  1. Surprisingly cheap. Although it has a synthetic touch, it evolves and projects well. At first, it’s a pleasant, attractive floral vanilla; as it dries down, it leaves a sweet, playful white musk. For a low-cost perfume, the performance really caught me off guard.

  2. Surprisingly cheap. Although it smells synthetic, it evolves and projects well. At first, it’s an attractive floral vanilla, and it dries down to an undeclared, playful white musk. With so many niche perfumes out there, I’m surprised at what this low-cost option offers.

    One of my top vanillas. I don’t feel it’s synthetic; I love it more dry because it smells creamy, probably thanks to that coconut I adore. It reminds me of coconut cookies. The longevity and sillage are brutal. I bought the small size, but I’m definitely upgrading to the big one.

    It’s one of my top vanillas and doesn’t smell synthetic to me. I love it more once it settles than right when I spray it, because that’s when I notice something creamy, probably coconut, which is my favorite note. It reminds me of coconut cookies. The longevity and sillage are brutal; I already bought the small size, but I’m definitely upgrading to the large one.

  5. At first, it smells a lot like the discontinued Yves Rocher Bourbon Vanilla. Dry down is like a doll straight out of the box, which I don’t mind since I’ve always liked that scent. That plastic note might seem synthetic, but it doesn’t repel me like it does with other perfumes; it’s tolerable and even part of the charm. Intimate sillage and acceptable longevity. Perfect for leisure, staying in to watch movies, or a first date where you want to invite someone closer without making a big declaration. Some say it smells like Play-Doh, but to me it doesn’t; it’s also not like L’Erbolario’s Mandorla, which is more powdery, though it does resemble Vanilla Lace. They say it’s tropical because of the coconut, but no, it smells quite linear with few distinguishable notes, which isn’t a problem for me. In short: 30ml for 4 euros on makeup.es. Even if you’re just buying it to avoid shipping costs on another item, toss it in the cart. I loved it and can’t ask for more at this price. I’ll probably reorder when it runs out.

Perfect for leisure, staying home, or dates where you want someone to get closer without you saying much. Some say it smells like Play-Doh, but to me it doesn’t; it’s also not like L’Erbolario’s Mandorla, which is more complex, though it does resemble Vanilla Lace. Even though people say it’s tropical because of the coconut, it smells linear and you don’t notice many notes, which is perfect for me. 30ml for 4 euros on makeup.es, throw it in the cart just to avoid shipping costs. I loved it and will reorder when it runs out.

  7. I really enjoy this vanilla for its excellent quality-to-price ratio. It leaves a rich scent on the skin and, unlike others, doesn’t smell synthetic to me. I detect coconut, a floral note with gardenia, and a slightly powdery base. It’s very pleasant; on my skin, it lasts six to seven hours. Moderate sillage. Sometimes there are unexpected bursts of the scent throughout the day. At 3.95 euros, the quality is unbeatable. I wear it alone or layer it with other fragrances to add that extra vanilla touch.

  8. Smells like a supermarket air freshener, super synthetic. I don’t recommend it, but I do recommend other La Rive scents.

  10. I’m blown away by the sheer number of notes! To me, it’s synthetic vanilla but incredibly delicious. I guess I detect a hint of peach and lots of coconut, but nothing else. It’s sweet without being cloying. I use it alone or as a base to boost other vanillas. Moderate-to-high sillage and it lasts 8 hours, which is beastly for 4 euros. The only downside: it only comes in 30ml, and I need more, but it’s perfect for a purse. Would I buy it again? Yes.
