New bedtime scent option in the mix

I completely forgot about this one tucked away in my fb drawer until I saw a reddit question about low priced perfumes that smell expensive... Well, this very much falls into that category!

Think it was about £39, and a blind buy (fortunately a more successful one!) - and apart from anything, the bottle is really lovely and feels very weighty and luxurious.

Then for the scent, it's a vanilla but not a sweet one - it's more a dry vanilla with a light powdery, cocoa quality from praline and tonka. It's cosy and creamy but light. I don't personally detect the pineapple/fig top notes, and this is not a loud projector but I like that as I am not someone that often wants to wear big projectors, and it makes it perfect for a bedtime scent!

(When my mum came to stay earlier in the year and asked for a perfume to wear, she ended up choosing this - I gave her a travel atomiser of it, and she liked it so much I bought her her own bottle for her birthday, along with the cherry Cherie flanker. 🫶)

    I really enjoy this. I do get noticeable pineapple for around the first hour, then a creamy fig scent through the drydown. Really lovely. Good for those who like a creamy fig that's not too sweet (E-mochi or Fichi e Panna) or spicy (Gris Charnel, Lover, etc)

      Oh yay, glad to have another fan to collude with! I need to find a way to unlock the pineapple and fig, sounds dreamy!

      I layer it with a pineapple perfume oil I got off Amazon to up the tart fruity pineapple, or a pineapple fluff perfume oil from Land of Aahs to up the creamy vanilla pineapple depending on my mood.
