Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

Recommended Posts

 

 

Okay I have discovered my guy LOVES Antique Lace (join the club bud) and he wanted to slather himself in it and diffuse it so I had to explain that it is very precious. I gave him an imp of The Lights of Men's Lives as a non-foody vanilla alternative and he really liked it and I am wondering if there are other ones that you guys would recommend? Masculine leaning would be interesting but I honestly don't think it matters to him as long as it isn't a super-sugar-floral explosion.

has he tried Dorian?
I thought of that one (when will it come back in stock??) Would Theodosius be similar enough? I have a hard time distinguishing foody vs. nonfoody in descriptions

 

 

Theodosius is quite similar, I think, and I actually like it better. I have often thought it would smell just as good on a guy. It's fantastic.

Does anyone know of any scents similar to Zorya P? I am absolutely in love with the blueness of the vanilla.

I tried Pediophobia and I think the tobacco gave me similar impressions, but it just wasn't "blue" enough, if that makes sense?

I'm sorry for suggesting a rare, but Edith Cushing could be it. It's definitely similar with the whispy ethereal vanilla and ambergris. Ava from the Only Lovers Left Alive is also in the same family, as is Butterflies, Flowers, and Jewels Attending...also HTF

 

Lyonesse could be a GC close cousin.

Thank you for the recommendations, sprout!

I might have to sell my soul to try Edith but I do have a decant of Ava! lol

While I don't mostly think of it as a vanilla scent, the overall moods of Lullaby and Zorya P feel very similar to me. Lullaby is more lavender to me than vanilla, though it does list vanilla orchid. I think the mood comes from the moonflower-vanilla combination that they share. I get such a gossamer, night-fairy feeling from it.

 

I wonder if that would be worth playing with?
