Even though the scent didn't immediately bring vanilla to mind, it was still very gentle. The initial whiff was a bit bitter, almost sharp, but thankfully that faded in seconds. The scent reminds me most of whipped cream, but clearly fades to the scent of vanilla sugar. The small jar will surely last a long time, as you don't need much perfume at once.
The scent lasted for many hours without any "priming" (tip: if the perfume feels like it's fading too quickly, apply a bit of any unscented/perfume-like cream before you spray your perfume)
So, it’s been a while since I smelled a dried raw vanilla bean, but it basically smells like that. Think vanilla powder instead of vanilla sugar. Not a new favorite for me, but I can absolutely imagine it smelling good on others, and after a while, the scent becomes just right. So if you like vanilla powder, this is definitely the scent for you!
At first, I thought it was too strong. But now that I've gotten used to it, I like it! Lasts all day and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it, so it will definitely be purchased more times.
