Try Tobacco Vanille
Thread: Dark vanilla |
I'm looking for a scent that smells of vanilla/tonka but in a dark and black kind of way. Sweet, warm, extremely dark. Do you have any suggestions? No leather/incense/oud please.
Thanks in advance.
Try Tobacco Vanille
If you're looking specifically for Vanilla, then Tobacco Vanille, may be abit too....tobacco-y :P
Still definitely worth a try!
I want to say Chergui, just because I love it so damn much, however it probably isn't quite what you're looking for.

I would venture to try SDV. This is a vanilla heavy scent.
I would not know which constitutes "dark."

Dior Homme Intense is co-dominated by a dark syrupy vanilla note along with the cocoa powder. The vanilla in this fragrance has a dark brown texture, not black.

It's a bitter coco fragrance; however, on my skin, it smells like a dark vanilla/chocolate swirl lol
My favorite fragrance with vanilla is Tobacco Vanille. The tobacco makes the vanilla dirty, which I love. Much better than a straight up boozy/vanilla fragrance such as SDV.

For a cheaper option, check out Armand Basi PH. The scent, just like the bottle, is very 'white and black.' Mostly vanilla/tonka, some light spices and florals, and dark guaiac wood.

Vanilla may not be the main player but Noir de Noir came to mind.
