Britney Spears Fantasy was reformulated! I wore it through middle school and early high school (2006-2009) and it was so gourmand and richly sweet. I recently sniffed a new bottle and was shocked and how it smelled like fruity shampoo - something has changed!

[@perfumerism]

Interesting!!! That’s good to know since I find it SO fruity! I want to try the original now

Yes! I loved this one years and years ago, but now it’s a no!

Yes if your bottle doesn't have actual rhinestones around the top, it's been reformulated!

I still have my original Brit perfume, it was the teal squat bottle. Reminded me of a Genie's bottle. I still have juice left too. It is a core memory frag from my teen years for sure!

[@helgacucumber3871]

I tried Induit Tihota because of you and thanks a lot, now I'm obsessed and I have to find the money for it. I get this sharp vanilla vodka note in a lot of vanilla fragrances, even after the drydown. It's not an alcohol smell but it's similar. It drives me nuts and I notice it in most vanilla fragrances these days. I've been a vanilla girlie for a long time so I don't know what has changed but Tihota is an exception! I appreciate the recommendation even if my wallet does not.

[@perfumerism]

YESSS it’s so good but SOOO pricey!!

[@fhoeflich]

If it's that exceptional and that expensive a vanilla, some house out there might be duping it by now. Does anyone here know? I won't be able to help explain the alcohol-ish smell until I can get my own nose onto it. I'm still an apprentice perfumer but it might just be a commonly-used accompanying note, not necessarily the vanilla itself, and I might be able to tag it.

[@BLARG09]

Try outremer vanille. It's super cheap and smells almost identical. You can spray as much as you want at that price.

[@BLARG09]

Apricot vanille by sud Pacifique also dries down to that, but starts with a yummy apricot. I wish the apricot lasted longer than a minute. That was the first one I noticed smelled similar.

[@BLARG09]

They sell outremer vanille at smallflower.

[@thejinxlynx]

This is such an awesome way to categorize perfume. If you have the time, please do more of these types of reviews. for some reason the visual ranking is more helpful on deciding what I’d like to try.

when she was talking about Dulce by Rosie Jane saying it was like a shell, she's not wrong, but don't be discouraged from buying!.

[@kaisla7423]

Finally, after years of being afraid of vanilla perfumes, i bought my first one thanks to you🎉 (black sugar by korres) I always had this kinda bad association with vanilla and cigarette smell, a lot of people use like cheap vanilla to cover up the stench of tobacco and it just always stuck out But hearing you talk about vanilla in a more positive light made me want to give it a chance❤

[@MrsHoneydukes]

Love your channel and yessss a vanilla video ♥️ This is by far my favourite note as a concept, but I’ve realized I am extremely picky when it comes to actually liking the perfumes. I want them to be sweet but not nauseating, and I don’t like when there’s too much of something else going on. I recently fell head over heels in love with Tihota, which to me is by faaaaar the best vanilla out there, but the price is so stiff ! Every time I see that dent get bigger I die a little inside haha. In a very similar vibe (though a little cleaner with mimosa), I think you would really like Jovoy’s Fire at Will, but you may have already tested it ! And I’m so sad because I was completely sold on it, but Bianco Latte does not work at all on my skin, for some reason it smells really dusty 😢 I sprayed it on my wrist again just to be sure but nope, I like it but it doesn’t like me back 😂 For a very straightforward, a bit synthetic but really decent vanilla I would also recommend Vanille by Molinard. I spray this before bed and it really soothes me 😊

[@perfumerism]

I have not tried Fire At Will but you make me want to!! Jovoy has some amazing scents; I personally love Remember Me! And agreed that vanilla is a particular scent!

[@fhoeflich]

@@perfumerism Try Jovoy Musc Pallas when you get around to making your next musks video. I heard rabid hype but haven't got hold of a bottle myself yet. I don't know about Fire At Will yet, will try to sample it at least.

Also Unmuted by Noyz is one of my new faves ✨✨

[@fever_1033.0]

I completely agree with you on your take on Silk Santal. It’s a nice scent, but nothing special, and I genuinely feel influencers that hype it as much as they do either got in PR and/or want to stay in the good graces of Kayali. Also, you should try Victorian Vanilla by Costal Carolina. An underrated vanilla gem. 😊

[@perfumerism]

Maybe! I received the Wedding fragrance in PR too:) However I just think people have different taste. It is really nice, however I just don’t see the need to promote something that is unavailable!

I’ll look into Coastal Carolina, thank you!!

[@irmaktemel7171]

You should try the EDP version of Hypnotic poison if haven't tried it yet. It has a lot of different notes to it so I wonder what you'll think of it now. For me, I LOVE IT! I found it in my mom's collection and she told me she never uses it (she isn't into gourmands, she mostly wears fresh citrusy florals or men's perfume) and I grabbed it from her hand like my life depended on it because I just can't stop smelling it. It smells so good! It's femine, intoxicating, a little sweet but powdery and spicy. Not to mention the projection and longevity is just insane. Nobody actually told me this but I swear I had a cloud of perfume surrounding me by the numbers of heads I have turned in public. At the end of the day I sprayed once on my wrists yesterday and after +24h I still get the vanilla and powdery white floral notes from it when I put my face next to my wrist (I hadn't even put a body lotion on before spraying so that's still very impressive imo) Please, you need to try it! Note: most people got a lot of licorice from it but I have never actually smelled licorice before (we are not a big fan of it over here in my country) so I only assume it's the soft spicy scent I got for the first 30min-1h or so. Thought I'd mention it

The vanilla orchid vs poets of Berlin thing is interesting to me. I sprayed one on each wrist and vanilla orchid definitely reads more fruity to me on opening and poets seems to dry down warmer and sweeter, making me prefer poets. Now I am wondering if I imagined that 😂

Was scrolling to see if anyone had throughts on these specifically. I agree in that I also prefer Poets between the two and don't find them similar, though I need to run and try a side by side test.

@@rachellynnbeauty5231 Glad it isn't just me! They definitely smell similar to me but somehow different too. It would be interesting to know the actual perfumers thoughts around the two.
