  It smells like a vanilla biscuit, sweet and comforting. It’s an extract and lasts all day. By the way, it smells very similar to BBW’s Vanilla Bean Noe.

  It smells like vanilla ice cream… I’m not sure if I want to literally smell like that, to be honest.

  One of the sweetest vanillas of the season, but watch out: being an extract, its projection is low. I don’t understand the TikTok or internet hype, especially with that price. Exaggerated or paid reviews don’t deceive: it doesn’t ‘fill rooms’ as they say, which is a pity because it smells lovely. It lasts about five hours and then weakens, needing re-application. Don’t misunderstand me, I love the scent, but for that price, I prefer other options that offer a better experience and performance. EDIT: In the end, fate took a turn, and I bought it. Since I tried it, I couldn’t stop wanting it; I adore gourmands. Although I still think the projection is weak, the longevity has pleasantly surprised me, and I enjoy every application.

  One of the sweetest vanillas to come out recently, but watch out: although it’s an extract, its projection is low. I don’t understand the TikTok or internet hype, especially with that price.

  Good heavens, what a rich scent. I jumped in blindly, and honestly, I wasn’t entirely convinced, as I’d read contradictory reviews, from those captivated by this essence to those disappointed it didn’t meet their expectations. I’ll state directly what it smells like to me: ‘exquisite slightly toasted caramelised vanilla’. And that’s it. I have a sample of the famous Tihota vanilla, and honestly, they smell almost identical, with that caramel nuance slightly ‘burnt’, which Tihota lacks. But that nuance is very light (it’s like very lightly toasted, but extremely light on my nose). If you like Tihota, you’ll love this gourmand treat too. About 95% similar, but for the same price, this one comes with double the quantity. A gourmand aroma, absolutely appetising, and linear throughout the fragrance’s duration. I consider it a staple in any gourmand wardrobe. As for longevity, it’s very good in my case (as you know, this depends on everyone). It lasts eight hours; regarding projection, it’s moderate, but you’ll smell yourself constantly. Unisex: although honestly, I no longer have a criterion for these things, as I buy any fragrance I like, regardless of the marketed gender, but I’m saying this in case any man is interested and lets himself be guided only by Fragrantica votes, which list it as slightly more feminine. I’m totally comfortable with it, and no one has told me it smells feminine.

  What a delightful perfume. At first, I was put off by the burnt sugar smell in the opening, but the best comes when you let it settle a bit, giving way to one of the finest vanillas I’ve ever smelled. It’s not a heavy or pastry-like vanilla, but rather a warm one with that gourmand touch from the sugar note. As a gourmand lover, it’s a must-have. If it’s true that it’s not a powerful scent and doesn’t have much of a trail, the longevity is incredible; I could even detect it the next day after applying it. I understand what puts people off is the price, but as a vanilla fan, I’m absolutely thrilled.

  What a delight. At first, that burnt sugar smell in the opening put me off a bit, but as it dried down a little, it gave way to one of the finest vanillas I’ve ever smelled. It’s not a heavy or pastry-like vanilla, but a warm one with that gourmand touch from the sugar note. For a gourmand lover, it’s a must-have. If it’s true that it’s not powerful and doesn’t have much of a trail, the longevity is incredible; I noticed it the next day. I understand what puts people off is the price, but as a vanilla fan, I’m absolutely thrilled.

  It smells about 90% like the Yves Rocher Vanilla Cologne. I love it. It bears no resemblance to Bianco Latte; it might even be closer to the musky-sweet touch of Yum Boudoir.

  I didn’t like it at all in the beginning. A rather repulsive burnt sugar note, especially in the opening, where I couldn’t smell anything else. Then, as it dried down, things improved… but that burnt sugar note remains, lingering in the background. It improves significantly; the vanilla they’ve used here is devilishly good… I understand its fame in the dry-down; it’s highly addictive, you want to smell it more and more. But unfortunately, its opening scares me too much to endure it and reach the dry-down. I’ll give it more chances on my skin these weeks and will post an update.

  It’s been a right letdown. The opening smells of burnt sugar, pretty repulsive, and nothing else comes through, especially right when you first spray it. Then, as it dries down, I suppose it does improve… but that burnt sugar note lingers in the background. The vanilla they’ve used here is devilishly good… I understand its reputation in the dry-down; it’s highly addictive, you just want to smell it more and more. Unfortunately, the opening is so off-putting that I can’t bear it long enough to enjoy the dry-down. I’ll give it a few more chances on my skin over the coming weeks and will post an update.

  I know it doesn’t contain coffee, yet it smells just like Amore Caffe. I absolutely love that initial burnt sugar note, all driven by an incredibly deep vanilla. It’s as if you took the coffee out of Amore and were left with just that caramelised sensation from the dry-down.
