| Absolute perfect orange vanilla that dries down to a musty musk. Too much musk. Yuck |

| First impression was an old fashioned Victorian sort of scent- complete with dust. Nice overlay of vanilla, darker things almost overpowering it. Matures on the skin well, gets better smelling as I sit here.
For my skin, and personal taste, it's too dry smelling, but I wouldn't mind smelling this on someone else. It's got a nice depth to it. |

| Very soft and sensual vanilla! Perfect for a romantic first date :) Just remember to carry the bottle with you and spray frequently as it flies away quickly... |

| omg, I love Perfect Vanilla, I use the oil first and it lends a little more sweetness and less tobacco...but I love the tobacco drydown, I don't feel like I smell like a cookie!
I have had MANY complements on this fragrance, always from men! |

| The person who said Play-Doh nailed it. Smoked vanilla Play-Doh and sugar cookies. Yech. |

| Ugh...I adore vanilla scents. This one is vanilla milk PlayDoh in the opening. The darker vanilla that comes up during the drydown just cant mask the cloying milky soapiness. Oh well... |

| This is quite unsusual. After the orange notes dried down and I smelled this wonderful vanilla I actually had goosebumps on my arms! It is very comforting and relaxing.
Certainly not sweet, but maybe a bit too smoky for me? But sometimes you have to get used to a scent. |

| Perfect Vanilla is perfect. It's just not perfect vanilla. It's a perfect mix of blood orange and tobacco. In the moments right after application, PV was a very bright, lemony citrus, total blood orange, with nothing else involved. As the middle of the fragrance came out, it became blood orange tinged with tobacco. I had no idea that tobacco was so lovely! It's a wonderfully adult scent, definitely not for people who wear the sugary vanillas. The tobacco gives the fragrance a more mature quality, and I can imagine someone wearing PV to a ball or a philanthropic function. The last notes of the fragrance are all tobacco on me. It's a beautifully smoky tobacco that lasts. PV lasted overnight on me, so the staying power is great. I would consider buying PV again, but NOT if I was looking for a vanilla scent. PV must be appreciated for its other notes, because the vanilla just never shows up. |

| I don't smell the blood orange and tobacco at all! This is just a really nice vanilla scent on me - pure and powdery without smelling like cookies, as others have said. However, on me this is incredibly light, with no staying power whatsoever. I liked Exact Friction of Stars better, and it was a bit stronger, for a nice pure vanilla scent. |

| i think we have a winner! i've tried about 15 samples from luckyscent and this is my only 5 star rating. (thanks for offering samples luckyscent - it's fun to try so many different high end perfumes!) i've wanted a scent i can wear everyday that is simple and light. yes, the gorgeous citrus notes disappear quickly, but what's left behind is delicious. a subtle, grown up vanilla scent. to me, this is not a strong vanilla foody scent. it is light, airy, a bit powdery but not too much. i can't stop smelling myself. nice staying power. it reminds me of Perfect Veil, but a bit less sweet and with a bit more depth. today i will douse myself with the rest of the vial to see if it passes my headache test. if so, i think i'm finally ready to shell out the big bucks for this one! |

| If you really love Vanilla this will become your favorite. I ordered the oil roll-on and cream from lucky scent. I layer them and this lasts all day. I receive many compliments during the day. |

| Here's what I picture when I smell this: baby powder scented deodorant (the cheap kind), one of Grandma's old sweaters, and blood orange, with just a little of Grandpa's pipe smoke lingering in the air. I've smelled worse when I stand near an old lady (this one isn't too perfumey), so it's okay for seniors, but this one shouldn't be worn by anyone without grandchildren. |

| At first I didn't care much for it. It seems unoriginal at first whiff. When I tried it the second time I forgot I had put it on until I wondered what smelled so good! It grew on me quickly after that. |

| Love at first whiff with this fragrance! I agree with the previous poster, Neil, that this is one of the most luscious vanillas I've ever smelled. I love how the blood orange gives it a creamy citrus smell, then the gradual mellowing and drydown to a warm tobacco. I already own so many vanillas and yet I have to have this one... it's that good. |

| I don't know why, but I like this scent. It is a very unusual vanilla, not at all food-y. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but it is very sexy. My boyfriend loved it when I wore it dancing with him, which is good because it is incredibly long lasting |

| I liked this one a lot. It reminded me of an orange creamsicle - very sweet and creamy. |

| While I don't wish to start a debate, with all due respect, I disagree with Dunkiedoodle. When creating a scent, especially one that is highlighting a single note, all the other notes involved must take a back seat to the main player. The Master of Ceremonies (in this case Blood Orange) arrives on stage to introduce the show, after which it is time to exit stage left. The main event (in this case several lovely shades of Vanilla) enters with a bow to the Blood Orange (Nice introduction! Bye-Bye! I'll take it from here!) It's a wonderful performance set against a unique backdrop (Tobacco Note.)
I stand by my original assessment. 5 stars!! |

| I must disagree with Neil. While it is true that topnotes do fade or perhaps take a backseat, I don't think they are meant to evaporate completely, which is what they do here. The blood orange does not just fade, it disappears within the first 2 seconds! Potential buyers of this fragrance should be warned that this dries down to vanilla and tobacco with NO citrus! I personally do not mind as I love smokey tobacco notes. However, if one is looking for a good smokey vanilla, L'Artisan's Vanilia cannot be outdone in my opinion. Not even by this. |

| I must say that this is the most luscious Vanilla I have ever smelled! I totally disagree with Alexandra. Yes, citrus Top Notes do tend to evaporate quickly...that's why they're called Top Notes! Perhaps it just doesn't mix well with her body chemistry but it certainly does with mine! Oh, yes, men can wear this scent too!
This is a very well balanced and sophisticated Vanilla scent.Safe, warm, and seductive all at the same time. It stands alone. If you love Vanilla, this one's for you! |

| for the first 15 minutes this scent made me feel i had found "the one" for me: a creamy, citrus vanilla that was simultaneously fresh and voluptuous--and although it is not a listed ingredient, i detected neroli as well as the stated blood orange. oh was i in heaven! I just don't understand how it was so delicious and then so, SO unpleasant. but then again, i suppose i'm a vanilla snob |
