I love vanilla but this wasn’t love at first sniff, it smelled very..cashmereee if that’s a thing (I hate that scent profile) as the days have gone by it’s gotten softer and more sugary (my kinda scent) I don’t really like it alone but I have loved layering it with spring florals to soften them up and make them more Fall appropriate. One thing I am learning on the Arabian perfumes is that you have to let them sit for a few days cause they don’t quite smell good when they arrive ..or maybe you have a higher expectation and they don’t deliver? I dunno but I am not disappointed with my purchases just learned I have to be patient with these scents.
