'A Feline Vanilla with Iris and Safran fur. Neither girly nor food, Felanilla is an adult vanilla. Precious, generous, racy, Felanilla is a Nectar expressed by three absolutes in majesty in an oriental composition, gently spiced, brightened with a fruity wood under a red amber fire' from PG

Mmmmm, a non sweet vanilla, Iris, a bit of hay....I think there's some saffron in there too (I have no idea of how that smells, so I can't say for sure)

Lovely stuff!

.....And not a hint of sugary, cakey sweetness

This and Vanille from Mona di Orio made me fall in love with real vanilla

Sounds spectacular! I'm going to have to look into getting a sample split of this to try.

Man if I ever see this I might have to give it a try. I'm always looking for a good vanilla scent. As a male it's really difficult to find one that isn't overly sweet and reminiscent of younger women. I have found one that's sort of like if you dip to smoke cigar into vanilla extract but that's about it

It's really worth it, also check out the Mona di Orio one if you can, it's got a bitter orange, a non sweet woody vanilla and is so smooth with the sandalwood...it's also got a nice booziness to it, yum!

Which is the cigar and vanilla extract perfume you mention? I love cigar (in perfumes, not to smoke) and that sounds really interesting

It's this one. I absolutely adore it. Bought by pure chance at the recommendation of a shop owner in a strip mall

This is the really mad thing for me with perfumes when I look at the notes, I would never get 'cigar dipped in vanilla extract' from that ingredients list, it must be something with the Oud perhaps?

Possibly. It's a very smokey sweet vanilla to me. Kind of reminds me a bit of those cigarillos people used to smoke but more so
