Yes, VBO is sweeter, but not overly so. It's very much a real or true warm vanilla highlighted by woods and bourbon instead of a Yankee Candle-like cloying vanilla. Most commentary I've read about the house has VBO as the standout, but right now I'm really impressed with PRO.

I've also got some fragrances coming from Sixteen92, an indie house which Luca Turin has given some positive review. Pretty anxious to try those.

I've heard that the Serge Lutens line has suffered from reformulation. Makes me not sure how much I want to try them out anymore.

VBO sounds like a very nice vanilla fragrance. I was just thinking the other day that I actually don't have any vanilla-dominant perfumes in my collection.

I've heard of Sixteen92 but don't know much about their fragrances.

As for Serge Lutens, I'm sad about the reformulations. With regard to Ambre Sultan, I remember getting quite a bit of bay leaf or some such note a few years ago, and it was also very rich and potent. I don't get quite as much of that bay leaf note now and overall, it feels a bit toned down in the newer formulation, but it's still close enough to the original version of Ambre Sultan. Overall, I like it a lot and I think I will get a full bottle when I finish my decant. :biggrin:

By Rosie Jane/Rosie

Got a sample of this recently and really am loving it! Part of it reminds me of the original Stella McCartney “Stella” but like, well after drydown when it wasn’t as strong and headachy.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Stella but it’s so strong that I can only wear it in Winter. Maybe Rosie could be my warmer weather rose fragrance... I may spring for the full bottle or maybe the fragrance oil soon!
