Vanille de Tahiti

This is 100% my favorite vanilla. It's not cloying or candy, sweet or play doh. It's just perfect. I do like animalistic notes in my perfume, but honestly, I don't think it's a big element in this one. But I'm assuming that's what some people smell as 'poopy' . To me, it smells very much like a real vanilla pod - they also have floral notes because the vanilla bean is the stamen to a specific orchid - and fruity - in a vanilla way. Not a sweet way. If you love vanilla, you have to try it. The only drawback is the price - I really don't want to spend $200 or more. And it's not discounted or duped or anything. It's a great vanilla, though, so I might just bite the bullet and buy it. Very underrated fragrance, IMO

I have tried their musk and was not impressed, then i sold my bottle of their patchouli. But I am keeping their vanilla. It's the dirtiest vanilla I have ever tried! I absolutely adore the champaca note! I can hear the sandalwood and the sweet ylang-ylang very well as well. It's such a unique combo! I have never tried anything like that! I am so in love and will keep it permanently.

Vanille de Tahiti was a love at first sniff for me. It's not a gourmand vanilla, it's not sweet, it's actually dry, very unique, warm, and slightly woody thanks to the sandalwood, while the champaca makes it creamy. Vanille de Tahiti lasts a long time on my skin (8h at least), although it doesn't project much, it stays "attached" to my skin making a linear scent bubble. A great different vanilla. A big "love" for me.

Definitely Vanilla Poop, sorry.

The reviews are 100% accurate, the opening is V-I-L-E. It smells like poop. You'll feel an unprecedented level of embarassment and regret after spraying this on your skin in-store (I did). BUT! Give it a chance and be patient! It should last for 10-15 minutes in the worst case scenario. After this, it turns into a very natural, delicate and unique smelling vanilla. It smells really discreet and uncomplicated but longevity is really good (once you've reached the good smelling phase, thank goodness) and it is very different from the other vanilla-focused / minimalistic vanilla fragrances I've smelled so far. I feel like no description of mine could do it justice, but it just feels like your skin naturally smells like vanilla, really. It doesn't blatantly smell like perfume, nor does it smell like you're a walking cake fresh out of the oven. It smells like for some reason, you've been handling raw vanilla beans all day and nonchalantly touched your skin afterwards. It's so beautiful. I would definitely advise you to try this perfume on skin and not trust what you smell on paper! All perfumes play with your skin's PH and temperature but I find that Vanille de Tahiti is one of those perfumes that is even more sensitive and dependant on these aspects. Paper nor clothes won't reflect what you'll get on your own body. You might be better off ordering a sample and trying it in the comfort of your home. Start with ONE spray and WAIT. The fecal notes shouldn't linger for too long, but they will definitely scar you if you rush into this unprepared lol. Also, other people smelling you and commenting while in this wild stage will certainly deter you from trying it again or even waiting for the dry down. Wait before you can only smell the vanilla yourself before asking people's opinion about it.
