Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine

I can't get enough of vanilla based fragrances these days and Vanilla Jasmine definitely satisfies my vanilla obsession! The first thing I noticed is the cedarwood combined with a sweet vanilla. The cedar in this is different than most fragrances with that note. Instead of being super woodsy it adds a spicy flair to all the layers creating an earthy musky smokey bourbon type vanilla. Heliotrope, one of my favorite flowers is the prominent floral on my skin. Heliotrope is reminiscent of vanilla, powdery creamy and sweet. Off and on I get little whiffs of orchid. I honestly don't smell jasmine, its nowhere to be found on me. I would recommend this to vanilla lovers only.. Vanilla Jasmine is a soft perfume, with average lasting power. I tried the body mist and it was way lighter and smelled of alcohol. The EDP is a better buy! This has similarities to Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Vanille Gourmande but nowhere near as strong in silage and lasting power. It does smell like a stronger and better quality version of VS Vanilla Lace. Vanilla bean orchid, living purple orchid, jasmine absolute, cedarwood and heliotrope are the notes for VS Vanilla Jasmine.

Put it on in the morning before work and the scent stays until evening. This scent is AMAZING, simplistic and delicious. A good blend that kind of reminds me of warm oatmeal sprinkled with cocoa powder. Maybe that's a bad description, but it is a creamy, warm and comforting food, as well as scent. I get so many compliments on it from both men and women! Men love it and women want to have it for themselves. I consider this an innocent sexy. For the woman who doesn't need to scream it, she just is! The jasmine isn't overpowering either, just enough floral to brighten it up and make it sparkle with the vanilla. The woody undertone of cashmere makes it somewhat earthy. There is also powdery heliotrope not listed here. I've been wearing this ever since it came out. I almost cried when I realized they discontinued it. I stocked up on the VS website and bought 3 bottles on clearance and have been rationing it since. This was one of my signature scents and now it's gone forever. So sad!

This is a beautiful vanilla fragrance. It's smooth and creamy and reminds me of clotted cream. All the notes are so well blended that you can detect them all - the vanilla, the soft flowers and gentle wood grounding it. It's very cosy and has the same kind of feeling as So Hooked on Carmella. It's linear, but when it smells this wonderful you don't want it to change. Feminine, relaxed, dreamy. The packaging is so cute too. Staying power and sillage both great, so you're in this divine little cloud when you wear it. More for cooler weather I feel. I have no idea why this was discontinued but I really hope they bring it back! If VS can make fragrances this well I don't see why they don't do it more often.

This fragrance is well balanced. Actually, the entire Parfums Intimes line is well-made and a far cry from other cute, Pink stuff VS is selling. Parfums Intimes is very grown up and sensual, and Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine fits right in. Gourmand, but not the screaming, extremely foody, cloying vanilla. Instead it is the warm, close to the skin, almost powdered sugar cookie type of smell. I love Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine, especially sprayed before going to bed--on my pulse points, clothes and negligee. I really don't get why VS discontinued the entire Parfums Intimes line!

Wood, wood, and more wood... and it's a fluffy, soft wood that I absolutely LOVE... and I don't even like wood! Lovely, sweet, non-indolic jasmines wafting along with the vanilla. No foody stuff, no over-crowding of too many notes or an ambition to be oh-so-different... Just a clean, silky wood and that beautiful fragrant, vanillic flower. This is a bewitching perfume I cherish with all my heart. Some may balk at it but that sort of makes me happy. That way I can have all the left over bottles of this discontinued gem all to myself!!:)
