The Scoop

Vanilla scents tend to have a cloying, candied effect. But not Geisha Vanilla Hinoki. Its key ingredient is a woodsy, smoky vanilla found only in Morocco—and very hard to come by. Five years in the making, perfumer Maria McElroy blended this delicacy with unexpected partner: Hinoki, a storied cypress. For centuries, this prized Japanese wood was used to build palaces, temples, shrines-- and those lingering hot spring pools known as onsen, found in mountainside inns. Maria’s intention with this new scent was to capture the cloudy, floating, sybaritic sensation of lingering in one of these scented hot springs. Geisha Vanilla Hinoki, a nighttime—or should we say bedtime--potion is a truly unique approach to the world’s most popular gourmand. Hypnotic, spiritual, and simply gorgeous.

Here's what other people are saying about Geisha Vanilla Hinoki- Eau de Parfum...

Vanilla in its smokiest aspect, with gorgeous cypress framing. The bergamot adds an initial sparkle, like slipping into a bath hot enough to get your attention, and is gone; after that the composition -- remarkably linear, as another reviewer noted -- is meditative without being the least bit sleepy despite lavender and patchouli on standby with the olfactory equivalent of clean, plush towels and robes. I see what the description above means about this being a nighttime sort of fragrance, but I’d absolutely wear this into the office if what I wished to convey was a calm authority that will not be rushed in its deliberations.

Definitely a vanilla for the vanilla skeptics, not sugary or cookie-like in the least. I wasn't sure if I'd like it initially, as the opening is quite strong and leans heavily into the hinoki/bergamot/lavender accords, a bit bracing for me though the vanilla is still present. The drydown was my favorite part--quiet vanilla tempered with a hint of patchouli and cedar, absolutely gorgeous.

This one is for people with a love/hate relationship with vanilla. The hinoki wood gives it a whole different slant, so it's not overly sweet or sticky. It's a nice balance of not-too-sweet and brisk wood. Definitely full-bottle worthy. The only reason for the four stars is that it's a bit linear for me. It goes on and stays on and doesn't morph much.
