Lily Prune Sublime Vanilla

A year or so ago, I read some chatter on the Fragrance board about Lily Prune Fruity Musk. It sounded lovely, so I set out to search for it, but instead found Sublime Vanilla. I go through little spates of wearing it, so thought it was about time for a review... It’s gorgeous! I can’t stop sniffing my arm when I wear it. It's a sugary vanilla, very slightly powdery (I'm guessing from the heliotrope?), and the amber and sandalwood in it make it just divine. It’s light and airy, but also a touch earthy and sensual. Long-lasting too. The other notes are (from what I could find on the internet): cherry, plum and orange. I can't really smell these fruity notes individually, but there is a touch of fruitiness there. Such a lovely scent, and it's evoked some compliments too!

If you can’t find Sublime Vanilla anywhere (it took me a while too, just got it a week ago after months looking) just go after Mini Pink, also from Ulric de Varens and also done by Jean Claude Ellena. I have them both (Mini Pink is one of my favorite vanilla ever) and they are very VERY similar, with just a few touches here and there that differentiates them.

I really love this one! It ́s a very vanilla sweet perfume with the smell of burned milk. I know this sounds yuk but in fact it ́s a very good combination which turns out to smell delicious but only for the very sweet lovers among us. It lasts for about 6-8 hours on the skin and costs just a few dollar so a good deal.

My ALL TIME FAVOURITE perfume and now I can't seem to buy it anywhere, so so sad about the fact that it isn't made any more because I got more compliments when I wore that than when I wore my expensive designer fragrances!!!! If anyone knows where I could get my hands on this again, please please let me know!!! :o)

its great! even if it is not so expensive it lasts more than aother very expensive perfumes and the best vanilla perfume i have smell so far!!

I noticed this one only because the nose behind it is the famous Jean-Claude Ellena. He workd for UDV for at least three perfumes including Sublime Vanilla. Sublime Vanilla is not that vanilla-ish as its name suggested. It starts very foody, sour cheery and plums bring lots of sweetness, and smells sticky enough. The hint of vanilla is wrapped inside that sticky sweetness. On me, it's even a bit smokey(maybe sandalwoods?), but when settles down, it's quite soft and cozy. And still, you won't find clear vanilla notes, you can only smell the hint of it now and then. It doesn't work well on my skin, my body chemistry seems always over-highlight the sweet part of the perfume. well, I think this is perfect for young girls. Its price is quite low and the smell is not bad(maybe it works on you perfectly).

i bought it cos my brother asked me to buy it. the smell is very sensual and has character. i like it

I got this perfume in a nice little stash gifted off a freind ( which included the wonderful "Arrogance Femme" ). This one is not really to my taste . I do detect a hint of sour cherry or plum in the opening as "Sophywt" has mentioned. . . Once the overpowering cheap alcohol smell has dissapeared. It doesnt smell overly vanillic to me . It would be better if the vanilla was stonger IMO. Its a bit vanilla , a bit fruity , a bit smoky, Its Ok , not really bold or interesting enough for my tastes . Up for swop if anyone wants it ! To be honest i was surprised to find this on fragrantica , as i assumed it to be a £1 shop/unknown super cheapie brand or a childs perfume. Even more astonished to discover the "Nose" behind it has created scents for Hermes , Fredrick Malle , et al!

Opens sour, must be the plum or cherry. Then it settles down smoky sweet and kinda sticky vanilla. I still don't know if I like it or not. It is a grown up vanilla something like guerlain double vanille.

With only 2 sprays, the sillage was ENORMOUS. It was so strong that it would give me headaches... I’d have to wait a few hours (once the SWEET VANILLA scent would soften) to appreciate it.

I had one of Lily Prune series I bought it when I was a student and this series was cheap ) This series is nice for teens.

I have a bottle of this available, so if anyone is interested, let me know via PM.

19 years ago and I couldn’t forget about it. My first love
