Raw Vanilla Coty for men

While Raw Vanilla smells great on men, it is also an excellent scent for women who want to wear a vanilla perfume, but do not want to smell like a mall rat or a stripper!

Yummy

Raw Vanilla opens with crisp masculine cedar-like woods and green crisp leaves, but quickly settles to a rich deep natural vanilla. Totally wearable for male or female. Longevity is over 12 hours. Projection is moderate throughout wearing.
Raw Vanilla is excellent for blending with other scents also, to make them last longer.

I went on my very first date with my best guy friend in February of 1998. The cologne he was wearing was Raw Vanilla. I just remember that he smelled SOOO good! I've never owned a bottle, but whenever I'm at the store, I'll stop & smell it, and it takes me right back to that night! That is one of the main reasons I love fragrances so much... because of the powerful memories it evokes!

This stuff is damn good for the price. It's certainly not one of my favorites, but I challenge you to find a better vanilla for as cheap as this. It's a very light, creamy, Guerlain-esque vanilla (though nowhere near as refined as the Guerlinade), with a slight hint of some abrasiveness (think drying paint), but overall very well done, with excellent sillage and longevity. It also has a very smooth yet subtle coconut sort of vibe, which makes it a good choice for summer nights.

This also is totally unisex; no gender discrimination here. If you're a fan of vanilla, check this one out, although be aware that most of the bottles for sale are splash bottles, so unless you're lucky enough to find a vapo bottle, then you might need to get decants ready.

this is a girls review. I bought this online for $8 not realizing it was a splash, like seriously why a splash? like what am i supposed to with this drink it? add it to the bath? seriously just give us a sprayer. anyway now I have to go online and buy somthing to put it in that sprays. i did dab a little on me and i do like the smells, it somehow smells like pinneapple, vanilla and musk to me. Just dang it I want to spray it. I also love anything with juniper berries in it but i can't seem to smell them in this :-/ but thats ok, still wonderful

It reminds me of The one, by D&G. Of course the latter is much spicier and evolves a lot on the skin. But The One was clearly inspired by this gem. Raw Vanilla, as the name says, is pretty raw, simple, unique. Great value.

I had a boyfriend a few years back who use to wear this. Now I wear it myself from time to time. Nice warm, casual scent- I like to wear it during fun, laid back nights out with friends.

Love this sweet, woody vanilla as much on myself as on the BF. He limits to home wear (for my benefit) as he thinks it too feminine for him to wear to work. At its best about an hour after application when it becomes really soft and smooth. Good staying power and great value.

I first smelled it in 2009, and yes it still lingers on my mind. I want it so bad and had a headache googling it out only to realise it was a cotty product. The only thing I could remember was vanilla essence for men and the bottle desing and cannot believe that it is of the price quoted. I gots to have it else my life would not be complete

Had it for a week now (bought it for my husband) and I absolutely love it! At first is very masculine (on my skin), but after 10 minutes it dries to a scent that I really enjoy and would like to bathe in it. Usually I don't like heavy, sweet fragrances, but this one is very vanilla and very light :D Perfect unisex scent for all year around!

This is an awesome underrated unisex marvel.I have a splash bottle, but I decanted some in a spray vial and it is easier to appreciate it this way. The green top notes are very well balanced and bamboo does not have an artificial feeling. It dries down to a pleasant, natural scent that slightly reminds me of Bulgari Black - no rubber, though. Very nice vanilla/ lavender (sage?) for ladies and gentlemen - it really, really should be sold as unisex.

this is, as i read in a basenotes review, a wonderful scent for blending.

i use it with arden sandalwood AND jovan musk. they're nice together and within ten minutes of applying, there's a lively yet grounding mix happening.

Very under rated scent! Nice Price!
Cool minimal bottle design!

Goes on a fantastic crisp, green scent, drying to a great sandalwood vanilla. Unfortunately, on my sweet-amplyfying skin, it becomes murky at the end. It's still nice, but the murky sandalwood/vanilla isn't what I really care for. Understandably, this is a mens' scent on a woman's skin, but I do wear mens' scents sometimes. This one just doesn't work out for me.

I was wearing this one about 10years ago. The one ingredient that really stand out was the Bamboo. This is a masculine frag that has a very good longevity. Woman love this scent, and it can be worn at anytime.

gotto say this is a great scent for the price and i love the way they blended all the notes this is totally wearable and long lasting and the vanilla is subtle so it does not make this scent offputting
