The rose oil seems to stay for a while before fading, but it's more of a background player to the vanilla throughout.

Trying it has been a lesson on not going into sampling with a fantasy or expectation (although sometimes that’s half the fun! I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect warm rose perfume and I’ve tried things from Oud Satin Mood to Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper to Nina Ricci Rose L’Extase to Armani Si Intense. The rose here is not young, but rather dark, already in the fading stage, but huge, burgundy, beautiful. If you love the very end of the dry-down of Roses Vanille, when most of the rhubarb and rose has evaporated and there's only the sweet candied vanilla white musk. I would even consider repurchasing because I see the potential layering this with a rich vanilla or amber fragrance or lotion.It has this powderiness that burns my throat as time goes by, I had experienced this before with Lancôme’s La Nuit Trésor that used to be my signature scent. Roses Vanille projects pretty well, and lingers on clothes as it dries down to a soft vanilla milk type scent.

It lasts for a while, definitely worth the money and it can be worn in pretty much any weather, you just might need some time to appreciate the roses. However tldr; they all smell the same, the only difference is the quality, but in the dry down, they all make the grade.

Although vanilla is my favorite note in a fragrance I would’ve preferred more rose in this fragrance. I also put these 3 up against the middle eastern fragrance Infini Rose and that one is the most different, even though it is a sweet rose fragrance. I went through a travel size of Intense Cafe but didn’t love it- it was a little too sharp and just toooo much in general. Smells like standard black coffee beans and is detectable from opening to dry down but ever so faint in the base. First of all, what you smell is what you get, and I am very okay with the initial blast so YES, if you like more complex scents then this might not be the one for you.This smells like a combination of roses and something yummy that's backing in the oven like cookies or a cake.

They send me just the sponge, low quality have to say, the package was saying parcel 1 0f 2 but never received it after. What's even more bothersome is that these scents stay on my hair and skin even after a shower, and on the clothes until washing them. Edit: surprisingly this seems to be one of the only vanillas in my collection I can easily wear in the heat.They may track how you browse this and other sites, and create a profile of your interests which may be used for advertising purpose. Not an immediate favorite because of its simplicity, but I’ve really grown to love it for that very reason. I thought I’d give a sample a try since I LOVE vanilla, but it’s definitely on the back-burner here.

The base smells a little cheap; something you could get at Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret.So coffee note you can find from this and Montale Cafe Intense (where the name is miss leading because the coffee note is weak) but I wouldn't compare these as a similar scents, there is too many separating things but if you just look the notes, those two look so similar. All fragrances are 100% original but will not be supplied in any of the retail or branded packaging and no trademarks or logos will be used. I have Zara's Rose Gourmand which is meant to be a dupe of this perfume, but it is so synthetic and harsh.
