Crème Vanille
by Urban Outfitters
Crème Vanille is a light, simple gourmand with sweet brown sugar and apricot notes, offering a soft, powdery musk that leans more toward a body mist than a lasting fragrance. It has a skin-scent intensity with intimate sillage, and while it projects modestly, it doesn’t last beyond moderate duration. Though marketed as a vanilla fragrance, many users find it lacks true vanilla character, instead leaning into a warm, sugary-apricot profile with faint amber undertone. The scent is clean, gentle, and linear—reminiscent of warm vanilla sugar or a lighter version of BBW’s popular scent—but falls flat in longevity and projection. Some users appreciate it as a delicate layering option or for sensitive environments due to its subtle, non-invasive nature.
Pros
- +Simple and clean fragrance profile ideal for those who want a light gourmand without overpowering sweetness
- +Suitable as a body mist or layering scent due to its mild sillage and low impact
- +Good balance of sweet brown sugar and apricot, making it approachable even if it's not a true vanilla fragrance
Cons
- −Falls short on vanilla presence, making it misleading in name for fans of cream-based vanillas
- −Weak longevity and faint projection limit its use as standalone fragrance
- −Feels overly basic and underwhelming compared to other gourmands with deeper development or more complex accords
