by Outremer
Vanille by Outremer is a pure, linear vanilla gourmand scent that evokes the comforting aroma of a freshly opened bottle of vanilla extract, sweetened with just a hint of cotton candy and caramel. It delivers a delicately sweet, airy, and edible fragrance that is both warm and soft, with no harsh synthetic notes. The scent is described as resembling a bakery’s vanilla wafer or a cloud of fluffy cotton candy with a subtle caramelized undertone—light, pure, and inviting. Some note a faint waxy or powdery aspect, reminiscent of vanilla bean or cake frosting, and others compare it to toasted marshmallows or sweetened cream. It is ideal for those who enjoy straightforward, wholesome vanilla scents without complexity or artifice. Performance is inconsistent: while some report it lasts up to 6 hours on skin and nearly all day on clothing with moderate projection, others experienced weak longevity, lasting only 1–2 hours, particularly on sensitive skin chemistries. The scent is widely praised for its affordability, suitability as a layering base, and gentle, affectionate character, making it ideal for casual, everyday wear during cooler seasons.
