So, today I wanted to share my little experiment with a scent called “Vanilla” by Alyssa Ashley. I’ve been into fragrances lately, you know, trying to find that perfect one that just clicks with my vibe. I heard some buzz about this one, and figured, why not give it a whirl?
Getting Started
First off, I got my hands on a bottle of this Vanilla fragrance. The packaging was pretty simple, nothing too flashy, which I kinda liked. It’s got this understated elegance to it, you know? Anyway, I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype.
The First Sniff
I sprayed a bit on my wrist, and the first thing that hit me was this strong, rich vanilla smell. It’s not that overly sweet, candy-like vanilla you sometimes find. It reminded me of something, I think it is because I heard it before, that some people said that the smell of vanilla is like breast milk, and that makes us feel like babies.
Wearing It Out
I wore it throughout the day, just to see how it would develop. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This vanilla scent really stuck around. It’s pretty potent stuff. At times, I thought it smelled a bit like a vanilla cake. It’s not just straight-up vanilla; there’s a little something else in there. Like it’s a bit boozy at first.
Mixing and Matching
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. I read somewhere that this Vanilla fragrance is good for layering, to enhance other scents. So, I tried pairing it with a few other perfumes I had. One day, I mixed it with a citrusy one, Dolce & Gabbana, and the combo was surprisingly good! The vanilla added a nice, sweet, and warm base to the zesty citrus. I also have a bottle of VS Bare Vanilla, and I love its vanilla note. So, I tried it with TBS Vanilla Mist, it worked well, too!
Final Thoughts
After wearing it for a while and playing around with it, I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with Alyssa Ashley’s Vanilla. It’s a solid vanilla scent that’s not too overpowering but still has a presence. It’s simple, yeah, but sometimes that’s all you need. Plus, it’s great for layering, which is a big plus in my book. I also learned something new. I heard that vanilla is an aphrodisiac. Interesting, right?
- Pros: Long-lasting, rich vanilla scent, great for layering.
- Cons: Might be a bit too strong for some, it’s a bit boozy at first.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with Alyssa Ashley’s Vanilla. It’s definitely a keeper in my collection. If you’re into vanilla scents or looking for something to spice up your fragrance game, give this one a try. You might just fall in love with it like I did!
