I was first exposed to this in a dupe from Earthen Treasures (online etailer). It quickly became a favorite in a roll on oil form. I loved the benzoin-vanilla with an almost sugared lemon scent...

I have this in the newer bottle, so I cannot speak to the older one. This was a challenging fragrance for me. It took me a while to get into it. Now I'm in love. The fragrance features sandalwood,...

In my extensive collection of gourmand perfumes, in particular vanilla fragrances, Un Bois Vanille (UBV) is one I have sampled, owned, used up, repurchased years later, only to put it to the back...

I love Lutens' take on fragrant notes and since vanilla is one of my favorites I was excited to try it. It's a powdery take on vanilla, slightly burnt. Brings to mind a tasty creme brulee with a ...

Years ago I wore a lot of Serge Lutens (FBs of FT, MKK, Chergui, Bois et fruits, ISM, Fourreau Noire, Jeu de Peaux (a mistake), TC, Fille et Anguilles, and shiesedo Fem de Bois). I also had...

This seems to be a well-composed, grown-up vanilla, not too sweet, not too masculine, until you read some comments about Wunderbaum and scented candles. After that every time you use it your mind...

This is the perfect scent for those who crave vanilla but need for it to have a haunting, dark, and smoky overtone. Once it develops I smell Nag Champa incense burning with a fresh maple donut...

Let me preface my review by stating that I have dry skin on my body. It eats fragrance and then laughs at me. On the flip side of this, I can successfully wear the heavy hitters from the '80's,...

Blind purchase this one was. Not really impressed at first, but it definitely grew on me. It is a warm, comforting, and dare I say, yummy fragrance. It lasts all day on me. I find myself sniffing...

I'm a fan of Serge Lutens, so my review might be biais! What I love the most about this perfume is the opening, cedar, warm wood is the first top note, this is kind of rare because usually it is a...

Fluffy, wearable comfort fragrance on the thick, milky side without much woods or fruit on me. Coconut, a note I'm generally careful about, is very present here, but somehow it doesn't disturb me....

I've been on the hunt for a sweet vanilla that contains enough darkness to give it depth and character. I sampled several including L'AP Vanille Absolument, Guerlain SDV, and Liz Zorn's...

To me it's rather a simple gourmand, dessert-like vanilla fragrance, not dark, woody or spicy. I was expecting something more complex but I am a lover of gourmand perfumes in general and vanilla in...

I finally finished a large decant of this perfume this evening. I'm sure that I'm going to be shunned by the lovers of this perfume for this opinion, but I don't think this perfume is anything...

Un Bois Vanille is the scent that first got me interested in the Serge Lutens line. I've been intrigued by its treacly-rich coconut-caramel feel for years, and finally bought a bottle almost 10...

It's the most beautiful vanilla I've ever worn (and believe me, I've tried so many!) This one also elicits many compliments. This is the perfect balance of vanilla and woods. Not too sweet, very...

Seductive and lasting, starts off very deep and slightly bitter, with a sweet, but not cloyingly so, finish. Not a vanilla for a little girl, it has just enough smoke and wood to avoid becoming...
