This is a kind of thin dry scratchy amber, which wasn't at all what I was expecting from the notes: Rich amber, bergamot, clove, vanilla and cardamom. It just doesn't agree with me at all, though...

L'Orientaliste Vanilla is Hypnotic Poison without the poison. It's composed of the same kind of vanilla in HP. For anyone who wants to be able to wear HP but gets a headache from it (or who, like...

Bit of a twist from your common, candy-sweet vanillas, but not much. L'Orientaliste's Vanille has a touch of spice, just enough to keep it from plunging into Pink Sugar territory. It's like a...

I LIKE THIS SPICY VANILLA, HOWEVER AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED WITH THIS FRAGRANCE IT SADLY DOES NOT LAST THE HOUR.

I wanted to love this, the inital notes of spice and amber are definitely very powerful and intriguing. However within minutes, the patchoulli/incense roared to the forfront to overpower the amber...

Light cotton-candy-like vanilla fragrance with just the right amount of spice and a hint of woods and musk in the drydown. It's not a rich, creamy vanilla, and I actually find it more wearable than...

Sweet, clean floral white musk scent with a touch of powder. It is more potent than most musks I've tried, but it does not have the sharp edges of many cheap drugstore musks. The drydown is...

Rich, warm patchouli with an amber note to tone down the bitterness. It also reminds me of Nereides' Patchouli Antique, and a bit of Mazzolari's Patchouli fragrance (only that this one is a bit...

Very good sandalwood fragrance, smokey and warm. It wears very well on my skin - it does not turn and after a few hours, what's left is a soft, cozy skin scent. Terrific choice for sandalwood...

I really, really like this scent. However, within a few hours, it's gone. I love vanilla fragrances, and this one would be a winner if it actually lasted.

This is a nice, straightforward vanilla. Not too foody, not too sweet. My only complaint is that it could use a bit more staying power. It's pretty light, and fades rather quickly.

I like this one, very clean crisp musk wich has a tiny hint of an incense smell to it, nicely done! of course the lasting power was poor. a must try for musk lovers

IMO this smells just like LV Teint de Neige w/a hint of amber, over all very powdery and musky, I like it but wont be buying it because I could dab on some Amber oil and layer with TdN and get the...

Straight up Patchouli that reminded me allot of Lothantyque's Patchouli. nice and light, but I preffer L'Artisan Patchouli patch.

L'Orientaliste's Vanilla is a light, dry, slightly powdery cake batter vanilla with a touch of musk. Has a slight hairspray twang to it in the opening, which, thankfully, fades away in short time....

This is one of my favorites of the L'Orientaliste line. It's a very pure, quite realistic, linear solifore. It's not the heady, animalistic jasmine of SL's A La Nuit, nor is it the green jasmine...
