Pure art for vanilla lovers. 10/10 ❤️
The vanilla is sublime…😏👌🏻 ➡️ Sublime Vanille is wonderfully simple: it opens with a light, refined, powdery vanilla, where lemon and white bergamot welcome you. This sweet-citrus tone is fantastic. It’s not cloying, showy, or artificial. As it dries down, the citrus leaves it alone, making it a bit boring until it fades, with no other nuances. Very easy to wear, unisex, and with modest performance—exactly what I’m looking for. Why do I want a vanilla that lasts 10-12 hours projecting strongly? When you’ve been wearing cowboy boots for hours, you want to take them off. Don’t you think? With Sublime Vanille, if you want to restart the journey, you simply reapply without tiring; it’s daily and functional. I’m not a vanilla fan, but here I love it. Light, elegant, discreet, and above all… functional. US$545- for 75 ml. It’s hard to swallow the price because it’s not spectacular, but it’s not made to leave your jaw dropping. Not all perfumes aim to ‘blow your mind’. That’s fantasy. I was looking for refinement, quality, and something that wouldn’t tire me, and I found it. I searched for a ‘reasonable’ price and paid US$350-, which is still high but worth it. One of the best from Creed alongside: Spice & Wood, Royal Oud, Green Irish Tweed, Jardin D’Amalfi, and Bois du Portugal. An 8 is fair ✨
I blind-tested it and at first it sounded something like Shalimar (the EDP, of course not). It’s citrusy, vanilla-infused, balsamic, and floral. I’m not the first to compare it to Shalimar. It has quality with an absolutely unjustified price. It also recalls things already known, especially at the start, because the base is quite original: when the freshness seems to have gone, the citrus returns and lingers in the dry-down. The vanilla and tonka are there from start to finish. It’s a simple scent without excess, but very well made. The performance isn’t spectacular, but it is above what I read.
Beautiful fragrance. Natural, refined, and well-balanced vanilla. Soft projection and poor longevity. The price is exorbitant.
On my skin, this perfume turned out to be too soft. The vanilla is perceived very lightly. At one point I could only detect a hint of tonka bean and citrus, but not fresh and sparkling ones, rather dull ones. Like those times when you taste an orange and it tastes more like water than anything else. Perhaps in warmer weather the scent will be different, and I’ll certainly give it another chance. For now, I’ll have to wait.
