Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Tested in the dead of winter, this is a vanilla bomb with sandalwood that smells like natural, rich vanilla. The base is orchestrated to highlight that creamy gourmand vibe, with a liquor note that isn’t the star but adds complexity. It’s elegant, clean, and high quality—perfect if you’re looking for something safe without drawing negative attention. It smells very feminine on me, ideal for a bridesmaid. Although I haven’t tried it in summer, in the cold, that boozy touch is so appreciated.
What a delight! Although longevity isn’t its strong suit and the liquor note is barely noticeable, this isn’t simple vanilla. On my skin, it smells like spiced vanilla over velvet that dries down beautifully with the sandalwood to create creaminess. I’d place it between Spirituose Double Vanilla and Diorama, though those last longer. It’s pricey, but I caught it on sale and have no regrets: people stopped me to ask what I was wearing, so it’s worth the find.
It’s a woody, talc-like vanilla—delicious but somewhat simple. I didn’t feel the boozy notes it promised; I expected something denser. It has a soft sillage and lasts 4-5 hours. If you want something similar for about one-tenth of the price, try Jessica Simpson’s Fancy or Yves Rocher’s Nuit Vanille (even though it’s discontinued). It’s not worth the 245 euros from Micallef. Scent: 8/10, Longevity: 4.5/10, Sillage: 6/10, Value: 2/10, Packaging: 9/10. I wouldn’t buy it again.
I have the new version and it’s a total rip-off for the price: on my skin, it doesn’t last even two hours and smells skin-close from the very first moment. Nothing like what it costs.
I’d say it’s unisex thanks to those boozy notes and amber. It’s a very rich and long-lasting scent, with nuances that remind me of Initio’s florals—very interesting.
