The name, Vanille Insensee, gives you a clue. It also probably gives those of you bored with vanilla a “been there done that” feeling. My initial reaction upon hearing the name made me wonder if vanilla could be something worth sniffing again. Asking perfumer Ralf Schwieger about his concept behind Vanille Insensee he said:

“Vanilla pods are black and strong, rather bitter than sweet: Vanille Insensée highlights the dark side of natural Vanilla in an association with oakwood and oakmoss, making it easily accessible for women and men. Freshness and transparency is key though, here provided by jasmine, coriander and lime.

It is difficult to work with Vanilla – the result can be easily cloying and heavy, especially in fruity interpretations. Here I tried to open another door, the black one, which gives access to the spicy floral heart.”

 The winner of the 30ml sample is:

CLAUDIA
