I get a very sweet custardy vanilla in this - I find it very desserty - and then immediately afteward this rank, unwashed armpit note blooms. I don't know what it is (possibly gaiac wood?), but I get it in other fragrances too, and it doesn't work for me at all. It's fairly linear from there as it slowly fades in intensity. It would be very pleasant but for the sweatiness. I usually do well with Annick Goutals, but this one I can pass by.

Very powdery. Not very vanilla. It lingers on my skin as a completely non-gourmande scent. Floral powder with some musk towards the end of the fragrance's life on my skin (which is a moderate--3-4 hours). As a vanilla fan this not nearly enough 'Exquisite Vanilla.'

Starts as a translucent yet comforting vanilla scent, sophisticated and nice. Unfortunately Vanille Exquise develops an unpleasant note an my skin which is hard to describe for me: something generic, midway between cedar and hairspray. The longer the scent is on my skin, the stronger this note becomes until it takes over the pleasant vanilla scent.

I think this vanilla smells HOT, like Meil de Bois hot...like wood in a sauna. I really like the dry take on vanilla. There are plenty of scents out there that are thick and rich with vanilla. This is like as if my skin were vanilla incense. Divine!!!

Vanille Exquise is the loveliest amber vanilla I've smelled! So very "Shalimarish" ~ which is exactly what makes it sophisticated. At first, the vanilla does seem a bit thin (as far as vanillas go) but after a short time, the subtle amber notes warm on the skin, and combine exquisitely! It does wear close to the skin, and fade rather quickly, but for the time it's alive ~ it's heaven!

Opens with dry, light, powdery vanilla, quite pleasant, then, well...nothing. On my skin at least, this just faded away quickly without developing at all. Not unpleasant, but disappointing.
