Merry Christmas/SOTD: Vanilla Powder by Matiere Premiere

🔥

Merry Christmas BOS. First and foremost I want to give thanks for God for providing abundant blessing to my family and me. One of those blessing is this Brotherhood where I have developed some amazing friendships and connections with so many people who have the same passion for fragrance. I am truly a blessed man!

Today's morning SODT is Vanilla Powder. The opening is a powdery and slightly subtle Coconut scent. At 15 minutes, I am starting to pick up some of the Vanilla notes. This is not an overwhelmingly sweet vanilla, but more of a creamy vanilla. At 30 minutes the scent has not changed much since the 15 minute mark, but this is definitely a soft and subtle fragrance. At the 60 minute wear and dry down, this fragrance is a beautiful blend of a creamy/powdery Vanilla with a tinge of sweetness from the Coconut and a balance of soft woods and Musk. Not overpowering but an elegant scent that simply states "I don't need to overwhelm you with scent to make my presence known!"

Performance. The projection of this fragrance is fair at best. It sits close to the skin and at I am only getting about a 12" scent bubble for about 90 minutes. The sillage is also fair with a slightly better scent trail of 18" for about an hour. Longevity is actually OK on my skin as I am getting about 4 to 5 hours as a skin scent.
