If I'd expected you today, I would have made a cake...
As always, my husband has seen various YT videos about perfumes and now he really wanted to have a vanilla perfume. And not just anything with vanilla, no sweet vanilla it must also still be.
I suffer a lot from headaches when perfume is too sweet, so I had always tried to avoid that until now. When I heard vanilla, I inevitably had Vanilla Kisses (deodorant from the 90s) in front of my eyes and immediately got a headache.
But it was as so often, all discussing helped nothing - a sample had to come.
I came home, my husband had off that day. I unlocked the apartment door and when I came into the hallway, everything smelled like freshly baked, warm cake. I can barely comprehend that moment. I was immediately in a good mood and was looking forward to the cake. Although I knew at the same time that my husband has never baked a cake and why should he, it was not a special day. Full of anticipation I came to him in the living room, the smell still present. Of course there was no cake, it was his new Montale sample that smelled so wonderful here. It was crazy, I had to go to the bakery right away and buy two muffins. I would not have survived this day without pastries?
The same day, we ordered the bottle!
I actually smell only this cake-like vanilla smell, which is so pleasant and not at all as sweet as you might think.
The sillage is terrific and yet not intrusive, well anyway not if you like it :)
The durability is insane, sprayed on in the morning and in the evening in bed you can still smell for others perceptible and even more so for yourself. On the clothes you still smell after days. The apartment also smells the whole day and now that you know that there is nothing to eat, I spray him also like just times so in the air. As a room fragrance he would also be perfect, because the scent is so mega pleasant and yet restrained.
I am constantly addressed on the street, at the bakery and while shopping. The people think, however, rather not that it is a perfume. They ask rather what I have that smells so delicious after cake, cookies, etc.
I would not wear it now on a plane, train or anywhere else where you are very close to people. Simply because it smells very very and if my neighbor doesn't like it as much as I do, he can't just ignore it. No he can't...
It is a real surprise and there is danger of addiction ?

True sweet vanilla
I received Montale’s discovery kits for my birthday and I was amazed how many vanilla scents variations in it. “Sweet vanilla” is simple, but at the same time interesting combination of vanilla and apricot notes. I like how it opens up within few hours and I can see why people recommend to layer this perfume with other fragrances, due to musky sweet dried notes. It gives gourmand sweetness and luxury feel to it. I don’t know how others can hear this scent for 6 and more hours? It was gone on me within few hours and I have to reapply again. I like perfumes with more complexity then this one. It was great way to experience this fragrance, but to my taste I like “Vanilla cake” for very gourmet scent. If you like very light perfumes, it is still good choice.

Vanilla dream...
When I smell it I just fly away, I find myself in a vanilla cloud. Smells like an edible, delicious vanilla, vanilla cake, slightly fresh and sweet at the same time. A woman can smell so delicious, so if you like edible vanilla scents, you absolutely need this fragrance, I can recommend it 100%. This fragrance lasts a long time on my skin, when I use it I immediately get in a good mood, such a delicious scent. It doesn't smell as typical as Monale fragrances with this typical musky note, it's something different, something special, like a light, vanilla, fresh, citrusy dessert.

Apricot Vanilla Cake!
A fragrant friend of mine sent me a sample of this perfume along with Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande and Andromeda's Moon Tihota. I sprayed each on different parts of my arm and smelled one at a time. I was immediately drawn to Escapade Gourmande (I now own a full size bottle and am obsessed with it!) and put the other two away because they didn't really do anything to catch my attention much. A couple of weeks later I was messing with samples in my closet and decided to give Montale Sweet Vanilla another go. I sprayed a little on a paper strip and inhaled. And oh my goodness, it was GOOD! I could smell something that was almost lemony at first (looked at the notes and it was apricot..not sure how that read as lemon-like to my nose but it did) mixed with a beautiful vanilla. And then the dry down of that beautiful, sweet vanilla came through and I decided that I had to have it. I ordered a bottle and while I was waiting for that to come, I wore the sample and realized that, although I loved the smell of Sweet Vanilla, that glorious opening fades after a few minutes and then I am left with that lovely, but hard to detect, sweet vanilla scent. I have to put my nose right to where I sprayed the fragrance to actually smell it, and really try to smell it, which is a bummer. I have read and heard so much about this fragrance being a projector and I didn't even get a scent bubble from it, which would have been ideal. I will still use Sweet Vanilla because it's such a lovely scent, but I will be layering it with some of my other vanillas so I am not left with the sense that I am not even wearing perfume.

Edit: I decided to spray Sweet Vanilla on after over a month and now I can smell it much better!! That sweet vanilla apricot cake scent lasts way longer now!! I love it!!

Vanilla dessert vibes with a light freshness
The Sweet Vanilla definitely smells like a delicious dessert.
But the scent doesn't overwhelm anyone. Somehow, Sweet Vanilla is still relatively "light" and soft in contrast to many other Montale fragrances.

A slightly refreshed vanilla cake, you might think.
There is no lemon listed, but I had the impression of smelling something like that.
But it could also be that the apricot is responsible for this impression.

The fragrance smells really pleasant and relatively "delicious. A beautiful fragrance from the house of Montale.
Nevertheless, I have to say that one or two vanilla-type fragrances convince me more.
I'm thinking of Leisure in Paradise by Simone Andreoli, for example.
Nevertheless, Sweet Vanilla is definitely worth a test and I know some people who love it.

The performance is strong as usual from Montale even if I had the impression that this one is a little weaker than some other fragrances from the brand.

No apricot to me - mostly just "bourbon cola" or "rum & Coke", with a hint of marshmallow; heavy on the cola accord.

A vanilla cake with apricot jam. Or weirdly enough, a Terry's Chocolate Orange.
