I love a good vanilla perfume, and 402 Guilty Vanilla by Bon Parfumeur is the perfect version. Don’t be mistaken, this is not a simple vanilla fragrance, it is complex and grown up; perfect for anyone who not only loves vanilla but enjoys and appreciates artistic fragrance. Love!
Let’s dive into the notes in this perfume.
Top notes: almond blossom, icing sugar, almond
Middle notes: vanilla, caramel, jasmine
Base notes: musk, benzion, sandalwood
This combination creates a beautiful, long lasting dry-down which offers a vanilla gourmand fragrance experience without being sweet and sticky. It is smooth, clean, fresh, and ideal. Love it!
Although I purchased the 30ml size, I can already tell I will need to order the larger size next time. I am going through this bottle rather quickly; it’s so good!
So, if you are looking for the perfect, complex vanilla, this is it!
Have you ever wondered how to sample fragrances online? It can be challenging to see a perfume online and wonder what it smells like. Should you commit to a full bottle by spending a few hundred dollars? Should you wait to check it out in person but finding the time to go to the mall doesn’t seem to happen? Yup. I’ve been there! While I know which fragrance notes I love in perfume, it can still be a gamble to order a full bottle without testing it first in person. Thankfully, Twisted Lily sells sample packs!
The sample packs online at Twisted Lily take the guesswork out of online fragrance shopping. They have tons of sample packs to choose from on their website! So, when Twisted Lily offered to send me their Best Sellers Sample Pack, I was thrilled! This sample pack features best sellers from their website, and some of them are niche, so they are hard to find in person and sample. This is the best way to test them out! Love!
Most of the fragrances in the pack are unisex, so it’s easy to use one pack for the whole family. We had fun testing the same fragrances on all of us and seeing how they smell different on different people, as well as the difference between how they smell on men vs. women. For example, Montale Parfums Arabians Tonka smelled warm and rich on me yet light and spicy on my husband. It’s amazing how one perfume can react differently on different people. Nevertheless, we both loved how it smelled! I believe my husband is now hinting I invest in a full bottle.
Although the Twisted Lily Best Sellers Sample Pack is sold at a modest price, there will be a coupon sent to you after purchase it which can be used towards a full bottle of the scent you fall in love with. So, it’s actually a great deal! Not to mention super convenient for online fragrance shopping. Love that!
The Twisted Lily Best Sellers Sample Pack includes both famous and niche fragrances which are best sellers at Twisted Lily. Here is a list of what I received: MAISON CRIVELLI Hibiscus Mahajad Extrait, VILHELM PARFUMERIE Poets of Berlin, JUSBOX PERFUMES Carioca Heart, MANCERA PARFUMS Amore Caffe, ROJA Elysium Parfum Cologne, MONTALE PARFUMS Arabians Tonka, FUGAZZI Angel Dust Extrait, CASAMORATI Dama Bianca, MATIERE PREMIERE Vanilla Powder, ETAT LIBRE D’ORANGE Story of Your Life, XERJOFF Torino 21, and MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Baccarat Rouge 540.
In addition to using this sample pack to test out fragrances before investing in a full bottle, the samples are perfect for travel. They are the perfect size to thrown in our clear bag of beauty products in our carry-on that we use to go through TSA. Love that!
So, if you have been wondering how to sample fragrances online to help you shop for fragrances online, this is the best way!
Thank you for stopping by, and I would love to hear which fragrance you sampled and loved!
I am in love with YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp for the spring and summer seasons! Possibly beyond! Although categorized as a fresh floral, this acts as a spicy floral when on the skin. I am in love!
YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp combines fragrance notes of palm-tree flower accord, lily flower accord, vanilla, and orange blossom accord. This creates a warm, spicy floral experience perfect for warm weather; and also moderate temps. Love!
Since this is an eau de parfum formula, YSL Libre Floral & Flames lasts about ten hours on my skin. The spicy scent ends sooner, around six hours, and then you are left with a beautiful warm floral fragrance for the remaining, roughly four hours.
There are a few sizes of the YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp fragrance available, including a travel size you can take on airplanes. Love that! I purchased the one-ounce bottle, which is pictured above.
So, if you are looking for a new spicy floral, this is the one! It will also make a fabulous gift. Love!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
