Boum Vanille Sa Pomme d'Amour
Jeanne Arthes (2012)

This is a sweet perfume I enjoy; I'm very picky with sweet fragrances anymore. This reminds me of candy apples and pecan brittle. The vanilla base is what does it for me. Just a hint of musk, with the vanilla. This is very girly. Definitely a summer scent.

Gentle fruity vanilla.. like eating candy apples at the fair!

This is a very nice and subtle, sweet and warm fragrance. It's like a candy apple (or "toffee apple") in fragrance form. At the fairground, you can eat an apple on a stick dipped and covered in melted caramelised sugar. This fragrance I think tries to emulate that.

I get a very nice red apple note, surrounded by a boozy vanilla that is all around it. The vanilla is a little alcoholic and reminds me of pure vanilla extract (not so sweet, but borderline sour-sweet). All this gives a very unique "gourmand" quality to the fragrance.

The house of Jeanne Arthes is (in my experience) a house which always offers good, decent smelling fragrances for a cheap and affordable price. In fact, some of her perfumes often smell a lot more expensive than they actually are!

This is one that anyone can wear from 14 to 40. It's really inoffensive, pleasant, and people will like the sweetness I think because it's not so "generic". Like I said, the boozy vanilla mixed with the apple note is nice. Not so sugary sweet as to fit in with the countless "teen" fragrances. At least this one shows that it has grown up a little, even if it keeps it's "playful" vibe. A good buy for the money I think. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a sweet and playful vanilla with a little edge to it.
