Vanilla Sugarcane Perfume for Women, 1.7 Fl Oz - Clean and Natural Eau de Parfum Made In USA

This perfume is perfect for a younger lady/teen or as a layering perfume. I like to layer with Guerlain Iris Torrefie. The notes are mentioned online as sugarcane and mandarin top notes, vanilla flower mid, and bourbon vanilla base. I do agree with the sweetness of the sugarcane and the base of bourbon vanilla, but I have a hard time finding the orange at all (aside from a vague rindy green/bright element which is not easily named and could be sugarcane) and the typical caramel-y “I want to eat that” which I associate with vanilla is absent. The vanilla flower heart is more like a vanilla laundry detergent or vanilla baby powder, NOT an edible vanilla. This vanilla says “I’m a clean girl” not “I’m dessert”. Because of that, though it is very sweet for me it loses the appeal of a typical gourmand. The sugarcane *alcohol* of the medium itself is heady and strong at the outset (may be cloying to some while drying) and dry-down does take quite a bit of time before the initial booziness of the medium wears off (this medium being distinct from the bourbon vanilla base). I would say on my skin, it takes about an hour to fully dry down. The longevity of this scent is wonderful. Scents tend not to last on my skin and since they are toxic I am always sparing, but this one I feel comfortable applying liberally and I still catch it 36 hours later. Silage is there but not really that intense for the amount I spray, and silage is reduced a lot after initial 4-6 hours.

My granddaughter had this on her wish list and was delighted with it.

This one started out smelling good, but unfortunately for me, the dry down, is something I don’t love. I can’t put my finger on it, but compared to the straight Vanilla, this one is a bit off for me. So, unfortunately, this isn’t returnable. I will stick with the vanilla going forward as it’s been my favorite for years. I may gift it to someone if they like it.

I have been wearing this perfume for a few years. I get SO many compliments! My two teenage daughters keep stealing mine so I had to buy them each a bottle too. You won't be disappointed.

Oh my gawd! (Eyes roll to back of head) This perfume smells amazing! It's not overly strong, but subtle and yet still noticibly there. I bought vanilla sugarcane, and you definitely smell the sweetness of the sugar cane but it blends beautifully with the mandarin and vanilla flower. Once it starts to warm up in your skin you get these wifs of the warm vanilla. I usually use Pacifica, Island Vanilla, and I've literally been stopped and told I smell like cupcakes when I use it. This is different in a good way. It's more flowery and warm. More ooh la la! Then yummm. As for my sensitive skin, if I apply certain perfumes or scented products (soaps, lotions etc.) I either break out in hives. Or once the product touches my skin I get a slight burning to stinging sensation. This did neither of those. (thank god, cuz I forgot to spot test it.) Now I haven't checked to see how long this product lasts, but so far so good. It just has this warm smell and sensation. I absolutely love it!
