Again a " I steal my husband's scent " scent ^^.

Actually I only wanted to write a statement but the thing with the characters ^^ no matter how often I started new and how I wanted to write it, it did not work, always what was missing or is the smell in my eyes then still more value like a statement. # Frauhattausenddingeimkopf #ichbrauchmehrzeichen

So let's go, as you can already see from the superscription, it has once again been a purchase from my better half. He's always coming around the corner with new scents and that's how it was here too.

He says: "Schatziiiiii, my new Perry Ellis is here, come sniff around "

I'm like, "Who's this? Perry Ellis? Who's that? Never heard of .

If only I hadn't asked but just sniffed ^^

Because now followed a half hour lecture about Perry Ellis, why this fragrance, how great the bottle would look, how great it smells, how happy a man is, which fragrance twinning is indicated and what a bargain it was. He was very proud, the man ;-) #eristschonsüß,derMann

Yeah, wow the price sounds really good and 100 ml again. Cheeky as I am, I say once again...okay you take it then also to the grave ;-) . #Givennotsmaller ? ^^

No there's not smaller he says and then he sprayed off. #endlich

First moment and I think, wooow very oriental, not too sweet, slightly bitter, a creamy vanilla cloud sloshes towards me. It reminds me directly of Black Orchid, so a little bit, somehow I find it wicked and so different .......dark, warm, sensual, this rum with the vanilla wow and everything at the same time and in me this feeling comes up again, oh I could wear it too.

Still, I keep this thought with me and congratulate Mister Parfüm-Men on this great discovery. # proud to stand on his100ml

The rest of the evening I sniff at him every now and then, I really like the smell, he invites to cuddle.

In thought, I have the fragrance but already applied to me ;-) I imagine how I would smell with it.

Since I already know that he doesn't like it so much when he has to share (although it's 100ml) I praise him again for his great choice and then ask him quite nicely if I may use the fragrance the next day.

It came back as it had to.... first sentence " But please don't spray too much " . Small miser, I think to myself so and benicke his sentence ;-). #erhatjaimmerrecht

The next day I wore it ( 3 sprayers ) and it was really enough to have a nice Sillage and to feel my vanilla rum tobacco cloud all day long around me.

I like the whole interplay of the fragrance, not too sweet, not directly feminine but still very interesting.

Again a great discovery :-) and recommendable for both sexes.

Love

Boozy Vanilla

That Perry Ellis was in the game with my last order last month. He's been on my watch list for a long time and now he's standing here. A good buying tip for the coming autumn/winter. Overall, this is a great less known brand with great value for money fragrances. I own the Aqua dio Gio-Double 360 Red and the Allure-Double M will probably be bought soon.
I made a blind purchase here. Can you dare with the ratings, the pyramid and this price. 100ml you get between 30 and 40 euros. Fair and absolutely valuable for this quality. It is also said to be a Double of Spirituose Double Vanilla, which I don't know but which is highly esteemed here.

The bottle looks noble. The sign is reminiscent of a private blend. Well made with a prollige golden lid. One of three from the Oud series next to Vetiver Royale and Saffron Rose.
The pyramid is very clear and the scents are also good to smell. Also great smell development is to be recognized rather less here. The star of the creation is, of course, vanilla, as the name suggests. Vanilla is in the foreground from beginning to end. In addition a boozy rum note and a pleasant over not too penetrating tobacco note. This vanilla-rum-tobacco mix is very successful and also very suitable for the nightlife. It is not a second Tobacco Vanilla, because especially the lush spices are missing and here a great rum note is present. Also so: A very high-quality fragrance that has a lot of class and elegance. But through rum and tobacco also a little playful and wicked. Amber is rather less active, but provides a sensual touch. For the Oud title I can see extremely little Oud. I don't notice a clear oud note when minimally active in the background. Oud enemies should not be deterred.
All in all a beautiful gourmand who has rightly reached the 8.5 here. Altogether one will not make oneself enemies with this smell. A true crowdpleaser that will suit both sexes equally well. A good choice especially for leisure on colder days and for evening and night life. And for this price.
Also the performance is great with many hours durability and a good sillage. The Sillage is not as devastating as many other vanilla fragrances. Well dosed for this rather penetrating fragrance type.

Overall, I make my recommendation. Especially for those who like vanilla, rum and tobacco.

Beautiful vanilla with a hint of oud.

Cake with rum and vanilla aroma, a hint of clean, soft oud and a white flower wrapped in a slightly animal tobacco mist. There IS rum in it, there is also oud in it (but not this typical fecal, strong oud) and the vanilla is not at all one-dimensional on my skin. She lives and floats and lingers and breathes and changes all the time. One of my favourite vanilla creations and one of the few tippiest fragrances that I really like

One-dimensional vanilla or where are you, rum?

Note: When I mention the original of Guerlain in this commentary, it is not to make an objective comparison between the two scents. This is not possible at all, because I only smelled the Guerlain once and of course cannot have an exact impression. So if I draw an apparent comparison here, it is only in order to draw up an imaginary foil from which it becomes understandable what disturbs me about this scent in reality. So it's not about what's better about the other scent, it's about what Perry Ellis would have to be like for me to like it.
I bought the Perry Ellis because of the admittedly very ephemeral impression the Guerlain had left in my scent memory. Whether this impression itself was solid is of negligible importance here.
So what did I think I appreciated about the Guerlain? I tested the fragrance in midsummer, but not the best time of year to sniff it - and yet: I liked it, it was less vanilla-heavy than I had guessed. On the contrary: the rum, I think, loosened the whole thing up. It was something easy that didn't even bother me in the midsummer sun.
So it was on this basis that I bought the Perry Ellis - a bad buy, as it turned out. Because if the scent I had in mind was a "boozy vanilla" with a distinct light-footedness, his discount version turned out to be a heavy vanilla with a double bottom. I almost smell vanilla. You can also smell the rum, but it is clearly too weak for my taste. One senses a breath and wants to force him to spread out and show himself in full splendour. But I'm afraid that doesn't happen. Instead of spiritually balancing the vanilla note, the rum is just a tiny accent crushed under the vanilla blanket. Unfortunately, the fragrance loses its complexity and becomes a one-dimensional vanilla for me.
For me, the fragrance is only beautiful when I smell it in a kind of contemplative place on my hand. Then I can consciously enjoy the rum - of course by strengthening it in my imagination. In the Sillage, however, only a penetrating vanilla cloud remains, which even somehow smells 'cheap' to me. One knows this fragrance impression of vanilla coconut skin creams, from which one sometimes gets a whiff of a person passing on the street.
So no scent for me. I don't want to make him look bad either. Under two criteria it is perhaps better, than described by me: 1. it is in each case a better lady smell by the Vanillelastigkeit and 2. it is for the same reason definitely a winter smell for the same reason Anyway, I had to part with him and keep dreaming about the rum that didn't want to show itself.

Olfactory Blackout - Black Oud Vanilla

They still exist, the vanilla wonders of the extra class.

!!!

I'm sitting in the garden at the late hour of the evening, looking forward to the weekend and some relaxation. And I'm searching for appropriate phrases.... Can you ever put a fragrance into the right words?

The evening birds are chirping their last goodnight song, the dark shadows of the trees towering over everything now. The dark is a benefit for the eyes - times not strained to follow the white-blue PC flicker...

Rustle. It whispers and crackles everywhere.

Blackout. Darkness. Black Oud.....

Softly, the wind blows over, bringing me delicate vanilla wafts with some tobacco herb and amber. Soft and pleasing, they dance over my skin for quite a while. Somewhere there's a glass of rum on the table, who spilled something there ...?!? Very clearly I smell it now.
He remains, with the vanilla - Amour doux. Oud joins in playfully. I enjoy this combination. Stunningly beautiful. I see clear parallels with Spiritueuse Double Vanille, with the Guerlainer ending softer, creamier and more feminine. With Black Oud Vanilla, the rum notes predominate with soft oud notes in the finish.

This is a fragrance that is second to none. I sigh and go back inside. Is still clearly cold.
Inside surrounds me again this cozy rum amber vanilla, a pleasantly warm ambience.
Now you would only need a fireplace, the good glass of red wine is already ready ... ;-)

Perry Ellis, who unfortunately died much too early in 1986, created this wonderful unisex dream fragrance. Why only was he discontinued? He is traded at high prices, I am happy to have acquired a bottling - dear thanks to the seller.

Black Oud Vanilla.

Sometimes the nights we can't fall asleep are the nights we wake up.
