🌸 Notes & Scent Profile

Here’s how the fragrance is built, and what you’ll likely smell at each stage:

Layer Notes What You’re Likely to Smell / What It Adds
Top (Opening) Rum, Vanilla Orchid, Jasmine  A rich, boozy vanilla/candy feel right from the start. The vanilla orchid gives a floral sweetness; jasmine softens and adds a light creaminess/floral nuance. The rum gives a warm alcoholic edge, so it isn’t just pure sweet — there’s warmth, depth, a little luxury.
Heart / Middle Vanilla, Crème Brûlée, Spicy Notes, Tonka Bean, Leather, Rose  The heart doubles down on the gourmand dessert side — crème brûlée is very creamy/custard‑sweet, tonka bean adds warmth, spice notes give contrast to avoid being one‑note sweet. Leather and rose bring in richness and a bit of floral / texture dimension, so the sweetness is more layered.
Base (Dry‑down) Patchouli, Brown Sugar, Agarwood (Oud), Sugar, Amber, Musk  The base gives it weight and longevity. Patchouli and oud add woods, depth, and a slightly resinous/oriental touch, which help the sweetness from sugar and brown sugar not feel too “flat.” Amber and musk give warmth and a soft trail as it fades. The sugar (and brown sugar) keep it dessert‑y.

🔎 Character & Feel

Putting all that together, Vanilla Vibes gives off a vibe of:

  • Very sweet and indulgent, with a strong vanilla dessert theme.

  • Rich and creamy, especially in the middle phase (crème brĂ»lĂ©e etc.).

  • A blend of gourmand sweetness and warmth, with woods and spices to give some complexity.

  • More of a “statement sweet vanilla” rather than “subtle skin‑scent vanilla.”


👍 What People Like & 👎 What Might Not Suit Everyone

What people enjoy:

  • The dessert / sweet vanilla themes — great if you like gourmand scents, vanillas that feel rich and warm.

  • The boozy rum opening gives it a little edge so it isn’t too simplistic.

  • The woods / patchouli / oud give it more depth in dry‑down, so it doesn’t collapse into just sugar.

  • Good value for what it offers compared to high‑end vanilla fragrances. Many retailers list it reasonably. 

What might be less good / what to watch out for:

  • Could be too sweet or gourmand for those who prefer clean, fresh, or subtle scents. If sugary vanilla or dessert notes aren’t your thing, this might feel heavy.

  • In hot/humid weather, the sweetness + sugar + rum might feel cloying or stick‑around more than you want.

  • Projection might be strong at first, but gourmand vanillas often settle down to skin scent after a few hours — might need reapplication or spraying on clothes.

  • Some may find the “sugar / brown sugar” notes too candy‑like / less sophisticated depending on what you’re used to.


🎯 Best Occasions & Suitability

  • When to wear: Evenings (dinners, nights out), cooler weather (autumn, winter), or whenever you want something cozy, indulgent, and attention‑getting.

  • Not as ideal for: Very hot days, workplace settings where strong sweet scents are discouraged, or when you want a more subtle “clean” scent.

  • Style: Works well with richer fabrics (wool, leather, denim), evening dresses, or as a signature gourmand scent.
