If you look at notes you dislike and think about why, you may find yourself like myself noticing that there are just some notes that don't sit with you well; they give you a headache, or make you nauseous, and there are what I call the acquired dislikes, notes that have somehow bad associations, for whatever reason. However, when her mom bought her the Vanilla Lace for Christmas, she thought it smelled divine, like a slice of vanilla pudding cake! How Long Does Victoria’s Secret Vanilla Lace Last For?

The St. Barth's that's mentioned is delicious, just know it's a full-on foody vanilla, nothing subtle about, but I may actually prefer it to Tihota, though I don't wear either often, they're too cupcakey for me. Its rich, sensual blend of aloe vera, vanilla, and orchid, with hints of chamomile and musk, gives you a light, fresh yet sensual smell.

Perfumes that Smell Like Victoria’s Secret Vanilla Lace I think vanilla is the most appealing note in perfumery; probably the world's number one flavor and I'm no exception. I love vanilla! All through my journey in the world of perfume I have worshipped almost every shade of vanilla; oriental, gourmand, powdery or spicy, there always happened to be some extra space on my shelf. It was hard and confusing to choose only one for this article! And the other one is a star of mine which retains advantages as follows: firstly, it is an old school velvet chypre, secondly, it is a sweet orris garmented chypre which is cosy and elegant, and thirdly it is so close to the Guerlainische tradition and so well performed to resemble such masterpieces as Liu or Vega, original version of Shalimar and other oldies, that I cannot escape the crave to grab a gallon of Chypree Vanille for having a shade of just a couple of drops of Guerlain's forever diamonds for the same price (well, regional pricing peculiarities matter here, I would say)...And vanilla here is one of the most beloved nuances of the composition.

Bare Vanilla by Victoria’s Secret For those, I'd like to put forward another Guerlain creation, one that actually manages to use Guerlain's famous vanilla accord, but in a smaller dose: Shalimar Perfume Initial. It's powdery and woody with a slight whiff of vanilla; a composition in which you can really enjoy the entire development, even if you are not a vanilla lover. The vanilla note turns out delicious without being sweet, and over time it becomes a complementary note under a dusty cloud of powdery iris. I believe this is the least sweet edition of Shalimar’s family; easier to wear with still a significant sillage. Shalimar Parfum Intial is one of those fragrances where patchouli is in love with vanilla; both notes develop softly and in harmony without deviating into plastic earthiness. Parfume Intial is a 4th generation Shalimar, approaching L'Heure Bleue in the most elegant gesture Thierry Wasser could imagine! It gets muskier, woodier and cosmetically sweet with time, after which it turns to quiet and innocent with a subtle and faint trail of vanilla that you will enjoy even if you don't tend to love vanilla.

Gather Perfumes Shakti another all natural. Shakti is one of my favorite perfumes. Beautiful ylang, surrounded by her secret sourced vanilla (it is unlike any other vanilla I have smelled, her vanilla wherever she gets it is amazing) spices, blood orange, and cedar moss. Smoky yet still light. I wear this year-round, even in hot weather. She also made a floral called Ambrosia that has vanilla, jasmine, ylang, blood orange and it is just stunning. I wear it when I have migraines, it is that soothing. It was limited edition and is gone now but I am hoping she will make more come Valentine's Day. Today, everyone knows the scent and taste of vanilla, but mainly the synthetic variant, as the real vanilla extract is very expensive and its production hardly profitable for producers. The scent of vanilla consists of several components, of which the main ones are vanillin and piperonal (heliotropine). And for the budget friendly.... Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Rubies. This has a lot of vanilla in the base, and I smell a lot of it when I wear it. Almond, heliotrope, peach, and red rose create a swirling effect and a beautiful haze of scent. This is a great perfume, don't let the price fool you. I've always love vanilla fragrances.. before the gourmand explosion was on trend I remember always get complimented for my sweet/foody/slightly androginous scents.. my favourites were and are..
