I couldn’t agree more with your wonderful review. After collecting for so many years I don’t just buy to buy , I really only purchase something that is unique and moves me in some way.
Honestly, this is why I love sampling fragrances first but COVID got me all messed up there. All I do is blind-buy. I swear there was a time I sampled everything first. Great video! ✌🏽🥳❤️
Your review is spot on! I can't remember if I mentioned this on fragrantica or in a Facebook group, but it smells almost like a franken-scent in the sense that it feels like Dior took a bunch of enjoyable elements from different fragrances and put them into one bottle. It kind of morphs from the opening through the dry down and reminds me of a few fragrances along the way including Feve Delicieuse, Guerlain's SDV, Les Indemodables' Vanille Havane, and Xerjoff Lira. With vanilla being my absolute favorite note in all of perfumery, I have no shortage of vanilla fragrances in my collection lol. So I wholeheartedly agree that this new release feels a bit redundant considering what I already have. It's probably for the best seeing as I've given Dior enough of my money trying to scoop up bottles before the price increase hit earlier this year. But I'm hearing that there is one more release from this line scheduled for this year so I guess we'll see if that one's worth the money. Wonderful review!
I rolled my eyes at this when I saw it was being released and your review is as I expected. I’ve been really disappointed with Dior’a recent releases… didn’t even bother getting a decant off this one. Lol. Great review!
It has just been released in France too. I'm quite picky with vanilla and was a bit disappointed by Tobacolor and Eden-roc. So I'll wait to pass by the Dior counter to give it a snif 😅
Bummed at this review. I have been looking for a suitable replacement for my Guerlain Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin which is discontinued. Not sure if I'll take the plunge.
Great vid Tara& Thanks for your review . on this. I was interested to buy and will still check it out when I get back into the city, but not going to commit . Especially now that I have another Vanilla in A Vanilla Affair from Dua. The urge to add more vanillas isn’t necessary atm
I got a deluxe sample of this one from Dior. I had the same feelings about Vanilla Diorama. Nice but no need to add. I might just get Feve. Thanks for sharing 💕
Sawit todayin the store...Loved at firt sniff, bought and now I can tell the opening is what catches you, for me it is boozy in the opening and niche smelling but designerish in the dry down..this is crows pleaser. I am satisfied but the dry down is not wow
Was curious about this one, thanks for your review Tara, I personally think Dior have released too much this year, would be nicer to see them slow down and really bring out something incredible! 😎
Thanks, Ryan! Dior's used to be better but since they started releasing more frequently it seems the creativity has gone down. I really want to try more from YSLs line.
Sprayed my sample at 8 am it’s now 8pm and I’m not detecting on my skin but on my top it’s still there and pretty strong. I get why Tara wouldn’t buy it but as male I’m not used to vanilla also I wouldn’t want it to be too sweet otherwise I don’t think it would be unisex so to me this is perfect
Well, that's disappointing. Going to Saks on Thursday to sniff. It takes something pretty special in the "vanilla" category to make me bust out my cash!
I ordered it today and I can't wait to get it! I absolutely love vanilla and I could not pass this up
Awesome! Hope you love it!

That's a great way to go about it, Anna!

Same here. My collection is about 60% blind buys and I’m driving my husband up a wall lol 😂
As always, thank-you for your review and thoughts about this fragrance. 💗
Thanks, Heather!

Thanks for Sharing Tara. My dior rep just shipped me a sample of this and sauvage elixir. Let’s see what I get.
I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, Rudy!

Thanks, Amina! Yeah, I hope they slow down a bit and really put some effort into these releases in the future.

Thank you Tara for sharing, especially vanilla...back to the video
Another wonderful review Tara. You're my personal vanilla inspector. Auditor. Examiner. Critic? Scrutinizer. Babe. Appraiser. That's it. Appraiser. 😁
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, Doni! Glad to be of service!
I think it’s Villian Doni, she’s a Vanilla Villian 😁😁
@@DaVincisAlchemyst 🤣🤣🤣
My perfume girlfriend! 😄

Hi which is a good vanilla designer perfume?
Great vid Tara& Thanks for your review . on this. I was interested to buy and will still check it out when I get back into the city, but not going to commit . Especially now that I have another Vanilla in A Vanilla Affair from Dua. The urge to add more vanillas isn’t necessary atm
Great review. I agree with your assessment. Yet it is really good. And more of a comfort scent or date night. Or for blending 😎
I got a deluxe sample of this one from Dior. I had the same feelings about Vanilla Diorama. Nice but no need to add. I might just get Feve. Thanks for sharing 💕

My bank account is the perfect representation of that " I didn't hear no bell meme"
Because it's ready to take a walloping again if this is good 🤣
Lol! I think it survived this time.
Thanks for sharing . Wonderful review 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I was very tempted to blind buy this, but decided to be a good girl and order decant first 😀 kind of glad I did that based on your review
Yes! Definitely good you got a decant first. It's nice, but I know you have a lot of vanilla fragrances in your collection that I think are better.
Great review, Tara ❤❤❤ sounds nice but like you said, probably not a "run out and buy" since the longevity is so fleeting
Thanks, Joss!
Vanilla fragrances just don't do it for me, especially at those prices! Loved the review and next time I'm at Saks I'll give it a sniff.
Thanks, Jim! You know I love them but they still have to be special to spend that much.
Straight or curly. Pleasant either way
Thanks, Phil!

I was interested in this because of the rum/booz note...hm now I don't know...will wait for a mini sample available
You are a great reviewer. No doubt! Why does YSL's prive line seem to always deliver, yet Dior's and Chanel's seem to be just ok ? 🙃
Thanks, Ryan! Dior's used to be better but since they started releasing more frequently it seems the creativity has gone down. I really want to try more from YSLs line.
@@Olfactofiles agreed! Have you tried Caftan and/or Velours ? I will gladly send you samples
I can always count on your honest review, your body language says it all🙏🙏🙏. Stay fabulous😘😘😘
Great review,, aroma from heaven
Saw this as I perused the new eyeshadow palettes. So glad for your review to keep me from FOMO 😘
This sounds like something I would enjoy
Could you please review Bvlgari Omani Crystalline? I’d be very interested in hearing your opinion.
Thanks for this Tara I was just about to blind buy it 😅
This woman is crazy, Vanilla Diorama is the best of the collection
Thanks Tara!! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Excellent job Tara!
Thanks, Dave!
Is it similar to Grand Soir?
Really want to sample but not as hyped about it anymore.
If you get a chance definitely try it but yeah, didn't blow me away at all.
Yes but how’s the Vanlla?………
Hi there! Clicked, liked now let me watch this video awesome video!!🤗
Thank you so much, Nadia!
Great review,sounds interesting
Thank you!
Somehow I feel it's reached the point they're just stamping things and throwing them out there 40 shades of vanilla
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean! I hope they step up their game in the future.
You are so articulate.
Nice one Tara! Sounds like one I could skip at this stage 🤗
Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤ I was really waiting for this review 😊 Does it lean masculine or feminine ? Or it is perfectly unisex 🤪
Thanks! I'd say this one is pretty perfectly unisex.
This sounds really good Tara. On your skin, does it wear better?
Not really, sadly. It's very light. Smells nice but nothing I'm rushing out to buy.
Sprayed my sample at 8 am it’s now 8pm and I’m not detecting on my skin but on my top it’s still there and pretty strong. I get why Tara wouldn’t buy it but as male I’m not used to vanilla also I wouldn’t want it to be too sweet otherwise I don’t think it would be unisex so to me this is perfect
Didn't wow me either. It was suuuper spicy on my skin. Very Christmasy.
Thanks for sharing hun
Great review Tara. This sounds so uninspired.
Yeah, that's kind of how it feels, Seun. Thanks!
I got a 10 ml decant of tobacolor and I love it but for some reason it’s not sold in Canada
Yeah I heard that. Eugen from U Smells Good had to have someone send him a bottle from the states.
Well, that's disappointing. Going to Saks on Thursday to sniff. It takes something pretty special in the "vanilla" category to make me bust out my cash!
Yep! I agree! This smells really nice, but that's it. Not enough to get me to spend that amount of money.
I blind bought it today 😬
I have a decant of this on it’s way
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Will you or won’t you save me $350?!?! Lol!!!
🤣🤣🤣 I will!
I thing you lose some weight , you look awesome . Keep going
Thanks, Jorge
