The Scoop

Rapa Nui for sugar, Tihota is, quite simply, The One. The One that will call to you every moment you're not smelling it, The One that you've only had hints of in other vanilla perfumes, The One that lasts and lasts, The One that has perfectly captured the essence of the pure nature of fresh vanilla beans and has harnessed it beyond your wildest dreams. It inspires obsessive devotion with its fragrance of smooth, vanilla bean pods dipped in honeyed water and left to steep. The result is the pure magic, an unbridled vanilla, sweet, raw and achingly desirable. Of course, Tihota isn't the first perfume to focus on the dark sweetness of vanilla… perfumery is filled with vanillas, but this smells like the dream of a master perfumer who was obsessed with vanilla and was finally given free rein to worship the note with no apologies. It is, without a sliver of a doubt, the finest pure vanilla we've ever had the honor of carrying, and it's so beautiful it pains us to put the bottle down.

Here's what other people are saying about Tihota...

Rich, seasonally versatile vanilla perfume for gals and guys. It really should be unisex. I sampled Tihota a while ago, and my immediate thought upon opening the sample was that if humans did have pheromones, they’d probably smell like this. When Greek gods drink ambrosia, this is what they’re tasting. My monkey brain genuinely wanted to take a bite of it. Two years later, I’m still thinking about it and finally back to buy a full bottle! The push I needed was a guy sitting next to me, smelling fantastic and making me jealous about not being him, then me going “...is that Tihota?” to which he replies “YES!” Lol, of course it was.

This is the most beautiful vanilla smell. It was discontinued for a year? I was crushed I decided to check Lucky scent and was elated!!

This perfume is pure perfection. It makes me want to cry--it is that good. I LOVE vanilla, and my all-time favorite is Vanilla Lace by Victoria's Secret. Tihota smells JUST like it...a beautiful vanilla that is slightly musky and warm, with no sicky sweetness. I do need to mention the longevity is not stellar on me. When I first applied it, it lasted not even two hours. I am now wearing it for the third day, and today I can finally smell it on me and when I move even hours later. I wish the sample came in a spray container rather than one where you have to dab your finger directly on the sampler and then onto your skin. I can't help but wonder if it were sprayed on me rather than "dabbed" if it would project more and last longer.

Tihota is a beautiful, linear vanilla that lingers on sweaters and scarves beautifully in the colder months. This is vanilla done right: not sickly sweet or cloying but warm, mature and comforting.

By Li - Teacher from Providence on 8/4/2019

In my opinion, the best straight up niche vanilla fragrance that I have tested. Tihota opens up with a smooth, comfortable, lightly sugared vanilla that remains linear throughout its beautiful 8 hour journey. Not a lot of musk present but a warm subtle enjoyable vanilla experience. After I first sampled Tihota, I couldn't wait to purchase a 50 ml bottle. Sample often my friends and share the ride!

concentrated vanilla bean lovely .

By MARAM - Researcher from Makkah on 7/26/2019

Finally, I'm able to try this fabled fragrance. Firstly I am surprised that it is much lighter-bodied than I had expected, with much subtler sillage and transparent tenacity. TIHOTA is also considerably more balsamic/ambered than I had expected; indeed, benzoin is more prominent in this scent than actual vanilla is, and the perfume relies on balsams more than vanilla bean for its effects. I confess... I'm a wee bit underwhelmed. It's a high quality, well-blended fragrance, though.

It's a scent of vanilla at its purest form. Sweet, simple and true heaven for vanilla lovers. I don't detect the musk, I think the musk just elevates the aroma of vanilla making it warm and opulent. I ordered a sample and couldn't order a full bottle fast enough. I also like to layer this perfume on top of other fragrances that need a touch of sweetness. I just love it!

By Luna - bartender from indianapolis on 4/5/2019

This is a very sweet vanilla with just a bit of musk to keep it adult. It's something I love wearing in cooler temps to warm myself up with and fill the chill void. I wore it to bed last night and fell asleep sniffing myself. HA!

By Belinda - Counselor from Boise on 3/16/2019

OMG. I love the scent. All you need is a little bit and it lasts all day can't wait to get the bigger bottle I have to save to get the $200.00 is a bit steep for my pockets but I do intend to get it I just have to save for it

By Deborah - Retired from Mattapan on 3/8/2019

My story with this one is rather odd. I bought it for my wife. She initially loved it and wore obsessively, and now she can't stand it anymore. A sticky cloud of sweet vanilla followed everywhere she went while wearing it, and after a while it became too much of one note to bear. So I've brought it from the back of the cupboard and tried it myself, and I must say, on me, it's a great fragrance too, although less sticky and more dusty and musky. Still sweet, comforting, big teddy bear hug scent for grown-up girls (or boys). None so far commented it smells feminine on me. Good cold weather wear.

By Trident - Designer from Australia on 2/13/2019

I've been looking for a perfume that smelled like vanilla but that wasn't overly sweet. I look at reviews and decided to buy a sample of this perfume...... I just received the sample and I'm about to buy the whole bottle. It smells sooooo delicious, I can't stop smelling. $200 is a lot of money but I think it's worth it because no other perfume smells this good.

By Emily - Nurse from Pembroke Pines on 1/26/2019

I have searched in vain for a vanilla scent as good or even similar to this. I have sampled every Lucky Scent vanilla as well as others. [The dry-down of Dulcis in Fundo is close but no cigar.]There is just nothing as luscious and perfect as this. It should seem so simple [vanilla + musk] but it is not! My favorite of all time.

By kk - self employed from NYC on 1/24/2019

I had been dying to sample this for what felt like forever, so I finally bit the bullet and ordered tons of samples of lots of different perfumes here. Turns out, I DO love this scent, but here's the thing: To my nose, this is the same exact thing as Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace. It's a very sweet vanilla pudding scent, and I wore it for years and years. Now, Vanilla Lace is long discontinued, but I DO still have several bottles of perfume as well as the body spray, AND I have an oil dupe. So I really don't need to pay $200 for a bottle of Tihota. Yet. Someday, yes, I'll get it. But just now I can't justify it. Of course Tihota is a step up in quality, but if you want to know what it smells like, there you go!

By Christina - Artist from Austin on 1/16/2019

If you like vanilla then this is for you,. I get compliments in the form of mmm you smell like chocolate or cookies or something yummy to eat. Both men and women love the smell of this beauty on me. I get a bottle evry year for my birthday

By Belkis - pilates Instructor from Talent on 12/29/2018

Rich, delicious vanilla. Very well put together. Very linear. Straight up, no frills vanilla. I like that it is simple yet not boring. Absolutely comforting. I think this is more appropriate for those up close and personal encounters.

By Geng Cabasag - IT Manager from Quezon City, PH on 10/28/2018

Like Julie below, I too am a vanilla-aholic ("Hello Melissa!"). Tihota really is the best of the best. If you find that it smells 'cheap', I'm really curious to hear your favorites, sincerely. Always on the lookout for more! That said, it does mix well with other perfumes. I am a huge fan of 'turning down' scents a degree or two by applying tihota. Example: I happen to like Tuberose but most perfumes are just TOO much tuberose, so I mix it with Tihota and it's perfect and turns it into something even better. Just wanted to throw that out there for others in case they were curious. :)

By Melissa - Analyst from West Coast on 10/8/2018

I found it: THE most exquisite vanilla scent I have ever encountered... It makes you FEEL sexy, special.... So much depth to this fragrance - it has to be smelled to be believed... It lasts for at least 12 hours on me and just gets better throughout the day.

By Joanna - nanny from Chicago (via England...;) on 6/6/2018

I tried a sample and was hooked but I was reluctant to spend so much on a treat for myself so I requested it for Mother's Day! This scent is rich, warm and sweet but not cloyingly so. It is quite subtle and personal scent. Delicious!

By I adore this! - Music Instructor from Philadelphia on 5/13/2018

I have to agree with everyone's Comptoir and similar comparisons. I should have paid more attention to the fact that the word "sugar" is part of the description. The opening notes smell incredibly similar to that Pink Sugar fragrance everyone was wearing awhile back. I would hope if you put them side by side, this one would be different. This smells like cotton candy. I only ordered a sample, thankfully. It may be good for layering with a muskier fragrance, but it's too sugary sweet on it's own.
