Vanille 12:00 is made beautifully. I f you are checking all those delicious notes you could think that the scent is thick, sticky sweet and maybe cloying. Instead of that it's sophisticated and classy. It's utterly harmonious cocktail of gourmand notes which are never suffocating nor disturbing. It's somewhat transparent and bright but potent enough to project in a way that people around you notice the scent but it's not screaming and fill all the room. The concoction is well blended and I don't detect all the notes separately. Some which I detect are Pear, Vanilla, Cream and Caramel. There are so many notes in this scent which could be terribly synthetic but they are not. They are attractive, seductive, naturally sweet, and delicious instead. it is the mix of fruity and many general gourmand notes. This whole gourmand category is not my style at all. It just got my interest lately and I have been trying to find gourmands which are elegant enough instead of girly juvenile style. This is a great choice even if it's one of the sweetest ones and I'm sure it will have a wide audience thanks to its versatile and crowd pleasing aroma. For me it takes a little bit time to get used to this kind of sweetness since I don't have so many of them. My sweetest perfume is Love Don't Be Shy and it's totally different kind of style than Vanille 12:00. This review is based on a sample.
