Dark Vanilla

I love vanilla, and this version is nice, but didn't really stand out to me as something memorable. It's mellower than say, Very Vanilla, a little richer in quality, but sweeter, more gourmand/epicurean, if you're into that.
My kids both reacted to it when I put it on, said I smelled like donuts. To them, definitely a good thing.

After a few minutes of wearing it, the smell was just perfect. Exactly what I imagined that it would smell by reading what it contains and the comments before buying it. Love it!! Thank you for making these lovely fragrances

disclaimer:
i don't like the scents of coconut or almonds.

this is not at all what i was hoping for... it has a definite cherry-almond kind of scent to it. not entirely unlike classic Jergens lotion. at first i thought there was a bit of a coconut thing going on, too, but that seems to have faded.

fans of O from BPAL will likely enjoy this.

This is just a beautiful, rich, opulent, vanilla which as its name implies, leans toward the darker vanilla side. There is absolutely no mistaking what you are wearing and the lack of alcohol in this magnificent oil does NOT mean that it lacks adequate "throw." This is not really a vanilla for those looking for a light dessert-like confectionary scent. This is a deep vanilla, which brings to mind the deep scent of a quality vanilla bean. LOVE it!!!

I actually love this more than the version of Shalimar (& Shalimar is my favorite scent ever). This is more vanilla-like with that nice, soft hint of powder that I just adore. It is now going to replace Shalimar for me when I order.
