This is Us!

Mmmh, milky sandalwood! The opening is so fresh and milky, it really smells like a cold vanilla milk with a hint of fruit added in. Maybe banana, apricot and orange. But there is also clean white musk shining through to balance the composition. As it dries down sandalwood shines more and more. It really shows its warm, woody, creamy and toasty facets. There is still a hint of vanilla to add a sweetness, almost like brown sugar. This is quite a simple, but loveable scent. There is nothing scratchy or harsh in this. For some reason I excepted this to have that diffuse, fuzzy vibe you often find in 'molecule' kind of fragrances, but luckily, it doesn't. On my skin I perceive it as a feminine scent, but I think this might be one of those fragrances that emphasize the wearer's looks and character traits and don't add much of their own. It's not a loud statement scent, more like a soft cocoon to feel comfortable in. So I see no reason why this shouldn't be unisex. In the end perfume is a matter of personal style anyways, and not necessarily of gender. I enjoy This Is Us much more than This Is Her and I don't think they smell alike, but they make sense together as a part of a collection. This is a great fragrance for almost every occasion. Only thing I'm not a big fan of is the bottle.

It opens up as a strong mysterious and enigmatic vanilla. And then it dries off to something that is disgustingly beautiful, sweet, innocent but devilish. And trust me, I’m not a big fan of sweet scents but this tops all of that. It’s a fun and intense fragrance. NOT a massive crowd pleaser and very niche. It’s giving I’m cute and I want your love kind of boy but I’m also independent and this is just a game to me. Subversive. From the moment you spray it on your skin you’ll know it’s different, almost like an exotic vanilla that came from another world. I would argue it’s meant to be worn by men who are at peace with their feminine side. Definitely meant to be worn during winter. Adaptable to both day and night. Good sillage and longevity for an eau de toilette, although not outstanding regarding that matter. Not a safe blind buy. I can see myself using this while trying to lure a guy into my fun little love game. Kinky. Wouldn’t use it on a first date unless you’re bold and are looking for someone who’s equally different minded. 9 out of 10.

There's a note missing in the pyramid over here. The notes listed on the official website is: 🌼 Vanilla, cashmere, sandalwood, patchouli & musky notes! This is really surprising. I love how different this is compared to everything else I own. It's not sugary sweet or super feminine. It's actually cool. It's very comforting, woody, aromatic and very unisex. I feel like it's effortlessly sexy and alluring, it is flirty without being blatant. The vanilla, musk and cashmere makes it slightly powdery and warm whilst the patchouli and sandalwood makes it earthy and bold. I love how it merges with my skin and smells quite natural! There is something here that makes me think about green/unripe clementine if I let my imagination run. Other times I sense mint. It's a clean, fresh, warm and cozy perfume. It makes me feel empowered, confident, sensual and grounded. This is definitely something I would want to wear every day!

Sweet but not sickly so, creamy, cosy, this is for me ticks all the boxes. The first notes remind me of cinnamon somehow, it comes off really strong. When i first smelled it i was put off by that initial splash. But seconds after i couldn’t stop smelling my wrist, it was an addictive scent. The vanilla in this one takes over the other notes but i can still smell the sandalwood. It all blends together in a scent reminiscent of cashmere. I actually prefer This is Us to This is Her (or the green version which name i couldn’t remember) because it’s softer and fresher. This is Her to me seems too sweet. The longevity is quite okay, on me i don’t feel that it lasts as much as on others (i’d say it’s around 4-5 hours? That or my nose already got used to it) This is a great fragrance for vanilla lovers that want a atraightforward scent, but also cosy and cashmere-like. Strong and delicate at the same time

At first I thought this was a tad too fruity for my taste. Reminds me of a banana milkshake or yogurt with vanilla. From this you can already tell it has a fair amount of sweetness, which I love, but I don't think most men would be comfortable wearing this. I challenge you to, if you like it! It is rather unique, very long-lasting (more than 10 hours!), and decently projecting fragrance. I believe some people might find this cloying in the heat, but spraying moderately would work around that issue. It's not that it's warm, but the fruity sweetness might be too much in certain conditions. I definitely changed my mind about it: it isn't close to being one of my favorites, but the quality is out of question. You have to try this if you like sweet scents and you want to discover something different and new.
