by Les Senteurs Gourmandes
Vanille De La Réunion by Les Senteurs Gourmandes is a deeply sweet, gourmand vanilla fragrance with a caramelized, baked extract quality. The scent develops slowly after a faint alcohol opening, revealing a soft, powdery vanilla base layered with hints of buttery shortbread and subtle sweetness reminiscent of pudding or cookie dough. Although some users note a synthetic or plastic-like quality in the early stages, the scent matures into a more natural-looking, warm vanilla that evokes a luxurious dessert. The longevity is moderate—especially on fabric—but sillage is notably weak, which many users find disappointing despite the otherwise pleasing scent. The fragrance excels in layering, softening and sweetening other perfumes, making it ideal for personalization and night wear. It leans feminine but is sufficiently unisex in tone to appeal to those seeking a cozy, indulgent vanilla without the aggressive projection of higher-end gourmands.
