Vanille Roger & Gallet for women

A delightful tribute to the modest vanilla bean without the waxy fragrant candle quality that so many straight-up vanilla scents seem to project on my skin.

The citrus medley combined with pure white blossoms keep Vanille palatable throughout, and subtle sandalwood/patchouli ensure R&G's lovely creation stays neat.

A better behaved Vanilla Ice Cream scent on my skin best suited for days when I don't want to take myself too seriously.

I think I must be testing a totally different fragrance to everyone else!

It is so slight, thin & delicate that you could miss the citrus & bergamot top notes. The florals are waaaaay in the background, too. The only star of the show is the vanilla & it's a little too vanilla icecream for me. No added interest.

I know it's Eau de Cologne, but I do have to disagree about the staying power....on me it is very poor. In perfumless emergencies I have used good quality vanilla extract, or rubbed a vanilla pod over my arm, & achieved a far nicer, long-lasting depthier fragrance.

I'd buy the body cream to wear under other vanilla fragrances but I wouldn't buy this one.

This stuff is awesome. If you want to smell clean and fresh give it a try. It's a wonderful combination between a citrusy eau de cologne and the oriental warmth of vanilla. Not too citrusy, not too sweet, the perfect balance. And the lasting power is great for an eau de cologne. I don't agree at all with the "oriental" label on this scent. There's nothing oriental about it, not even the vanillic notes.

Can be used by both moms and kids.

The top notes slghtly citric, but to the heart at the drydown is just vanilla, not gourmand, maybe aromatic/wood/vanilla,very fragrant.
The stay power is excellent.
The box and the bottle are so nice in the neo-vintage style.
