Have you worn 402 vanilla, toffee, sandalwood?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Mitafragance

    It smells nice, but that’s it. It lacks that mysterious touch other houses usually provide; here, minimalism has won everything. Technically, it smells good, and that’s all.

  2. Sweet vanilla, pretty but simple. On my skin, it faded quickly: max 3 hours. It lacks the complexity its price deserves and doesn’t last long enough to go out in. I wore it only at home and passed it to someone else. Scent 5/10, longevity 3/10, sillage 5.5/10, value 2/10, versatility 2/10, packaging 7/10. I wouldn’t buy it again.

  3. Sweet vanilla, pleasant but simple, with poor performance on my skin. It passed through my collection quickly. It didn’t last long enough to wear out, nor does it have the complexity its price deserves. I used it only at home and passed it on to someone else. Soft sillage, max 3 hours longevity. Scent 5/10, longevity 3/10, sillage 5.5/10, value 2/10, versatility 2/10, packaging 7/10. Would not buy again.

    It smells nice, but I feel something is missing to finish it off. The scent is pretty, but the vanilla is generic and it’s gone after two hours.

  5. Fragrantica says it smells like vanilla candles from Ikea or Zara Home, and they’re right—it’s exactly that. I only see it as interesting for blending. My bottle is from an exchange program, and I wouldn’t pay its price. It seems linear, boring, with little sillage and longevity. I only smell vanilla and sugar, no almond or heliotrope. From this brand, which I’ve tried about six perfumes from, I haven’t liked any of them and I no longer have any curiosity.

    Smells spectacular and super natural. I’ve never heard Madagascar vanilla taste this rich. It’s wonderful. Slightly powdery, but not annoying. Madagascar vanilla, heliotrope, and almond blossom take the lead. The downside is the sillage: it becomes a one-person bubble in just two minutes. Lasts only about 7 hours and is only noticeable to those standing very close. Perfect for indoors or when cuddling with your partner. Despite the weak projection, it smells amazing and is deeply comforting.
