Mini Vanille

I got this as a blind buy because I couldn't get my hands on a tester anywhere and it took me some time to fully discover the scent. When I first sprayed this, I regretted it for a bit because to me the 1st spray smelled a lot like orchid apricot vanilla with a humid-like scent (probably from storing for a long time). I decided to spray it a few more times because I could definitely see the potential of it being like flowerbomb and I'm happy I did that. This perfume does indeed smell a lot like flowerbomb, it's like a light version of it (toned down and a bit less sweet like @assra said). I did a side by side comparison with the original FB and this is the conclusion that I came to. The other difference is that Mini vanille has a slight orchid/apricot combo opening. This was a successful blind buy and I will definitely purchase it again, especially for the cheap price. EDIT: The other day I decided to smell Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid and I realized that Mini Vanille smells much more like ruby orchid than the OG flowerbomb. I can even say that they're dupes. It has that strong peach fruity note that ruby orchid has.

What a monster! Purchased for what translates to USD2.81 (almost only 10 cents per ml!), this perfume is surprisingly a showstopper. What starts off as a very aggressive, woody scent soon dries down into a sweet, vanilla sillage-bomb. I kid you not, someone nearly 3 meters away from me smelled this, and I had only sprayed it once on my wrist. Unbelievable. Such a complex, well-engineered scent. A hidden gem.

It might be on the cheap end of the price scale but I am finding this to be a really pleasant day-time scent for at work. On me, the top notes are a slightly caramelly, fruity vanilla, with a pleasant woody dry-down which lasts well but has minimal sillage, so it is not too intrusive for co-workers. I'd rate it as a lighter-weight, simplified dupe of Hypnotic Poison, which is reason enough to enjoy.

I love this fragrance... it's very bold and on me it lasts for ages, I can still smell it on the next day and to me it smells perfect. Very gourmand vanilla and caramel smell. Reminds me of baking and cookies, a feel good smell.

I tested it yesterday and as I said before for other minis, they cost around 3,50 EUR (5$) and for that price this is not a bad dupe for ... drumroll ... FLOWERBOMB! It's Flowerbomb in the drydown, not all the way. Staying power is weak but you can take the tiny bottles everywhere and re-apply. I would say these minis are for teens (or teen-alikes) who want the real thing but don't want to pay top $$$
