About This Perfume
Olfactive Studio Vanilla Shot smells like warm vanilla caramel, resinous spice, dried fruits. It opens with Russian coriander, saffron and aldehydes, moves into opoponax, dried fruits and Turkish rose and settles on Ugandan vanilla, siam benzoin and somali myrrh. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2018.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $195.
