About This Perfume
Here is a vanilla that does what it says: Gulf Orchid Vanilla Addiction smells like creamy vanilla cake with a light floral dusting. Coconut and lavender open it soft and slightly herbal. Jasmine, rose and tonka bean form a gentle heart, and vanilla, amber and patchouli give the base warmth and a little depth.
This unisex eau de parfum works day or night in spring, fall and winter, and the community reaches for it on dates. Wearers describe it as sweet, warm and cozy. Longevity is moderate and projection sits at about arm's length. Opinion is evenly balanced and blind-buy safety sits just above the middle, so it is a comfortable pick for vanilla lovers.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who wants an affordable, cozy vanilla cake scent for dates.
- Sample first if: coconut tends to smell like sunscreen on you.
- Skip if: you want something fresh or dry.
Around $30.
