Lavanila has launched Vanilla Blackberry, the latest in their series of “healthy” vanilla-based fragrances:
Seduce the senses with this provocative blend of ripe blackberry, juicy raspberry, velvet iris, and warm Madagascar vanilla. Crafted by master natural perfumers, this sexy fragrance is mouthwatering and irresistable [sic].
Lavanila Vanilla Blackberry is available in 10 ml rollerball ($19) or 50 ml spray ($58) Eau de Parfum. (via lavanila)
It would be great to find another blackberry I can wear. Trish McEvoy works fairly well, but Philosophy’s Falling in Love was a musty disaster on my skin. This just might be the product to tempt me into finally trying Lavanila.
So far they’ve been fine, if not all that exciting. Worth a shot!
This Vanilla Blackberry is not musty in the least. It is, however, very sweet. I actually found it really enjoyable, more so than any of the other Pure Vanilla line besides Vanilla Grapefruit.
Thanks!
I was wondering how long these last on the skin? Vanilla Grapefruit sounds lovely!
I tried out Vanilla Blackberry yesterday in Sephora and it lasted over 6 hours on me! My skin usually “eats” perfume so I was glad to get 6 hours out of this.
AS – have you tried Mistral Wild Blackberry? It’s an interesting scent, and not expensive.
Karin, no I haven’t even heard of it. How would you describe it? Off to go look it up. Thanks!
I really like Wild Blackberry by Mistral (http://www.mistralsoap.com/MEDPWB.html). I got it from Hampton Court (http://www.hamptonct.com/index.cgi/pid=3344/Mistral-Wild-Blackberry-Eau-de-Parfum.htm) Here is a review from Eaumg: http://www.eaumg.net/mistral-wild-blackberry-edp-perfume-review/.
Sorry, I just saw Karin’s comment. Anyway, I love Mistral’s WB because of the green notes in the beginning, its realistic blackberry scent, and because it is sweet, but not cloying. It smells delicious, but I would not really call it a gourmand.
