This is the first Bohoboco Discovery Set perfume I’ve tried. I picked it first because it was their debut creation, and I wrongly assumed it would be the least stimulating in the range. I loved it. It’s a linear, skin-scent fragrance with a vanilla reminiscent of Zara’s Vanilla French Elegance or the discontinued Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher: not overly sweet, far from gourmand or bakery-like, very aromatic with a woody touch. It’s paired with a notable black pepper that gives it an interesting, addictive kick. Compared to Vanilla French Elegance, this is less citrusy and has that pepper note that hooks me. As for Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher, from memory, it was more woody, dense, deep, and sweet. It has a soft sillage, it’s a skin scent—perhaps its weakness—and lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin. While it probably won’t be the one I gift myself this Christmas among the eleven contenders, I adored it and would enjoy it a lot in my collection. Who knows… Maybe it will win. Scent 8/10, Longevity 5.5/10, Sillage 6/10, Value for Money 6.5/10, Versatility 7.5/10, Packaging 7/10. Would I buy it again? I didn’t purchase it.
