Midnight Exotics Forbidden Vanilla

Notes (on bottle): vanilla noir & velvet teakwood A sweet, flirty, warm, sensual, woody, playful, seductive, cozy, and a somewhat deep vanilla. Such a sexy vanilla! I absolutely love this one! It’s a sweet, warm, woody, and somewhat deep vanilla. Not something super deep, dark, and sexy, but the kind that’s more of a somewhat deep, sweet, flirty, playful, and teasing kind of sexy. I feel like it’s more elevated than a lot of the vanillas that you’d find at VS or B&BW because of the velvet teakwood note. It adds a really nice warm, woody, and sensual depth to the sweet and cozy vanilla. It’s super wearable, so a very easy reach. I love it the most during the fall and winter because of its sweet, woody, and cozy warmth, but I think it does work well all year round. It’s very beautiful and you just really can’t go wrong with this one. I really wish they would bring this gem back! I’ve always gotten great performance with these older VS mists. The longevity is really good, it lasts the whole day on me. The projection is nice too, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me. For reference, just some of my other favorite vanillas include Gold Sugar, VS Vanilla Lace, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Phlur Vanilla Skin, Nest Golden Nectar, Nest Vanilla Bourbon, Donna Karen Cashmere & Palo Santo, Burberry Goddess, SDJ Summer è Amor, SDJ 62, VS Coconut Passion, B&BW Cozy Vanilla Bourbon, and B&BW Vanilla Romance.

This is the perfect woody-vanilla. Sadly, I can’t seem to find a bottle of this anymore. Until I came across BBW’s Bonfire Bash. And boy, they do smell the same. It’s like they just repackaged it.
