Warm and sparkling vanilla for the first 20 minutes, then it fades to a skin scent. Smells nice but it’s short-lived and not very original. Perfect for your pillow before bed or while watching a movie, but most other times no one will notice you’re wearing it, not even you.

Vanilla and pineapple—a weird combo. Someone said it reminds them of Givenchy Pi… I don’t know, they sound nothing alike. In Pi, the vanilla is creamy and gourmand with almond, like a dessert or flan. Here, the vanilla is rougher, paired with acidic pineapple, giving an unpleasant vibe. They just don’t blend well; it smells like floor cleaner. Honestly, I don’t recommend it, at least try it before buying.

Cardamom and vanilla dominate. Very pleasant, great for daily wear—soft and agreeable. The only downside is the longevity.

Sweet, pleasant, and vanilla-forward, but lacks projection and staying power. That said, if you find it on sale, it’s a good pick.

It’s sweet, pleasant, and vanilla-scented, but it has poor projection and longevity. However, if you find it on sale, it’s a good option.

Definitely worth the price. It’s similar to Givenchy Pi but with a dustier, powdery twist, while Givenchy Pi feels more like a camphorated liqueur thanks to the benzoin, which adds a smoky medicinal balm note. Here, you get rich tobacco mixed with vanilla, sandalwood, and musk. Maybe it’s not the longest-lasting, but it’s delicious and absolutely worth buying more bottles of this treasure.

I love it; it’s a sensual masculine vanilla with tobacco and cardamomo. It reminds me of my husband when we were dating, and I loved that time. Now that I have it again, it brings back those beautiful memories. I love it!

I love it—sensual masculine vanilla with hints of tobacco and cardamom. It reminds me of my husband when we were dating; I adored it, and now that he’s wearing it again, it brings back those beautiful memories. I’m obsessed!

Bourbon vanilla, sensual, delicate, and flavorful. It starts with tobacco and pineapple, ending in light woods, but that bourbon vanilla always dominates. I didn’t know I liked it so much until I discovered it. What a great way to handle vanilla and dress it up with those nuances. It’s been on the market for over twenty years, which says a lot about its quality. The bottle looks like Chinese or Japanese architecture, clearly paying homage to oriental fragrances.

Alcohol-infused vanilla: sensual, delicate, and tasty. It opens with tobacco and pineapple, settling into woody notes, though vanilla remains the star throughout. I never realized how much I loved vanilla until I discovered this fragrance. What a magnificent way to craft and embellish it with the nuances the perfumer added. It’s been on the market for over 20 years, which speaks to its quality. The bottle looks like Chinese or Japanese architecture, clearly paying homage to oriental fragrances.

Warm fragrance, but not a full-on gourmand; can be worn during the day. What stands out most is the vanilla, but not the edible kind; it’s more fruity, perhaps due to the peach. At first, it might smell like detergent, but once it settles on the skin, it improves. Out of ten, I give it a four because it’s not a scent that drives me crazy.

Warm, yet not fully gourmand, so it could easily be worn during the day. The most noticeable note is vanilla, but not edible—it’s more fruity, perhaps due to the peach note mentioned on Fragrantica. At first, it might smell like detergent, but as it settles on your skin, it improves. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a 4; it’s not a scent that drives me wild.
Querubin
It doesn’t last long on my skin. I used it several years ago and liked it for personal use, but I wouldn’t buy it again; I switched to Givenchy Pi. I don’t recommend it—there are better vanillas out there; it’s just a matter of searching.

I don’t like it. Maybe the ingredients break down over time. Right after spraying, besides the vanilla, you get a smell of surface cleaner. It reminds me of a grumpy cleaner, sharp and acidic to the point of being annoying. To be honest, the actual Pinol (floor cleaner) smells better. I agree with Punk77; perhaps the poorly executed pineapple-vanilla combo ruins what they’re trying to project. One possible use would be turning it into a scented candle, since the vanilla note can still be salvaged. But for someone to be identified by smelling like this? Absolutely not.
Punk77
Doesn’t work for me. After fifteen minutes, it clings to the skin, and that pineapple-vanilla blend smells like vinegar instead of sweetening. If you’re looking for sweet vanilla, go for the women’s version or head straight to Givenchy’s Pi.

This is my first review, and I have to say: it was a brutal disappointment. I put it on, and after fifteen minutes, my wife had to press her face right against my neck just to catch a whiff. The performance is terrible. I know it’s an affordable brand and costs less than designer scents, but I never thought it could be this bad.

I love it; it smells exquisite of fruit and vanilla. It starts with peach and a metallic pineapple that reminded me of Nautica Blue, but without the shampoo scent. Then it warms up and becomes romantic with cardamom and vanilla. It doesn’t last long, maybe three or four hours, and projects one to two inches, but for the ridiculously low price, I don’t even think twice. Perfect for short dates or being close to someone. Scent 8/10, Projection 5/10, Longevity 6/10, Price 10/10, Versatility 7/10. Not suitable for loud places like pubs or parties.
