Vanille Exquise is a sublime well rounded non-sweet vanilla. It reminds me of vintage Guerlain Shalimar minus the leather note plus a bittersweet hint of almond. It starts off with a blast of...

I have to agree with the reviewer who called this "plasticky." This started out nicely on me -- a light, sophisticated vanilla -- but dried down to what I can only describe as Cabbage Patch Doll...

A sugarfree vanilla, at last! My love for vanilla started with CSP Vanille Apricot, which I bought about 6 years ago. After that, vanilla started appearing everywhere and expecially hit the cheap...

I love this! it took a bit to get used to it, but now its one of my go to 'mood vanilla's'. I love foody vanillas, but love spiced grown up versions more. My all time fav is TOM FORDS vanille...

This is my HG scent. It's a delicate and subtle vanilla which doesn't go all cake-like on me. It's got a hint of almond and angelica which gives it a little body without it going for the full...

On me this smells plasticy, like saran wrap fake artificial vanilla. The gaiac wood can't be natural, because I've smelled the real thing and this IS "stabby" as another reviewer described, like...

teh vanilla here is the same as in 'petit cherry' by Goutal, although here it is with darker, warmer notes, very cosy soft, blankety and comforting.

A beautiful vanilla, but on me it's absolutely fleeting. I can't smell it more than half an hour. what a pity! I only get the smell of a delicate vanilla - it's a very clean smell - I'd love to...

I agree w/tessture on this & unfortunately I am one whose chemistry brings out the gaiac wood, making it smell a bit medicinal. However, I am really liking this regardless. There's something very...

The people who rate this high are getting a nice sophisticated vanilla that lacks sweetness or foodyness. The people who rate this low seem to be getting the same thing I do, which is a gaiac wood...

I quite like this. Not at first mind you like others have said. It's like spraying sweet smelling hairspray but 2 hours in - it smells heavenly on me! I must be in the rare here but it does last...

Gorgeous sweet vanilla and not too much less. This is a beautiful soft rendition of vanilla but it is not very tenacious. I was told that it exists as EDT only which doesn't help. Vanilla lovers...

I swapped for this while going through my vanilla phase, and while I'm no longer into vanilla, particularly foody vanilla, this is a more sophisticated vanilla that is not really foody - one of the...

I'm not a big vanilla fan and so far the only two vanilla-based fragrances I've owned are CSP Vanille Abricot and L by Lolita Lempicka. I was given a small decant of this in a swap and I was happy...

The reviews of Vanille Exquise that describe it as having bourbon or rum-like notes or creme-brule-ish are all very accurate. Vanilla Exquise can be easily summarized as a tot of vanilla-flavored...

In my own defense, I will say that a rank naivete about what a vanilla could be caused me to reject Vanille Exquise when it was first released. It smelled thin and then committed the venal...
