If it’s reminding them of mom and childhood and baking, and this is what they find sexually arousing – um, Dude, Oedipus much? If that just means you get the warm fuzzies and get all relaxed and cuddly, then okay, no judgment here. They always say vanilla is the scent to wear that men view as sexay. I’ve been guilty of opening them and scraping them just to get my vanilla fix. I keep vanilla pods around for baking, opening them carefully and scraping out the vanilla beans for ice cream or some other tasty baking treat, but I don’t really care about that all natural crap, I just want the smell.
EXPENSIVE VANILLA PERFUME CRACK
I’ve never been able to pass by a bottle of vanilla without huffing on it like it was a crack pipe. I swear, my eyes rolled back in my head and I sighed. Is it because it’s a scent we remember from childhood and our moms baking? I used to think that, but I remember when I first baked with my mom’s help, I got on my little stool and pulled out the Watkins vanilla from the cabinet, and I opened it and had to put down my measuring spoons. If Jasmine is narcotic, vanilla is the scent of love, warmth and caring. What is magical about vanilla is its power to comfort. I can do it because I’m familar with most of these and just needed a teeny drop as a refresher. Listen, the nausea did pass after a couple of hours and some fresh air, but I will never recommend anyone roll through 40 or more vanilla perfumes in three days. You may love it, but as I can attest after putting on about 40 vanilla perfumes over the past few days, in between multiple showers, not everyone does, and too much can literally make people ill. If you saw the title of this post and thought – Woo-hoo, vanilla! Now she’s finally getting around to the good stuff!! – hey, maybe it’s time to try something besides vanilla, ya think? Vanilla can skew incredibly young, and it can be overpowering and intense, cloying to the point of people clawing for air. There is a comfort in vanilla perfumes that few other things can provide, and in some rotation, they are completely perfect, especially as the fall creeps up on us, with mornings retaining more and more chill. Evil thing.īut I love a challenge, and sanity has never been my strong suit, so let’s just dig in! Life is a strange journey, yes? Ah, but March went on the same one, with some different stops and I think a different conclusion (see far, far below), but that darn Guerlain Spiritueuse is at the center of both. I hit the brakes hard on my vanilla hate then, backed up, ran over a couple more vanilla perfumes I thought I hated, and then started picking up those abandoned vanillas sitting by the side of the road and sniffing at them in earnest. I started out pretty much hating – or thinking I hated – vanilla perfume and only came around to them after the appearance of Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Le Labo Vanille 44.
At first I was thinking, oh, yeah, a few, Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille, a Montale or two, L’Artisan, Guerlain, Micaleff and… and… and… then it occurred to me how many vanilla perfumes there are and that I must be even more insane to tackle this than I was the rose perfume post. I’m a lot overwhelmed when I think of vanilla perfumes. I eliminated some perfumes I know I’ll get told I should have put in, but, you know, those will have to be in the Oriental perfume review probably taking place in 2014’ish. Rules again for how I picked my comprehensive guide to the best vanilla perfumes, the worst vanilla perfumes, and the in-between vanilla perfumes – must be vanilla centric, more vanilla gourmand, not vanilla oriental, though I’ve got some overlap. (I’d rather you not, but I’m okay if you feel you have to.) You can sass me back if you disagree up to and including calling me a… Vanilla Cretin. I know this one is going to leave a couple of marks, but I’ve girded myself, and I’m just going to plunge right in. The loyalty perfumistas that love vanilla have to their favorite is frightening. What is the best Vanilla Perfume? It strikes fear into my black – anything but vanilla – little heart just thinking about doing all the sniffing research necessary to classify these into best vanilla, most gourmand vanilla, kinda sucky vanilla.
