Trish McEvoy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk Trish McEvoy for women

Remember the dolls in 70s: Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Dumpling and Blueberry Muffin? Well, this perfume is definitely the scent used for Blueberry Muffin Doll. This scent is my "mommy perfume" which I use to be around the babies because it is light, sweet, happy and comforting. I don't think this is particularly sexy smell.

This is a beautiful scent. I think it is a little too similar to the Philosophy Falling In Love perfume, though. I already have that one, and since they are almost exact, I will stay with the Philosophy one because it is much less expensive and I already own it.

I now have both versions of Trish McEvoy No.9 Blackberry & Vanilla and believe me they are sooooo very different. I have the original Blackberry & Vanilla and NOW have the Blackberry & Vanilla Sexy and love them both. But to be totally honest I do prefer the latest version of the Sexy. Yes they both have the gorgeous tooty fruity smell with the blackberry and vanilla (and BTW men seem to love the smell of blackberry and vanilla this I found first off a over 5 years ago when wearing Philosophy Falling in love (still love that)and then when they added Unconditional Love which is similar but a bit more musky! I had guys saying they wanted to eat me!!! I think they meant that in a good way? Lol! So it defo became my evening out perfume especially when i'm single (giving my hints away now! Lol)) Anyway getting back to this! Lol! Both have the lovely Blackberry and Vanilla fragrance that can be worn day and night and is definitely NOT offensive and strong during the day. But I find that the Sexy one is stronger and has a slightly more musky smell and definitely lasts longer during the day in a warm office. The reason also for me thinking it lasts longer is there is a slight change to the fragrance after a few hours and it gets slightly softer and smells like the Original No.9 so that could be the reason I can still smell it slightly after a 8hr day at work but when I wear the original after about 4/5 hrs can hardly smell the perfume but also that could be because my nose has got used to the fragrance but am not sure because if I spray it again I can smell the original again but I suppose that could also be because it is the notes being activated/woken up by my nose because they are stronger again and you get that original burst? Maybe I should ask my workmates if they can still smell it? Lol! But TBH out of the 2 (and don't get me wrong I love them both) the No.9 Sexy is stronger and longer lasting and has a slightly more sensual seductive smell (which is prob why it is called sexy? Doh me! Lol)and also why the Sexy No.9 is slightly more expensive than the Original No.9 as it is longer lasting also? But they are both gorgeus fragrances that every female should own as they both lift your spirits and make you feel happy and are slightly playful also. I would say this perfume is also suitable for any age from 16-100 years old because of the playful, sensual, uplifting notes. But just be aware you will have men loving the fragrance and smelling you. Men just seem to love the mix of blackberry, vanilla and subtle musk (maybe it's the food/sweets entity? But i'm not complaining! Lol)

I almost missed out on this gentle wonder of a scent. It was the word "blackberry" in the title that put me off. Truth be told, I am nauseated by the fruity trend in modern perfumes. P-tooey to peach. Yuck, no! double yuck to melon. Blackberry seemed in that same revolting catagory.

Was I wrong! This juice is luscious. A Madagascar vanilla is married to a fresh natural blackberry scent - perfectly tempered by musk. This lovely mix does not have the candy quality of some vanillas nor the tangy scent of fake fruit flavor. The musk is delicate, not masculine. The effect is peaceful and feminine.

This fragrance is so comforting a cocoon I wear it to bed. It is a exquisite swirl of scent that I wear to boring meetings or stressful encounters. With its low sillage, I am the sole beneficiary of its quiet lovliness. Somehow, it strengthens me. Wow.

Blackberry & Vanilla Musk...

I bought a bottle in the middle of summer and I did not like this Blackberry & Vanilla Musk at all. It was a scent of nothingness on my skin when the weather was hot and humid out side.

Lo & Behold .. When air was crisp and cold. Blackberry & Vanilla Musk turned into something scrumptious and lovely.

My nose caught bursts and bursts of sweet & tart black and blue berries. Vanilla was transparent and pretty. Musk was light and sensual. The 3 main compositions were mixed in a perfect ratio.

Blackberry & Vanilla Musk reminded me of the smell of frozen fruit slush. Mixing crushed ice with frozen blackberries and a tad of vanilla flavored syrup in a blender. The scent is lightly sweet, cold, and delightful.

Lasted 5+ hours on my skin but stayed close. I like it very much. My new winter perfume .. I found you

:o)

When I first spray it's Lemon and blueberry on me... WONDERFUL first thing in the morning - fresh and a breath of spring. As it develops the vanilla kicks in and it does become sweeter.

I know lemon is not listed.

I know blueberry is not listed...

I know it's my chemistry.

That said... I LOVE it. It is unusual and completely different from anything I usually wear.

I also love it layered with Trish McEvoy's Trish which brings Tonka Bean and Almond to this olfactory feast... The result: Delicious.

A blackberry/cotton candy mess! I had high hopes considering i love blackberry and vanilla, but this did not feel fresh at all.

Delightful!
This fragrance leads with a very strong blackberry and dries to a soft warm fruity/spicy vanilla. It's initially very similar (unsurprisingly) to L'artisan's Mure et Musk, but as the Mure et Musk retains it's blackberry scent all the way through, this fragrance ends up slightly gingery.
I doubt I'll buy it soon as it so similar to those I already have but it's definitely a future purchase.
I think it's a bed fragrance, both sensual and feminine and ultimately comforting.

i agree with all the comments. i went through a number of bottles of perfume + body cream+ body lotion , plus candles and soaps in the same blackburry/vanilla scent....BUT - only when i am in lust or in love.... Sorry for confession... It works miracles on men, this is my NUMBER 1 armour from my fragrance collection in love-matters.... So girls, if u want a great night with ur man-this perfume will do half the job for u !!! :-)) so u ll just lay back and enjoy! :-))

This has been my signature scent for years and also my boyfriend's favorite! Blackberry is my favorite fruit and the smell of it makes me salivate. Reminds me of the pie I bake every summer after picking fresh sun kissed berries, then eating a warm slice with some vanilla ice cream!! The rose and musk uniquely sexes up the scent; imagine eating that delicious pie in floral lace and a lot of sensual finger licking....lol!! I'm not usually a fan of vanilla but the tartness of the blackberry balances it to the perfect amount of sweet. Don't know anyone that doesn't like this scent and have had many friends purchase it right after smelling mine. I'd recommend it for all ages and all seasons... although the musk may be a bit too strong on hot days for some.

LOVE Trish McEvoy 9 and Trish McEvoy Sexy 9. Longevity is about 2 hurs on me

Trish McEvoy 9 BLACKBERRY & VANILLA MUSK is a fresh blackberry scent with a touch of vanilla and a clean musk base. Very natural smelling and pleasing to the nose, albeit not at all profound. The longevity is not very good, and the sillage pretty low. I used more than one-third of my 6 ml roller ball just to test this today. Very light for an alleged edp.

SEXY 9 BLACKBERRY & VANILLA MUSK, a flanker or special edition (not sure which, since they came together in a roller ball set...) throws some spices into the composition of the original to ramp up the "sexy" factor, and I think that it does just a touch. I believe that nutmeg is one of the spices, and there may also be a touch of amber here.

I can recommend both of these creations to those looking specifically for a perfume with a dominant blackberry note. The first one is very clean and uncluttered; the second has some spiciness and a bit more complexity.

Oh, I just love it! I agree with all comments below - delicately sweet, feminine; flirty and young, but somehow deep and mature at the same time. It reminds me Christmas, family gathering, candles, it brings smile to my face!

Yeah very close to the real smell of blackberry you can get...it stays sweet the whole time it is on the skin and has very long staying power....the smell is not complex ..it is pretty much a straight forward blackberry vanilla scent from beginning to end.

This is such a pretty, feminine fragrance - it is so girly, but definitely NOT for little girls, if that makes any sense! The blackberry and white rose notes are flirty and young, but with the musk and vanilla, it has a sensuality at its heart too that gives it depth of character that puts this perfume head and shoulders above pretty much every other "fruity floral" fragrances out there. Perfect for a woman of any age! Much better than its next closest imitator, Philosophy's Falling in Love. This is much more deep and complex, sort of like a young vs. mature red wine - same creature but one is so much better than the other!!!

Trish McEvoy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk is one of the best vanilla scents out there. This is not overly sweet and it is not synthetic smelling. Lasts 8+ hours on my skin.

I highly recommend this to all lovers of sweet or vanilla fragrances.

After this dries, it has one of the most authentic blackberry fragrances I have encountered. It smells like how ripe blackberries warmed in the sun taste. After 30 minutes or so, the musk kicks in and it smells more like warm blackberry pie, sugary with a little lemon rind. I love it!
