Friday Fragrance: For Those Vanilla Scented Perfume Lover Out There

seo-img-article

When I think about Kiehl’s, I think about that clean packaging and slightly pharmacy-like image associated with it. I also think about how the scents of their product is always ‘clean’ in a sense when they say it smells like “A,” it really smells like how it’s described-nothing too intense nor dramatic about the scent.

So when I heard Kiehl’s ‘Aromatic Blends’ line has fragrances too, I was giddy with excitement. And it’s only natural that out of the four different scents: Fig Leaf & Sage, Nashi Blossom & Pink Grapefruit, Orange Flower & Lychee and Vanilla & Cedarwood – I chose the last one, because, as you all know, I LOVE vanilla scented fragrances.

For years I have been obsessed with MAC MV 1 (the one in a black and white square bottle), solely because of its creamy vanilla scent that envelops the fragrance throughout. Boy, it was my first love for as long I rememberand it’s the only fragrance that I will always spray on. Since this fragrance wasn’t and still isn’t, available in Indonesia, and most only sell it in the 30ml size, it’s really hard to keep on re-purchasing from overseas. So I gave up my obsession with this fragrance and have since been searching for a similar creamy vanilla scent from various fragrances.

Enter the Kiehl’s Aromatic Blends in Vanilla & Cedarwood, where it’s said to be a total yin and yang, where the vanilla and cedarwood balance each other out. When I first spray it, I know I have found the ‘it vanilla fragrance’ that will replace my obsession toward MAC MV 1! The vanilla scent is not too overly sweet nor intense, it’s very creamy and a little bit smoky that lingers on as the raw and earthy cedarwood blooms for around 15 minutes or 30 minutes afterward. When the base note emerges, I just love the slightly warm feeling that envelops the vanilla scent. And because of it’s creamy and not intense scent, it’s the perfect ultra hot day fragrance.

The vanilla came from a fair-trade and sustainable sourcing from Uganda. Superior natural vanilla oil, cultivated from high quality vanilla. In other words, I pay for a bottle of perfume with ingredients that are ethically sourced, which makes this bottle even sweeter. 🙂

Kiehl’s Vanilla & Cedarwood fragrance is available in 30ml size, priced at IDR 265,000. Body lotion and shower gel are also available to complete your vanilla obsession.
