As advertised: the Silver base with a melange of vanillas, some buttery, some floral, some airy. If you love the silver base and Fabienne's vanillas, this will be an easy love. I do enjoy those things, but 2014 seems to be the year of my changing tastes in perfume, and while it's nice testing this one, it's too similar to other vanillas in the GC to really move me. And ultimately, it's just too sweet for me and my oddly changing nose.
That said, it's a nice addition to the Silver line.

Re: Silver Vanilla
This is a beautiful vanilla. I want to bathe in it. This and queen of Sheba are really beautiful vanillas. No plastic,burnt butter,caramel sickly smell. Devine.
Re: Silver Vanilla
I finally made a forum account and here is my very first review!
This wafts the best, most true non-foody vanilla. Up close I get ye olde scented candle smell which I'm not a fan of that has that almost bitter bite. I like this one but it's not bottle-worthy for me.

Welcome, and I'm so glad you gave a review.
The perfumes that have a great waft but are strange on the skin often fascinate me. On one hand, I tell myself that most people aren't sniffing my skin--they are getting what's around me, but on the other *I* often huff my skin and I want to like what's on there LOL. It's a balance I don't think I've managed completely yet.
If you can't be a success, be a spectacular failure!
Re: Silver Vanilla
Thank you!
It can be maddening. I like huffing my wrists and if someone else wants to huff me it must smell good!
