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

Signature scent

The term signature scent has a very special meaning in perfume terminology. It’s a scent so unique to someone, we can even identify that person by her/his smell. Not everyone is a type for a signature scent. Some people have been searching for years and still haven’t found it. Our taste can also change over time as well as our signature scent. Or other people simply don’t enjoy wearing the same fragrance every day and rather change it depending on various factors.

Nevertheless, there are still people out there whose mind is clear and they are certain that one perfume means much more to them. They associate themselves with it and reach for it very often or even feel vulnerable without their scent. If you find yourself in those last words, in all probability, you’ve already discovered your signature.

Have you ever wondered which scents are often honored as signatures? I was very curious so I looked at a perfumery encyclopedia. Check out what I found!

Here are the fragrances which people rate as their signatures the most often:

1. Coco Mademoiselle, Chanel
2. Alien, Thierry Mugler

Coco Mademoiselle Chanel

Coco Mademoiselle is a complex, elegant, sweet yet fresh fragrance for ladies. There can be found fruity notes, as well as floral together with vanilla and sweet myrrh, for instance. The fragrance lasts all day and is neither too heavy nor too fresh.

It’s overall a pleasant scent, I felt comfortably wearing it, suitable for any kind of environment – day as well as night. And of course, a special occasion is definitely not out of the question.

Coco Mademoiselle is an elegant, beautiful every-day (special events too) scent. 70/100
