When I got this sample I thought, "that might be alright". Boy was I wrong; it is AMAZING. I can't get over how good this juice smells. I definatly get a root beer accord with this. A*Men is in serious jeopardy of loosing its "signature sent" status with this one. It projects well, and I'm getting 10+ hours on my skin. Definitely gourmand, and I do see some similarities to A*Men in that sense, which might also explain the apparent love/hate relationship people will have with this one. If you like cinnamon, vanilla, and patchouli, this is worth every penny.

Chile Vanilli is a quite tamed nice vanilla perfume with a shy, vanilla-tea kinda personality. The opening is really muted cinnamon and a little bit creamy chai-tea type of vanilla hint. I’m trying the perfume oil, not sure is it because it’s in oil form, Chile Vanilli has nearly zero sillage, unless I put my nose really close to my skin, I cannot smell it. Somehow it smells quite similar to Starbuck’s coffee here in Australia (as in, not much coffee smell at all, in comparison with any coffee you can get from a Cafe), precisely a venti soya Cappuccino (so…basically, nearly no coffee smell due to the large amount of soy milk ratio to the espresso shot) with some nugmet and cinnamon powder(for the muted-cinnamon-y smell there).

Chile Vanilli is quite linear, the only change occurs with time is that, the cinnamon spicy scent gets rounder and more tamed, and the underline shy vanilla smell somehow finally got through and the whole perfume become a lovely mouth-watering vanilla kinda ice-cream concoction with a tiny bit spicy touch.

Lovely, delicious scent to try, and it’s a perfume you can put on without worrying much about it. Recommended to vanilla, ice cream, cinnamon lovers who want something with little sillage.

"Oriental Spicy" is exactly the right classification for this scent. When I was in high school, my best friend was Korean, and going into the Korean store with her smelled just like this. It is very spicy and pungent, but not unpleasantly so, with a strange thread of sweetness running underneath. As it dries down, the vanilla becomes stronger, but it still smells like exotic spices and bundles of dried, earthy, "who knows what." My sister smelled it on me and said, "Ooo, you have GOT to get a bottle of that." I'm not convinced it's for me, but it's pretty nice. Unusual for sure.
