When it dries down… it starts to get sweeter, and you get hints of smokiness and woods buried underneath.

This is not a room-filler – it has above average projection… but you will get noticed. HUGE compliment getter. This has good projection… but it’s not one of those room-filler fragrances. However, it leaves a beautiful scent trail… and as it’s an EDP, this is mega long lasting – it hangs about for up to 12 plus hours.Carner have used a high-quality Madagascan Vanilla Absolute – which is super expensive, by the way. During testing, we got a mixed bag of results, ranging between 3–6 hours of lasting power. So please keep that in mind. But with that said…

However, it’s too sweet for the high summer heat – but maybe wearable on cool summer nights (if you spray lightly). Vanilla Fields by Coty was released in 1993 and is still in production as of 2022. Some might think this perfume is for mature women, but it can work for females (or males) of any age. At Coty, we do not test our products on animals and we are committed to ending animal testing across the beauty industry.” (See full statement here.) A hint of soft white musk joins the party – to balance the fragrance out (which stops it from becoming overly sweet). I’m legit obsessed with Le Monde Gourmande, an affordable line of fragrances that includes this light and sweet vanilla perfume. It’s definitely decadent— hello, vanilla, brown sugar, and apricot—but the amber and jasmine help tone it down a bit from being too rich and heavy. I actually wear this in big crowds a lot without worrying it’ll give someone a headache.For an eau de cologne, Vanilla Fields has good projection, and longevity is 6 – 8 hours on most people. Body chemistry and weather do affect a fragrance’s lifespan, and some people may find that this perfume doesn’t have all-day staying power.

For all ages, all occasions, days or nights. Perfect for a special occasion, dates, nights out, formal and is even work safe. Because this is an extract concentration with a very high oil percentage – this makes it super-long lasting. Ideally, you should “apply perfume on the warmest part of your body directly so that it keeps evaporating throughout the day,” says Julien. “Re-apply once if necessary.” El Born opens up with a blast of dark boozy-vanilla and honey – mixed with a hint of some bright citruses.What a wonderful and affordable little gem! It smells a heavenly, bright combination of jasmine and vanilla. I'd been looking for a perfume version of Sensuality (Jasmine-Vanilla) body mist from Bath & Body Works. This is VERY close to it, except that it is sweeter than the BBW version which is slightly bitter and more linear. It also has decent staying power and incredible sillage and projection. If I didn't know it cost so little, I would have thought it was an expensive brand name perfume. It depends on what you’re going for. Hands down, a spritz of perfume onto skin is the best way to get the most out of your fragrance. That’s because fragrance interacts with the heat and pH of your skin, which can help bring out different aspects of the scent. Pro tip: For the best possible effect, make sure you moisturize before spritzing on your fragrance. “Hydrated skin is a better carrier for perfumes,” says Julien. This is unisex and more suited for the mature 25-up crowd – for fall, winter and cool spring days… For just about any occasion – days or nights.

Coty was one of the first companies to attempt to market perfume, which had always been seen as a luxury product for the wealthy, to middle class and working class women, in smaller and plainer bottles. The strategy was a huge success, and Coty helped make perfume the international mass-market product it eventually became.

This is the EDP version – which has an intensified dark peppery vibe and lasts longer (But both versions are GREAT). This is more suited for the fall and winter (days or nights). And perfect for dates, romantic situations, special occasions, nights out… or just cozy evenings in at home 🙂 Subtle Alien Essence Absolue is newer version of the original Mugler Alien – which, incidentally, is in our best jasmine perfumes list. The only animalic ingredient in this eau de cologne is musk, which is undoubtedly synthetic. Vanilla Fields is an inexpensive perfume, and natural animal-derived musk is an expensive perfume ingredient. And Orchidée Vanille is part of their exclusive luxurious Collection Extraordinaire – that use high-quality raw ingredients.
