I get the comparisons to TF FF I really do but this stuff is a much more straight forward gourmand fragrance, lacking the edge or interest that the Tom Ford had for me. Don’t get me wrong this is a sensual vanilla/tonka with lashings of almond milk in a sweet, luxurious mixture. It’s of great quality and lasts well, but not a fragrance of interest for me personally.
This house is so underrated and I don’t know if men has found their perfumes. They have many unisex ones like Bois Doré and even the rosy ones are so intriguing on men, especially Moonlight Rose. The scent is warm, very classy yet cozy. I love the mineral notes with Vanilla instead of brown sugary notes which sometimes ruins the beautiful Vanilla. There is a little bit salty feeling which makes this scent unique. Like almost all VC&As this is quite simple blend and that’s why they are so versatile, you can wear them wherever you want. The base is smooth and Cedar wood with Tonka and White musk create a soft and sensual touch to the blend. It wraps around you and it hugs you affectionately. The scent is lingering beautifully, not loudly, it’s an elegance in the bottle. VC&A’s style to make Vanilla is exceptional because it’s always classy, never a heavy gourmand which would be clearly edible. The longevity is surprisingly good and I can smell it on my skin next morning if I have sprayed it in the evening. This scent shares the same dna with Orchidée Vanille and Bois d'Iris - both of them are my favorites as well. Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.
