Sylvaine Delacourte (2018)

This is nice! A peppery, dry, barely sweetened vanilla. I'm surprised that the note pyramid does not include tea, as I'm getting a very clear tea impression, which probably comes from a combination of other bitter and smokey notes. The clove is subtle and warm.

A vanilla with clove and bitter almond playing strong supporting roles. There's an obvious woody aromachemical in the opening of which I'm not fond. The dry down is Christmassy with clove, vanilla, and a dash of tangerine.

Vanilla grabs your attention from the start. Sprinkles of ground, black pepper and juicy clementine are next, sitting on the vanilla. Vanilla-infused flowers follow. Slight bits of bitter almond. Yes, vanilla is the star of the show. All the other notes are here for some added interest.

Spicier vanilla layer ends the show. Hints of clove and milky cardamom. The whole thing is rather creamy even if, the top seemed thinner to me. It's a great vanilla frag, if you need just one more of this ilk, to add to your collection. Just enough spice and floral to keep it interesting... After while, it resembles vanilla taffy candy.
