REVIEWS
Fragrantica - the smell of a Vintage ice cream parlor air and you’re smelling all the different ice creams. I feel like I can smell some type of coldness at the drydown. another solid beastmode kerosene
Fragrantica - When you’re a little kid convinced that making ice cream soup with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate syrup is better than regular ice cream > Mentholated/cooling vanilla with YUMMY sticky chocolate
Fragrantica - Kerosene will never produce anything 'typical' or generic. This is a prime example. You won't get a cakey, sickeningly sweet vanilla with this one (haven't we had enough of those?) Dark resiney vanilla and cocoa. I truly love it. What's more, whenever I wear it, inevitably, someone around me sniffs the air, exclaiming: 'Who smells good?" That's more than enough for me.
Fragrantica - favorite perfume house for a reason. This is fucking insane. waxy chocolate syrup and straight up vanilla extract
Fragrantica - The bourbon vanilla and cocoa are the real standouts of this fragrance. It's a turpernic, wooden floorboard dusted with cocoa powder and vanilla ice cream melting into your skin; it's quite elemental and ethereal. It's a lot brighter than I would have imagined and feels like a light fog swirling around you (unlike the typical heavy vanilla that clings to your skin). This stays fairly light and musky throughout and, if you inhale closely, you get a rich and unctuous vanilla (it's slightly reminiscent of the vanilla in Promises Promises, but warmer). This isn't something that I would reach for immediately right now, but I think this will be a winner in the colder months.
Fragrantica - Deeply edible in a way that most vanillas aren't - no hint of that artificial candle scent, or the sickly-sweetness that some vanillas can take on. Truly so gourmand that it borders on savory. But, it relatively quickly fades into something much more earthy and even musky, to the extent I almost pick up hints of grass after a few hours. I absolutely LOVE vanillas - if I'm picking up a candle or something, I am always going to go for vanilla, and I've sampled dozens of vanilla fragrances, but this is the first one I've really considered a full-sized bottle of.
Fragrantica - Such a unique vanilla scent! Absolutely beautiful! Overdose of vanilla with a lot of cocoa power
Fragrantica - it was like photorealistic vanilla ice cream with cocoa and caramel! absolutely stunning.
Fragrantica - For me, this starts with a chocolate vanilla liquor very delicious but not too sweet. It dries down to a vanilla incense, very musky, deep smoky, almost with some sandalwood or other soft woody romantic evening kind of scent. I love it.
Fragrantica - The cacao is probably the most prominent note, mixed with the musk. The vanilla is a very soft and semisweet vanilla.
Fragrantica - This opens with a thick creamy lactonic vanilla and chocolate.. almost like vanilla bean frozen custard covered in chocolate syrup, but it dries down quickly to a sweet, tobacco-like chocolate, vanilla and patchouli scent. I generally do not like patchouli, but I don't mind it much here because the chocolate and vanilla both stay pretty consistent. The whole combination is very deep and rich. I didn't know I'd ever need another vanilla scent from John Pegg after Promises, Promises, but I'm not complaining that we got one!
