Scent Description: Raw Vanilla Pods, Vanilla Infused Sugar, Cream & Vanilla Extract. Our Rich House Vanilla.
The opening smells like brownies soaked in liquor. I’m glad I read the description, because this fragrance is supposed to have rich, chocolately nuances, reminiscent of smelling actual vanilla beans. I don’t love the opening and find it a bit harsh, but thankfully the drydown is much better. This is the closest I’ve found to a fragrance that smells like real vanilla extract. Despite having a cream note, I don’t find it as smooth and creamy as I like my vanillas to be. I’ve also realized that I prefer something resinous and woody to anchor vanilla in a fragrance, and don’t find this “round” enough for me. Doesn’t have the best projectjon and longevity, but still a must try for vanilla lovers.
A pure, gorgeous vanilla reminiscent of raw sugar cookie dough with extra vanilla. Great lasting power too, stuck with me overnight and through a shower!
This is a true, beautiful vanilla with some depth and layers. I mostly get the warm vanilla beans and big crystal sugar, which is beautiful. It’s stunning!
