Bare Vanilla Starlit

another absolute banger from vs. like fairycoffins said, i think this is very similar to autumn shore with its dry smoky notes, but with the added bare vanilla dna. like autumn shore, it's definitely a unisex scent to me and i wouldn't say it's blind buy safe if you're looking for a more mass-appealing vanilla, but please do give it a sniff if you're in stores. if you're looking for a gourmand, super sweet vanilla, this isn't it, but it is an amazing scent. perfect for a cold night. on clothes, i mostly get the smoky notes, but the vanilla and orchid become very distinct on my skin and make it lean slightly more feminine. it's honestly such a confidence booster for me, it makes me feel so sultry and sexy. plus, the smoky/woody notes give it great longevity!

Take the smoky vanilla from last year’s Autumn Shore, and mix it with the orchid from BV Cashmere, and you get BV Starlit. Absolutely gorgeous scent. Might be a little redundant if you already own the other scents mentioned, but I can never have enough vanillas (especially smoky ones) and this is so dreamy! This should layer beautifully with By The Fireplace, and it would add a bit of darkness to more plain vanillas. Glad I blind bought this.

If you missed out on Bare Vanilla Cashmere, this is definitely your chance to experience it. It's honestly the same minus that patcholi note, plus more of that orchid note. It's really sweet. I might stock up on this one too

Winter Night Scent Bare Vanilla Starlit is a unique and mature fragrance with an intense, smoky note that may not appeal to those who prefer sweeter, floral aromas. At first, it strikes with its strong smoky characteristics, creating a wintry, frosty atmosphere. Over time, delicate notes of vanilla and orchid begin to appear, adding warmth and subtlety to the overall scent. This is a decidedly unisex fragrance, suitable for both men and women. It is far from the traditional sweet, feminine compositions and evokes the feeling of a cold winter evening. If you are looking for something light and floral, this is unlikely to be the fragrance for you. However, if you enjoy deeper, smoky notes, this fragrance has something appealing about it.

Why is this mist listed on the website twice?? 😭 Anyway, I'll add my review to this one as well!! ~ This is VERY soft & faint, but it's nice. Honestly, mostly all I get is the vanilla and orchid. The "smoky" note is basically nonexistent, which surprised me. It does still have that cozy vibe, and it's also not super sweet, so if you dislike the usual super sweet bare vanilla flankers, you'd enjoy this. I actually do enjoy the scent and will use up the whole bottle; it just doesn't stick out enough to me. It's nothing special. I probably wouldn't repurchase. Bare vanilla brulee & bare vanilla cashmere are way better options imo
