I tried it years ago, but it didn’t suit my skin and didn’t last long, so I discontinued it.

Such a feminine, delicate, and warm scent! I picked it up in NY 12 years ago and still have 15ml of the original bottle… I don’t want to use it up, but I tried it today and it seems to have changed a bit… Anyway, I felt it again because I bought Adolfo Domínguez’s Jasmin Tonka and thought, ‘it reminds me of Pure A Drop of Vanilla’. They share notes, so Jasmin Tonka will become my dupe.

I absolutely love this fragrance; I still have a bottle that I use sparingly because I can’t find it anymore.

A perfume delight; it hurts that they discontinued it. It’s elegant, sweet without being cloying, and has a sillage that you simply can’t find anymore.

On the skin, the first thing you smell is a potent spiced sandalwood that then settles into a natural vanilla, nothing sugary or dessert-like. As they say in English, it’s the vanilla for people who don’t like vanilla perfumes. It works great for fall and winter due to the warmth and spices, though those who love strong oriental scents might find it more of a spring scent. The trail is moderate but lasts forever. I bought it blind and it’s not bad, but it doesn’t win me over. I’ll use it starting in October, but I won’t repurchase; from this line, I always stick with the fresh, summery DKNY Pure Verbena, which I’ll never tire of.

Its vanilla note stands out, probably along with white amber, but with a freshness that makes it ideal for daytime and daily wear, whether indoors or out. It has good presence without being invasive; it’s a scent that evokes the late 80s and 90s, a decent investment for 30ml.
