Sublime Vanille Creed for women and men

Sublime Vanille always puts a smile on my face each time I wear it. It opens with creamy vanilla and a burst of lemon. The lemon is not screechy or astringent; rather, it is sweet without being sugary. As the scent develops, the lemon softens and the vanilla gets creamier, but somehow the vanilla remains uplifting and never veers into candy territory. When I wear Sublime Vanille to work, my co-worker always inhales deeply and says, "you smell so heavenly". It is true that this scent has a simple composition, but there is something about this simplicity that I find immensely wearable...and addicting! I find myself craving it everyday and not wanting to wear anything else. This scent is definitely full bottle worthy for me, but unfortunately, I cannot afford the $575 price tag. It is very reasonably priced if you break it down per ml or per ounce, but I just cannot afford to buy that much juice at one time. I emailed Creed asking that they make this scent available in a smaller, more practical sized bottle, so I hope they consider it.

Sillage and lasting power are actually very good on me. However, I admit that the very first time I ever sampled it, I could not smell it. I think my nose was burnt out from over-sampling :op I have a decant and use two sprays and I'm good for 6-8 hours, depending on how humid it is.

I love this scent for its modesty - it is such a pleasure to wear :o)

P.S. If anyone is interested in swapping their partial bottle for a $200 Neiman Marcus gift card and a $100 Visa gift card, please send me a private message. I also have a half full bottle of Profumum Vanitas to offer.

Io personalmente lo adoro e nn riesco a rinuncuarci , è parte di me ogni giorno. Ma come farò quando finirò i miei ml a disposizione? Costa veramente tanto e nn è persistente. Quindi , o metteranno in commercio anche la crema per il corpo o renderanno la fragranza piu' persistente, altrimenti ne farò a meno . Purtroppo.

If heaven were a bottle,this would hold the essence of angels!The Tahitian and bourbon vanilla mix so well,not overpowering, light and airy.I get little whiffs of it during the day, and it makes me smile.Alas,the price reaches the heavens as well,but then,this is the vanilla scent, all other vanilla scents aspire to be.

Waaaay too expensive, but it smells heavenly.

Creed Sublime Vanille is a very rich comforting scent that borders on gourmand.

It opens with a silky caramelized bourbon vanilla note that is soft and smooth, and there is a citrus note that stands behind the vanilla in the opening which prevents it from being an overly extreme, uncut vanilla.

As it dries down, a whisper of orchid starts to make itself heard, and it ends with a lovely sweet and musky vanilla dry down.

The smoothness of the blend of the vanilla note with the other notes is a little reminiscent of Serge Lutens' Un Bois Vanille... they both have that same caramelized vanillic sweetness on my skin, but SV has a tangy tartness that is lacking in the Lutens.

I really love this rich luxurious vanilla fragrance, although I really don't love the price, especially as I find it doesn't last all that long and has quite poor sillage. But the bottle is stunning, and an aesthetic asset to any dresser.

Overall, it's a great scent in terms of its aroma, but it falls down in terms of value for what you get (very little sillage and poor lasting power at a high price).

If Creed could improve this scent's lasting power and if it was a little stronger with better sillage, then I would repurchase without a doubt, because it is a beautiful fragrance.

Soft, sublime vanilla scent. Wraps close to your body.

It is fine, but I have to agree with other reviewers, it is really boring. Easy to like, easy to create I think...

A radiant, albeit boring take on vanilla. The boozy thickness of the central accord is flanked by white floral notes and a hint of citrus and spice. It's nice enough and totally unisex, but not something I would wear. Surprisingly heavy for a Creed.

How do you take your … vanilla? Strong and heady? Gourmand? With spices? Incenses? With Chocolate? Flowers? Smoky?

It is just a question of taste. But, if you like it light with a touch of lemon and orange and a musky sensuous orchid in the dry down, this should be your choice. It has some similarities with Shalimar Legere. One plays with the jasmine note, the other one with the orchid notes.


It will not make the list for the best vanillas, classics, masterpieces, etc. but this is a refined fragrance made with quality ingredients. Without any doubts.
I love the Vanilla Bourbon choice here. It adds richness without being heavy.

It has a soft sillage that will satisfy just your pleasure and bother nobody else around you. Nothing harsh, no cheap synthetics. Not too sweet. Not too floral. Not too dark. After 4 hours it is still here.

If it wasn’t so expensive I would recommend it to everybody. ☺

7.9/10

Nothing special, almost couldnt smell it at all. The price is unreasonable, too, 0 lasting power. Tihota is worlds better also Vaniglia del Madagascar. I would have spent the money for a rich, beautiful, long lasting vanilla but this isn't it.

This is a magnificent fragrance. It smells wonderful, sophisticated, and stays close to the skin. Vanilla and a touch of lemon carry it in the air. There is a beautiful wedding cake scent to it that is absolutely scrumptious. At times it smells like a cooled creme brûlée. I would dare say that this marks an important transition of Olivier Creed and his son Edwin as they collaborated on the creation of this scent. It does have silage, as I was complemented on the scent about 6 hours after I first put it on in the morning. Simply a gorgeous fragrance.

Deceptively simple but loaded with quality vanilla. Fine citrus on top, and then top quality orchid flower mixed in with some bourbon vanilla. Make no mistake if you have experience with the actual materials, this fragrance is all about orchid flower+bourbon vanilla, and it lasts a good 4-5 hours although sillage is low. If you are used to harsh synthetic ethy-vanillin dominated vanilla fragrances, you won't "get" this. Its clear quality vanilla notes are void of sugary tones and make for a perfect casual wear.

Gorgeous. So simple and yet all the right elements to make the perfect classically clean vanilla scent.

I SOOOO wanted to love this. Anything with LIME in it. I was fooling myself because I am not a fan of vanilla scents ( I can never get beyond the vanilla musk of my youth ). I shall never give up on creed but this is not one for me.

I tested this fragrance and i honestly could barely smell it it was that light. I love vanilla, but for $475 a bottle one squirt should be enough to last for hours and certainly you should be able to at least smell it on your skin. There are much cheaper alternatives out there for a vanilla scent..especially one quite this bland.

OMG I love this. I get a nice mixture of lime and vanilla, then it simmers down to a pleasant and sweet vanilla. I just knew I would like this perfume!

Majestic bliss.I wish I could afford it.
