, but I don't see myself wearing this one often. Personally, I prefer TM Sexy #9 (more depth and mystery) and would choose that one over this or TM #6 (very citrusy).

This reminds me of the Unconditional Love I used to get from Philosophy. This is top tier. This is blackberry and vanilla musk executed to perfection. I could kiss my fingers and blow a 💋 kiss MUAH! The matching body silk is AMAZING too. Oh la la & yummy yummy.

I had a giftcard to Bergdorf's and bought a 9 gift set blind. The set included a large original 9 and a Sexy 9. The original 9 is what I expected, a light berry-vanilla, as soon as I smelled it, it was quite familiar, in that a lot of women in my local area must wear it. It is fine as a day at the office fragrance, pretty linear and safe, no wow factor for me, but pleasant enough. As others have said its similar to a Bath & Body scent, but you can smell that the quality is better. What was surprising was the Sexy. Apparently musk automatically means more sexy to perfumers. I sprayed it on my wrists and sniffed for several hours. This struck me as a very unisex scent, almost solely masculine. Unfortunately my skin chemistry is too salty to pull off the Sexy 9 as feminine. So I gave it to my husband, not telling him that it is classified as a woman's perfume. He wears it daily and it smells wonderful on him! I think if a man is looking to wear something that would be unique among his friends, he should look into this. Especially if he likes patchouli, musk with a slightly-tart-berry that would appeal to women nearby, this would be an interesting and good choice. It is also strangely warmly spicey and icy at the same time, but I think would suit the Fall and Winter seasons best.

I sampled this recently. The initial spray bursts forth with a juicy, jammy, vibrant Blackberry. It was like when you bite into a perfectly ripe and juicy blackberry and the nectar first hits your tongue. Divine! But it quickly became too syrupy for my liking though. After 10-20 minutes I could detect the floral elements which gave it a bit of freshness and the nose a bit of a rest from the heady fruit. The initially vibrant blackberry had faded into more of a plum roundness. Lasted for HOURS on me, at least 6. By bedtime I could still smell the ends of it, but it had turned into a cheap smelling Bath and Body Works type blackberry vanilla scent. I wanted to love this because I enjoy fruity scents, but alas I did not like. On the bright side, it has real staying power!

It combines a nice, creamy and very sweet vanilla with those scented dolls from the '70s and '80s. That is the big picture. The concept seems kind of Jo Malone like, but the execution and quality are more Bath and Body Works. I smell a lot of citrus in it; it could just as easily be "Grapefruit and Vanilla Musk" as Blackberry - I don't get berry at all, though there is a dollop of sweetness. It just doesn't all add up.

A blackberry/cotton candy mess! I had high hopes considering i love blackberry and vanilla, but this did not feel fresh at all.

I would not recommend buying this fragrance unless you have it in your hands and can check the quality on site. I ordered an expensive gift set directly from the company. When it arrived. The lotion was divine. So delicious. Everything here described by others. The perfume however smelt of alcohol and burnt tires. No fruit, no vanilla notes at all. I emailed and asked for an immediate refund. Customer service just defended how well selling it is and how they have not received other complaints. Now I have to go through the hassle of shipping it back to get a refund. Definitely disheartened. UPDATE: Oil perfumery makes a lovely "inspiration" edp rollerball of this scent for around $15. Great find!

In 2000 I went on a Trish kick. Loved and I mean loved the simplicity. My heart belongs to simple as I’ve told the story time and again of growing up with women who oversprayed heavy “adult” perfumes like Giorgio and Obsession (original versions in 1984 and 85, respectively). #3 reminds me of Miracle, #4 is vanilla gardenia musk, #6 is ginger lily, the famed #9 is vanilla, white rose, blackberry, musk. Now a staple in bath shops, blackberry vanilla, but in 2000 it was an epiphany. Actually Comptoir Sud Pacifque had the divine Fruits Sauvages and I did own that, a full blue bottle when I bought this. I thought, then, that they were too similar to own both. They’re not. I regret, bitterly, swapping Fruits. It was much bolder on the bergamot and with a delicious blueberry note, not blackberry. I digress. Trish 9 remains a top five favorite to this day. Fruits Sauvages is discontinued and not even on Fragrantica. Mora Bella is an incredibly pale imitation. Weak and watery, it applies like a BBW body spray. Gone are the tangy bergamot notes and blueberry. It reminds me of BBW Black Raspberry Vanilla. I had the large aluminum can of it and went through it fast as you need a ton to detect a thing. The Trish is long lasting and beautifully composed. Plus that bottle! Strong on the vanilla here. Falling in Love is more candy like on me. Unconditional Love is as well. ***Please Please take note!*** the older bottles one may find on eBay or other retailers go BAD. Like really gross, playdough, stale gross. I recommend buying this one fresh!

Trish McEvoy 9 BLACKBERRY & VANILLA MUSK is a fresh blackberry scent with a touch of vanilla and a clean musk base. Very natural smelling and pleasing to the nose, albeit not at all profound. The longevity is not very good, and the sillage pretty low. I used more than one-third of my 6 ml roller ball just to test this today. Very light for an alleged edp. SEXY 9 BLACKBERRY & VANILLA MUSK, a flanker or special edition (not sure which, since they came together in a roller ball set...) throws some spices into the composition of the original to ramp up the "sexy" factor, and I think that it does just a touch. I believe that nutmeg is one of the spices, and there may also be a touch of amber here. I can recommend both of these creations to those looking specifically for a perfume with a dominant blackberry note. The first one is very clean and uncluttered; the second has some spiciness and a bit more complexity.

I almost missed out on this gentle wonder of a scent. It was the word "blackberry" in the title that put me off. Truth be told, I am nauseated by the fruity trend in modern perfumes. P-tooey to peach. Yuck, no! double yuck to melon. Blackberry seemed in that same revolting catagory. Was I wrong! This juice is luscious. A Madagascar vanilla is married to a fresh natural blackberry scent - perfectly tempered by musk. This lovely mix does not have the candy quality of some vanillas nor the tangy scent of fake fruit flavor. The musk is delicate, not masculine. The effect is peaceful and feminine. This fragrance is so comforting a cocoon I wear it to bed. It is a exquisite swirl of scent that I wear to boring meetings or stressful encounters. With its low sillage, I am the sole beneficiary of its quiet lovliness. Somehow, it strengthens me. Wow.

Just got this and the cream today at Nordstrom, broke the friggin bank. I do think it's overpriced, but it's a great sweet fruity scent that smells well outside the usual Bath and Body Works/Victoria's Secret fruity mess. I'm going to add a plain vanilla lotion to make it more vanilla, alone it's definitley more tart berry than vanilla with musk in the mix. I also smell citrus, I don't smell the promised cashmere woods or white rose yet, but maybe with time. Patchouli smells like death and dirt were put in a blender to me, yeah I seriously hate it, so the "Sexy" version was def not for me. But I like the original a lot, haven't worn anything else since I purchased it.

This is such a pretty, feminine fragrance - it is so girly, but definitely NOT for little girls, if that makes any sense! The blackberry and white rose notes are flirty and young, but with the musk and vanilla, it has a sensuality at its heart too that gives it depth of character that puts this perfume head and shoulders above pretty much every other "fruity floral" fragrances out there. Perfect for a woman of any age! Much better than its next closest imitator, Philosophy's Falling in Love. This is much more deep and complex, sort of like a young vs. mature red wine - same creature but one is so much better than the other!!!

I tried this today and wanted to revisit it. This has a strong berry smell to it - and has a lift, very similar to room spray, but a little softer. I'm drawn to this on days that you want to project light, happy, playful. This is not as sophisticated as the Rose Oud spray, but has a completely different function. This would be a fragrance that you could wear to a number of different events. It isn't so strong that you couldn't wear it year round. This is a great fragrance for that reason. I like it - it is definitely on my list of new fragrance purchases.

I used his perfume for years and was absolutely in love with it. I always kept re-ordering the Friday right now. This was my signature scent. Until my most recent bottle... I don’t know, if it’s my body chemistry changed, or they have a new formula, but it will not stay longer than a couple hours. I used to put ONE pump in my wrist and spread it to my other wrist and my neck and that would last me ALL DAY! I am so sad, because I truly love this scent so much. Has anybody else had this issue? Is it me, or is it the formula?

This is the first "sweet" fragrance I have ever purchased and I love it. When I purchased it at Nordstrom's, the sale rep. for Trish McEvoy said she likes to layer it with No. 6 - Mandarin and Ginger Lily. Fantastic suggestion!!! She gave me a sample of No. 6 and I ordered a bottle online last week. The delicious sweetness of No. 9 with the fresh, citrus scent of No. 6 is a wonderful combination. I've never layered perfumes before but now I'm a believer. It's absolutely my new favorite.

Like others have mentioned, this reminds me of a slightly grown up version of bath and body works wild blackberry vanilla, which I did wear all the time as a kid. Maybe that's why I'm not too blown away by it. Seems pretty overpriced for the young strip mall store vibe. It's a bit musky in the dry down, but not animalic. It's a warm, fruity vanilla. Quite sweet. Lasts a couple hours. It is inoffensive albeit unexciting. Would not repurchase. Scent: 7/10 Longevity: 5/10 Overall: 6/10

This is a hauntingly beautiful fragrance, almost ethereal on me...and it does smell almost exactly like Philosophy's Unconditional Love. However, that being said - if you have fragrance issues this is very strong. I have the rollerball version and only dab a little on my wrists and smell it all day. When I have a headache, or my allergies are acting up I cannot wear this because it will exacerbate the issue. It is a great fragrance though. I love musk and this reeks of it :)

i agree with all the comments. i went through a number of bottles of perfume + body cream+ body lotion , plus candles and soaps in the same blackburry/vanilla scent....BUT - only when i am in lust or in love.... Sorry for confession... It works miracles on men, this is my NUMBER 1 armor from my fragrance collection in love-matters.... So girls, if u want a great night with ur man-this perfume will do half the job for u !!! :-)) so u ll just lay back and enjoy! :-))

Smells like one of the Philosophy fragrances I own. Can't tell which one yet. Not distinct or unique enough for me to purchase. It is safe and unobtrusive. I think it could be unisex. It is a very ordinary fragrance. Just "nice". I agree you could find something similar and longer lasting at a lesser price point (Philosophy). If you want to spend $$$ I'd consider a different line. Vanilla fragrances are everywhere and you can recreate this for so much less money.
