    thank you so much! I have chocolate greedy and love it so based on your review I think I made the right choice and I don’t think I need the others. I might just get kayali vanilla 28 as my straight up vanilla it seems like it’s right up my alley.

      @@M00NIMA I am not sure to be honest, it is sold out a lot over here at the moment too! It's definitely at it's height in popularity I think which is why it's so widely out of stock but I am sure they should be stocked back up soon. You can only find them at Sephora here as well so it's pretty limited. I, myself am still waiting for the kayali musk and elixir to come back in stock. I definitely suggest you put yourself on the mailing list for when it comes back in stock - sometimes that's the only way you can even purchase a super hyped perfume it seems these days..

    For me:
    Vanilla Absolu- mostly vanilla, creamy, cookie (reminds me of the vanilla cream my mum used to add in cakes)
    Chocolate greedy- exactly like chocolate cookies, with Vanilla Absolu drydown
    Vanilla cake- Vanilla ice cream
    Sweet Vanilla- a more summery version of these with a sweet citrusy note, which feels like lemon with apricot (smells exactly like a fruity candy or bubblegum)
    All are incredible and definitely worth trying!

    Love Sweet Vanilla and Chocolate Greedy. Montale Sweet Vanilla smells similar to Mancera Velvet Vanilla. Sweet Vanilla is slightly sweeter, but somehow less cloying and easier to wear.

    • @CharlotteRossx
      @CharlotteRossx  3 роки тому +1

      Woah! Thank you for that J - I totally get what you mean by "somehow less cloying and easier to wear" - it helps me imagine it better. I find that Mancera is generally sharper and potentially more cloying in general and Montale's versions seem to be more fluffy less astringent or something. Thank you so much for your input and for watching 🤗💕

    I don't have any Montale vanilla yet...only have Mancera Velvet Vanilla which of course is Tuberose heavy and isn't really just a vanilla. But I'm planning on ordering lots of samples this year from both Montale and Mancera. They make sooo many, I don't want to have to keep blind buying...lol. For Montale, I only have Intense Cafe and Intense Tiare. Mancera I have Holidays, Wild Cherry, Wild Python and Velvet Vanilla. After so many blind buys last year, I need to get more strategic so that's why I'll be sampling more.

    • @CharlotteRossx
      @CharlotteRossx  3 роки тому

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these. This is the very reason that I don't (blind) buy any montales or manceras without a strong recommendation. i know they share ingredients as sister companies, plus I went to sniff some montales and at least 5 of them smelled a like. Many are too similar to warrant purchases.

The dry down smelt like there was an odd note hiding in between all the gourmand notes where it didnt belong!! Ill try it again once its sat for a while ive heard that can change the way it dries down

      Hi Kirsty! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Vanilla Cake here. Since I made this video I’ve had even more experience with it and I totally know what you mean and are talking about. Personally I feel like it comes down to the meringue/almond being overpowering and potentially clashing with the other notes. I still like it but it’s not my favourite - and I consider it to be more of an almond/meringue literal gourmand rather than a vanilla perfume. If you’re dealing with nausea and/or upset stomach I absolutely see how this could be a very challenging or cloying scent for you right now, so definitely give it some time and try it when you’ve adjusted to meds or feel better! ♥️

    I got a couple of sample sets from Montale and I am so glad I did before committing money to a bottle of any of them. I thought I was going to love all the famous/well known ones, but I didn't, and instead fell for slightly more masculine ones like: Patchouli Leaves, Full Incense, Re Vetiver, licorice-heavy Aoud Greedy etc. Of all of the scents I go, I thought Chocolate Greedy was a waste of time cos it smelled *too* much like straight-up dark chocolate to be interesting, and I despised Vanilla Cake, I think it's disgusting and smells SO artificial and "yellow".

      Hi Brookliyn! I totally agree on your interpretation of Vanilla Cake. After spending more time with it I do think it's predominantly an almond scent - and I definitely agree that it can feel lacking when it's just pure gourmand - I like a little woods or musks and florals to balance it out too. 👌🏼🥰 Thank YOU so much for sharing your thoughts. What a pleasure to have you here, all the way from Saudi Arabia! 😍

    • @CharlotteRossx
      @CharlotteRossx  3 роки тому +4

      I've been testing them side by side right now and I have to tell you, both Vanille Absolu and Vanilla Cake could pass for a vanilla cookie scent, but, I would say Vanille Absolue is more homemade cookies and Vanilla Cake is more store-bought boxed cookies. Both good but a different vibe! Someone commented that Vanilla Cake smells like soft serve vanilla ice cream to them and I would agree on that interpretation. That said, when I looked up Chrismas Cookies from BBW (which I've never smelled! So I tried to imagine it), it looks closer note-wise to Vanilla Cake. Anyway, ultimately, I would go for Vanille Absolu for that homebaked cookie scent. I would love to know anyone else's thoughts too!
