Probably the bougiest perfume I’ve come across
I don’t have much experience with concentrated perfume oils besides the roll ons you get from the African stores around NYC, a few of Nest’s perfume oils, and more recently, Solstice Scents’s extrait rollerballs. Perfume oils are a great way to wear fragrance, especially if you have sensitive skin, or when you want to keep the scent closer to you, but still have it to last all day.
Vanilla Barka is a resinous vanilla scent, that is about 90-95% similar to YSL’s Babycat to my nose and on my skin. The major difference between the two is that YSL has a more noticeable spice to it and the suede note gives it a bit of rubberiness. VB is just straight vanilla with a potent amber accord from the olibanum. It’s really beautiful and strong from the first application, and a little goes a long way.
The only major downsides to this fragrance are that (1) it doesn’t project well after about the first 1-2 hours of wear and (2) it retails for over $500. It is of the highest quality though, so I can understand why it’s so pricey. However, because I already own and LOVE Babycat, this is redundant to have. While I’m really glad to have tried this, I don’t think it makes sense to keep in my collection.
