Hype vs Reality

This is a smooth natural vanilla, slightly sweet, woody, earthy, and creamy. I see people mentioning spice but its not coming thru on skin today. I only used 2 spritzes as its summer. l want to see what the fuss is about.

This is very similar to Nishane Ani less the citrus. The vanilla doesnt smell cheap and become a cloying monster assaulting your olfactives. This feels refined and well put together. Im 5 hours in and inside my home and its still performing. I can clearly smell it like a bubble around me. I see this as an evening, date night, casual dinner scent but in the right mood could easily be a casual wear in the cooler months. It doesnt have to bone chilling either to pull this off. Id say low 70s and less would be ideal for a wear.
