Pros & Cons
- ✅ straight, boozy, beautiful vanilla. almost like baking extract, and how the bottle develops sugar crystals around the rim over time. if that's your thing, you will surely be bewitched by this
- ✅ Warm spicy vanilla with a smoky undertone. It is very sugary and edible, bringing to mind gingerbread cookies and vanilla extract.
- ✅ I'm so over the vanilla/gourmand/milk trend. HATE. IT. But this I love.
- ✅ I am obsessed with this fragrance. Every winter I get a 50 ml bottle and I finish it right around fall. It's everything I want in a fragrance. Cozy, comforting brown sugar and lots of amber. My dad says that it smells like chocolate probably bc of the brown sugar. Such a compliment getter. Never gonna stop buying it.
- ✅ This is my third repurchase. ... nothinggg compares to Vanilla | 28, **thee ONE**, the one who started it ALL. the OG, the best, and the most wearable, luxurious, deep and true-to-vanilla fragrance available (unless you enjoy people holding their breath when you walk by, like with icky Bianco Latte and all of its Arabic dupes) outside of only Guerlain Vanille Planifolia & Spititeuse Double Vanille.
- ❌ nice complex brown sugar scent, but it totally lacks projection, longevity and all around potency. and it doesn't really remind me of vanilla. i can see why it has such mixed reviews.
- ❌ You know when you're a kid and you first discover vanilla extract and it smells so good you drink it. This smells like the taste. Blegh
- ❌ this perfume is so sweet i nearly gagged smelling it, if i smelt someone wearing this i'd probably think they're diabetic. horrible.

- ❌ I was looking for a sweet vanilla fragrance to soften the masculine note in one of my Boy Smells cologne. The second it hit my skin I got Estée Lauder Youth Dew vibes. Very heavy on me and extremely unpleasant. Not a safe blind buy.
- ❌ Stinky burnt rubber. Terrible blind buy.
- ❌ All I smell is medicinal: Carmex, Vick’s Vaporub, Marlboro Smooths. Vanilla where?
