I can attest that this truly smells like frangipani as the trees line the little paths of my parents' neighbourhood. I rank this between Songes EDT and EDP. The EDT for Songes doesn't last very long on my skin unfortunately despite its beauty. The EDP is much stronger than L'Erbolario, the frangipani and vanilla in that truly stand out remarkably for many hours. L'erbolario handles the more expensive competition well, sillage is good and longevity surpasses 12 hours on clothes. A beautiful smooth mix of frangipani, non overpowering vanilla and a creamy coconut. Beautiful and inexpensive. I am very pleased with my purchase which is less than half the price of Songes in my country.

Very clean, very simple. I get some citrus, wood and lavender. A comfort scent for no nonsense days where a straightforward perfume is reached for. Sillage is good, about an arm's length but longevity could be better, after four hours it becomes pretty much a skin scent. Still, for the price, it's definitely worth it.

It's a dry, spicy, boozy vanilla/caramel combination. It's nowhere as gourmand as L de Lolita, yes I agree it's a smoky relation to Tea for Two by L'artisan, I find it less sweet in a good way as compared to SDV by Guerlain but I think Mona di Orio did a better dry vanilla. There is a harshness around the edges of this beauty, it isn't as refined as SDV or Mona's Vanille but at this price, they shouldn't be compared. Sillage is good, about an arm's length but longevity could be alot better, I'm getting maybe three hours maximum before this becomes a skin scent. All in all, I'm happy with this different take on an oriental vanilla.

Not revolting but very much plain and simple toothachingly sweet creamy vanilla. Bombastic sillage and longevity. I reach for this when I want to be enveloped in a gigantic marshmallow.

Patchouli heaven. I love how patchouli can play so many roles. How it can be a sweet gourmand chocolate in Coromandel, earthy and medicinal in Le Labo's Pathouli. Here, patchouli is dominant but well supported by the opening chorus of citrus, the herbal tones of elemi resin, the smoothness of sandalwood and the vanilla tones of tonka bean in the base. This is neither gourmand nor medicinal. It is a cheerful brightening scent, well-named now that I think about it. Sillage is good, about an arm's length and longevity after a few times of testing, I would say lasts well above 12 hours. All in all, a lovely blind buy and I am very happy to have it.
