Orange Blossom & Vanilla Fragrances

Floral, Amber Floral, Amber Vanilla

If you are familiar with my blog, you know I love orange blossom and vanilla combinations in my perfumes. I know already a lot of fragrances with this note profile and I keep comparing one to another in my posts. Hence I thought it would be more practical to do a run down of orange blossom and vanilla perfumes in one video. Orange blossom and vanilla together create a lush, exotic, sweet combo that I am fascinated about. I have picked seven scents and two honorable mentions. I also give recommendations which climate and time of the day they are suitable for. Relax and enjoy the ride 🙂 xoxo

Classique Jean Paul Gaultier

Amber Floral
Perfumer: Jacques Cavallier

Fifteen years ago, I smelled Classique in Sephora and I didn’t understand the hype about it. I found it too strong, too mature. Today, I tried the scent again and I am wowed. I am glad I took chances and rediscovered this complex womanly smell. Many different versions have been created; nonetheless, I am still in love with the original.

The first vibe that you get is an expensive hotel soup. The deeper you get, the more you start picturing a woman, a lover, a wife, a mother. And then you think! it smells like me, you, the lady 25+ next door! The bottle summarizes the scent well. It’s a female body in all its dimensions at all time – a staple for women. This is evident especially when the scent dries down. It’s sweet – not sickly sweet but soapy luxuriously sweet.

Sometimes we just have to grown to appreciate certain things in life perfumes included. My love for perfumes is a journey. I change my mind about scent over a period of time and I guess so do you. You develop, your taste changes, your life changes. Experience brings different points of view. It’s good to go back and reassess.

A women signature, my personal love at second sight. 100/100
