Vahina, from Sylvaine Delacourte was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is Randa Hammami and Sylvaine Delacourte. The notes are Mandarin Orange, Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, Tonka Bean, Vanilla.
I'm starting with my favourite of this collection so the reviews are only going to get worse folks. I've got to say that this Vanille collection are pretty terrible on the whole, something I was very surprised by considering some of the similarities with Guerlain's L'art Matiere line, glimpses of which are found in the musc and orange blossom lines...but oddly not the one where you'd expect to find it, The vanilla collection. Vahina (careful to avoid a typo the 'G' conspicuously close to the 'H' as it is) literally smells like Dramduie or a particularly heavy handed bartenders, Screwdriver in the opening a mixture of orange and breath of booze. There's a neroli/herbal green, petitgrain note freshening things up but generally when it settles has that effervescing, swizzles sweets vibe from Ozkan in the orange blossom collection. This one probably is the best from the Vanille ones, the vanilla being ever present and freshened up by synthetic, throwaway top but it's more fun than the rest, and mildly bearable to wear.
