The exclusive French brand introduces "Eaux de Voyage", the scents from far away islands in South Pacific. Vanille Extrême is the 10th fragrance, originating from “Vanilla islands/ Vanille Des Isles", a kind of vanilla cult for gourmand aromas fans. Vanille Extrême is more intensive than Vanille Passion, sweet, warm and spicy. Raw sugar and milk, vanilla and heliotrope absolute are united in an ultra gourmand trail. Jacques Lions is the nose behind this fragrance. It was launched in 2005 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the house.
Sweet Cavity inducing Vanilla. Smells edible....last a long time.
I still have this one in the original formulation. I have had the 100 ml bottle of this EDT for 4 years already. For an edt, it lasts an amazing 10 hours (even longer when sprayed on clothes) and has amazing sillage. I've had the bottle for 4 years and since it is aluminum (shuts down light which can break down fragrance components), the juice inside still smells the same as the day I bought it. The foodiest vanilla I've tried. Whenever I wear this, people comment "Who smells like cake?"
Sadly, they changed the packaging and formulation of this delish fragrance.
this one is one of the best vanilla fragrances i've tested so far. the vanilla is so rich and creamy and i don't get any headache from it, which i unfortunately do from most vanilla scents like eg. kenzo amour.
it is not very complex but it is just gorgeous.
It begins as a buttery rich vanilla, almost like cake batter. I love vanilla scents, but thought this was going to be too one-dimensional for me. What a wonderful surprise as the sweeter notes began to swirl and depth began to develop after a couple of hours of wear. Now it's irresistable! I believe Vanilla Extreme will be excellent for layering as well.
Update: I was right-works beautifully with layering. Using it under some lighter scents to create depth and enjoying the new combinations very much.
I really love this scent but I must say, when I spray it on, it almost smells caramelly-ish. Not really vanilla. Doesn't matter though, I'm still a big fan.
At first spray I wondered what all the rave reviews were talking about. It smelled nice, sweet, fun, vanilla. Then, completely forgot about it and went on with my day. The first person I encountered, well "intoxicating" was one of the words he said. As the day passed whiffs of happiness and bliss come to mind.
Just ordered another bottle, yum!
This is a one hit wonder. If you like vanilla...real vanilla, not synthetic sweet smelling vanilla, this will satisfy. I wouldn't say it has any depth of heliotrope or milk though. It's one dimensional.
Only for serious vanilla lovers...otherwise, do not attempt to wear this one. The staying power is great, and it is wonderfully comforting. I think the milk is what really differentiates this one from other vanilla scents. If I had to make a decision, this is the best "vanilla" scent that I have tried.
Update: I have so many men tell me I smell like cake.
Wow this is straight Tahitian vanilla! As a vanilla lover this one takes the CAKE...I mean as in this smells like vanilla frosting, cake batter, sugary girl scout cookies,Yankee and Dreamer's vanilla candles..If this perfume were a song it would be from Tori Amos ''Baker''...It's lovely, I think I will layer it with a Serendipitous and trick my kiddo into thinking I baked his favorite chocolate cake from scratch.
Pour moi, c'est la meilleure vanille. Une vanille pure, amandée, lactée. Très très addictive. Quand je porte ce parfum, j'ai l'impression que je ne pourrais porter que ça!La tenue est vraiment irréprochable.
Comptoir sud pacifique est une de mes marques préférées, en vanille addict que je suis. Je regrette l'arrêt de certaines références de la marque.
Mmm... I think I'm becoming addicted ;)
I love the opening of this, it does have a strong resemblance to a vanilla-lipgloss I used to have but nicer imo. Sadly this doesn't last that long. The dry-down is a bit more raw, I can def pick up on the heliotrope, which to my nose/on my skin almost gives it a slightly a green/smoky smell, quite caramel-y too
Tempted to buy a fb
Ultra Gourmand hits the nail on the head for this fragrance! Yes, vanilla, caramel, milk, almond, cake batter- delicious! worlds better than warm vanilla sugar in my book and much more fragrant than a candle. i love gourmand fragrances and this one is amazing in light lasting power, initial intensity and all around yumminess! Well priced, too- the cheapest vanilla i have ever adored and one of the best comfort scents I have ever found in any price ranges.
Right after you spray it, it smells a lot like frosting and white cake and has horribly addictive top notes. When it dries down, it is more of a vanilla skin scent, subtle and creamy, no frosting, no cake, just a light vanilla/almond. At around $50 a bottle (or less on amazon/ebay) i can afford to spray all day and I assure you i take complete advantage of that. :) happy hunting!
Also on the comments on the edp being less powerful and yummy than the edt are completely true, although the vanilla extreme edp has a subtle scent with lasting power. First time I have found an edt more fragrant than an edp- but the rumors are true, EDT is stronger than EDP.
I adore Vanille Extreme To me it smells like a super sweet slice of vanilla sugar cake with a huge helping of vanilla icing. Imagine freshly baked vanilla sugar cookies, washed down with warm milk. That's what Vanille Extreme is! Heavenly fragrance!
this one i bought unsniffed-big mistake. it's like straight up vanilla extract- if you're into that i have a full bottle!
Okay, you know those candles that are supposed to smell like vanilla cake batter? That's what I get when it's first on - like it's actually trying to smell like real food, but isn't quite making it. Intensely sweet, foody vanilla, and somewhat synthetic - not a fresh vanilla. After a bit, the caramel comes out, and it goes from being cake smelling to more candy smelling. Unfortunately, there is something very bitter at the base, which I do not like. Absolutely gourmand, a solid vanilla. Folks around you will be looking for the dessert. If that's your thing, this is a good pick. I'm more of a vanilla musk kind of girl, which this isn't.
in my opinion its a very strong vanilla..not for all vanilla lovers out there..
i personally really like vanilla scents, but this is a bit too harsh for me..heliotrope is making it quite bitter.
if you are like me and like your vanilla scents sweeter, try vanilla vanille by the body shop. lives up to my expectations every time:-)
I can appreciate a perfume that smells exactly the way you think it should smell. I can appreciate Mr. Lions making a true-to-you vanilla that's different from all of these other cheap-smelling, gag-inducing vanilla perfumes. Unfortunately, this one is just not for me. It's too foody for my taste...but I'm sure that's how it's supposed to smell. I can handle this smell coming out of the oven, and occasionally from a candle...but not on my skin. If you're looking for gourmand, this would make a perfect option for you. I'm sure it's wonderful for layering and perfect for those who want a pure sweet vanilla. In fact, all of the Vanille series are good if you like sweet vanilla fragrances. They're warm and a few can even be considered somewhat uplifting. They're just too sweet on MY skin. On the up side, I have to admit that it was FUN trying all of them!
This is exactly what I was looking for, as it smells exactly like pure vanilla without any cloying notes to interfere with it. And my bf gave it to me :).
I ordered 4 Comptoir's unsniffed and this is the 1st one for me to try. Let me just say that I love vanilla! I've been on the search for a perfume that is almost 100% vanilla and THIS IS IT! It could stand to be more in-your-face but im not sure if the notes in this are capable of such feats. Its wears close to the skin and lasts considering how mellow the notes are. After an hour of wearing it has a VERY SLIGHT burnt smell that mixes with the warmth of the skin creating a vanilla swirl of heavenly goodness!! hehe :)
I think this vanilla is too much shugared. I can smell in it very delicate and milky-sweet vanilla under thick layer of the burnt slightly caramel.
