Picked up in the dark
Actually, I don't like vanilla in fragrances, especially if it is the main ingredient. She's usually too sweet or too soft for me. There are exceptions such as Helmut Lang's "Eau de Cologne", where it is used very discreetly.
But this fragrance is an exception, although it is a pure vanilla fragrance. That's because he lives up to his name.
This is quickly joined by an impression that is amazingly reminiscent of Roiboos vanilla tea. An incredibly smooth, silky nuance. At this point the fragrance has reached a deep, full-bodied and almost velvety aroma and in my opinion the climax. From then on it runs very linear, gets a bit sweeter, and keeps this earthy, deep vanillity, as I attribute it to an untreated (bourbon) vanilla pod, until the end. You feel at home in this fragrance from the very beginning. It is not exuberant and so wonderfully balanced that I am always happy to wear it in cool weather. And that's supposed to mean something as vanilla-critical perfume!

scent:
It starts with a beautiful, natural bourbon vanilla note, which already has this intense, full vanilla aroma, which will distinguish this fragrance. However, it is not exuberant, but restrained by a spicy, ethereal and slightly alcoholic tone, which cannot be perceived in its radiance. It gives the fragrance earth connection and depth.

stability and silage:
I can perceive the scent on my skin very well for about 4 hours. After that, the effect gradually diminishes, but I can still feel it slightly for a very long time. After 12 hours of movement (2 sprayers on the neck) it is still easily visible. The Sillage travels for several hours in a well moderate manner. From the 4th - 5th hour the radiation becomes slowly very close.Application:
In my eyes it is an ideal autumn and winter scent, because it conveys a lot of warmth. It is equally suitable for both special and everyday occasions, as it is neither too modern nor too classic or elegant. He has a very special, unagitated, timeless character. Very pleasant. conclusion:
This vanilla scent convinced me that there are earthy, deep vanilla scents that don't get too sweet, but don't have to hide their character either. With this new release, the Berlin niche brand Urban Scents - to which I have already referred in more detail in my commentary on Gunpowder Cologne - has once again succeeded in creating a very high-quality, very natural-looking and basically, despite its long shelf life, pleasantly restrained fragrance
