Vanilla for the summer
This Juliette Has A Gun fragrance had been in my sights for several weeks. This month I took the deal and bought it for a good price. It's a great brand that is especially known for great women's fragrances. Especially the Mmmm ... Besides women's scents, there are also some unisex scents in the assortment. Most of the fragrances of this brand can be bought at designer prices, especially on the internet in certain shops with fair prices. Absolutely fair for high quality and great packaging. Especially ladies should have a look at this brand, if they don't know it yet. Great modern fragrances and some with a lot of sex appeal and elegance.
It was a blind buy. After many years of experience my hit rate is extremely good without any bad buy. Not even this one. A fragrance that doesn't have that rude awakening if you like the notes given. Especially I'm looking for fancy summer scents that don't just smell like a citrusy refresher that floods the summer market. Of course I like this type of scent too, but fancy is great in summer. That summer cheerfulness vibe. My beloved Jacques Fath Curacao Bay also goes in this direction. I simply like these exotic good mood DNAs which are extremely different from the usual ones This fragrance is not an Everybody's Darling, as you can already see from the rating here. A polarizing fragrance that not everyone likes. Who likes sweet scents in summer should definitely try this one. Especially those who can add a salty, aquatic note. This scent definitely stands out among the common summer DNA's.

One at a time: As usual with JHAG fragrances, you get a great big box like you would wish for a niche. A great packaging that can be opened and is wrapped in exactly the same size as the flacon. Very great. Plus a bottle with a great colour gradient and the spray head is one of the best. Big compliment Perfumer is Romano Ricci, who, it seems, works only for this brand. I believe he also owns this brand.
Vanilla in summer? Can you do that? Absolutely. Very good. If vanilla is accompanied by fresh summery notes very good even. For me vanilla is a note I like to smell all year round. Only in humid weather a note I do without. Here it is present over the whole course. The main players are clearly sweet vanilla paired with salty-aquatic Fleur de Sel. This note is a kind of sea salt, which gives it a great summer feeling. In addition, fresh orchid is added, which fits well into this summery robe. Tonka bean also gives the fragrance a great creamy-sweet note, which is slightly reminiscent of body lotion/sun cream. All in all a great gentle scent, which fits especially in summery leisure time and provides for good mood.
Registered as a unisex scent, which I can confirm. In my opinion, he is unisex, although here the majority in the chart classify him as female. Especially the salty note keeps him on the unisex side. Conservative and more mature men are unlikely to be happy with it. I like to wear it without hesitation. The more feminine version with similar DNA but more floral chords is Beach Walk by Maison Magiela, which is also great.
Performance is top, as you would expect from vanilla fragrances. 8+ hours loose with mostly good sillage and lots of good mood.

A fragrance I can warmly recommend for vanilla fans. A uniquer summer scent of a really very good brand. It's great that you can get it very cheap, because it can keep up with many high priced fragrances. But you should test it rather, as it will not appeal to some people.

Sunny, Sea, Salt and the shy vanilla
I was sent a bottling of this fragrance because I came across this candidate while searching for vanilla scents. I noticed that it also has a name in the community and is no longer an underdog. Here's my perception of the scent, hope you enjoy reading.

The first sniff:
Immediately after spraying it on my skin, the thought popped into my head - this is sunscreen after all. A scented sunscreen that, in addition to its main function of protecting the skin, also aims to make the skin smell tropically sweet. I really liked this, so I had no problem with this perfumed sunscreen layer wanting to linger on my skin for another 10 minutes. Initially, Vanilla Vibes also comes very transparent therefore and reveals already 10 minutes after spraying the salty note.

Development:
Over time, the fragrance is increasingly intransparent and denser and parallel join floral and creamy chords with it, vanilla and orchid. The vanilla stands out here, despite the warmth that it gives, not particularly, rather it remains in the background. Well, apparently she is not quite so happy here in the spotlight.
In addition, I mean to hear now also something woody in the base, Tonka bean I find, however, not at all and also Benzoe I have not recognized here.
I have the fragrance now just let a second sniff, who described him as aquatic and not fresh. Yes, I can only agree with that. You get a lot here but nothing fresh. No citrus notes, no fruits.
On performance, I can say that durability and sillage are not outstanding.

Conclusion:
I like the fragrance very much, simply because I like vanilla and citrus notes in fragrances personally do not like to smell on me. I was neither surprised nor disappointed. Some in the community it may smell a little too musty, which I can understand, but I can shake off this thought well and try to fill the fragrance from the beginning with positive impressions.

Finally, I still have a pretty good twin:
It is Blu Donna by Acqua dell`Elba (cheaper with stronger sillage)
The base of Vanilla Vibes smells amazingly similar to this perfume here. I also did the blind test and did not know which is which.

Feel free to write what your impression was if you've already tested it :)

Thanks for the Good Vibrations
Although it's almost summery warm outside today, I'm sitting in my sofa corner - a bit battered and frustrated - trying to chill. Today is the right day for "Vanilla Vibes".

Mixtures of vanilla and sandalwood almost always work for me. The sweet-warm charisma lifts my mood and relaxes me.

"Vanilla Vibes" interprets this combination of vanilla and tonka notes with a sandalwood base as relatively dark - especially for a summer fragrance. The fragrance does not have the radiance of Jilsander's "Sun", not the sophistication of Bottega Veneta's "Essence Aromtique". That's why it's just right today.

From my point of view the flacon in the colours of a day at the sea irritates: no sea scent, no sun cream and no coconuts. "Vanilla Vibes" is rather the evening after the day at the sea: The hair is still a little matt from the salt. Exhausted from a warm day you can enjoy the warmth of the evening sun on the balcony. A damn good feeling.

Unfortunately the smell is not perceptible with me particularly long. Already after one hour it is at most close to the body. It is not suitable for a long holiday - but it is enough for a nice end of the day. Or to feel better in between

Uuuuhhhhhh..
Vanilla Vibes.. I must confess, even as I was reading vanilla and musk in the fragrance description, my little Duftnerd-heart jumped and I went to my local fragrance dealers to take a nose full. In vain. There are two perfumeries in my 'dump': The big chain that now distributes silver loyalty cards and a slightly smaller chain that sounds similar to an aging TV chef who was very successful in the 80s. Schubeck's name is
Similar to the kitchen of the 80s, the assortment of the two stores is also... So no Vanilla Vibes. Douglas salesgirl didn't even know the badge. Uh... She recommended Pure Musc from Narciso as an alternative as a novelty to me... Um... But I digress.
Today I got a bottling from my dear Ervin and sprayed the scent on my wrist. In fact, something slightly salty was scurrying through my nose for a moment. I live at the North Sea, I know about salty air. ;) It was a floral-salty touch, quite fine, not stormy. And then immediately came one of my favorites, vanilla...always accompanied by fine, dark, floral notes...not long, then sandalwood and musk join in. That's nice. Warm. Soft. Unobtrusive. Velvety
I am definitely fixed and will continue to sniff and enjoy the next few days. I think he can move in with me soon. And I'm gonna love him. In dark months without sun, when I want to feel sexy...or others should find me sexy. ;) Because he can..

Juliette has no gun but a Womanity Dupe with wood stain
Yeah. So today I tested a specimen. Nice flacon, promising scent pyramid.

Sprayed on it and a wave of alcohol floods me (Benzoe Absolue?!). Just like those cheap drugstore scents: you spray and smell nothing but alcohol. Then I smell coconut. Aaaaah, I read it, it's not there, I can still smell it. BUT: this is more of an alcohol note with coconut base! If I were a craftswoman, this would be my preferred wood stain. That's how the scent smells and I sniff my arm shaking my head.

Nah, not really. Where are the rest of the scents?!!

I waited a little while and then... huh? Eh? Hm?... Did I do Womanity today... I... no, no, I did Good Girl today. Why does it smell... oh?! The salt! Funny, I smell a slightly sweeter Womanity EdP Dupe.

It stays like that for a while until everything on my skin calms down. Now, 7 hours later, there is a very nice scent, which has nothing to do with the previous impressions, but is very close
I'm not a master carpenter and I already have Womanity EdP, so dear Juliette, it's not going to work out with us, get your gun and go home! :-)

It's a little ordinary and slightly funky by itself, but it layers beautifully with other scents.

Imagine coconut-ty intense vanilla. Occasional wafts are alluring but too much is cloying. It's calming, almost beachy sunscreen vibes.

It's mainly about coconut supported by a breezy ozonic/aquatic background. If you like freshies and coconut - this is for you.
