MIX:BAR Vanilla Bourbon Perfume for Women + Men - Vanilla Bean, Sandalwood, Jasmine + Bergamot, Amber Fragrance Notes - Smokey Vanilla Scented Eau de Parfum Spray Cologne - Hair Mist Perfume - 1.7oz

This perfume smells exactly like the Dossier formulation for their Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille dupe, like one to one. I own the Dossier version in addition to this vanilla bourbon and can confirm they're identical with zero differences. So if you don't want to spend 30 dollars plus shipping on the Dossier one (and don't want to drop over 200+ on the Tom Ford) just buy this because it's literally the same thing. The projection and power of the scent is incredible, I only sprayed a single spray on my wrist this afternoon before going out yet everyone has commented on it or asked what I'm wearing because it's that powerful so I would say you don't need to spray much for it to be effective. It also dries down much faster than other perfumes in my collection which is a plus if you're impatient like me and don't like waiting for dry down/hate oil based perfumes that never dry. The longevity is also impressive, it doesn't lose its oomph even after a few hours; it still smells like I just sprayed my wrist five minutes ago despite it being several hours ago now. Just buy it if you're reading reviews and debating on the purchase, you won't be disappointed. I haven't smelled any of the so called "sickly sweet childish vanilla" notes other reviews mentioned either. It smells very adult, slightly seductive, and complex while also being a realistic daily scent. I would also describe it as more unisex than strictly as a perfume for women because of those smokey/tobacco notes, my boyfriend made the comment that it was a scent he would wear regardless of the bottle specifying women. One thing to note is that it is not a boozey vanilla like Angels Share by Killian is. To label it bourbon is extremely incorrect to me, and possibly why some on here have said it gave them a headache and wasn't at all what they thought the scent would be. Again, that tobacco/smokey note is very dominant so if you spray too much I can definitely understand it triggering a headache or migraine. I am slightly disappointed in the bottle size, but for the price it is realistic so keep that in mind if you're expecting a big bottle of perfume.

I don’t pick up the bourbon at all but! I do love this scent! There’s definitely a sweet vanilla going on but not overtly vanilla it’s a unique vibe, for sure. Some pick up slight smoke notes. I don’t. I don’t tend to care for Smokey notes. But I love this. It does have a surprising depth to it given the price point - so maybe it’s a subtle smoke that contributes to the whole presentation without being ostentatious. It’s sweet but I don’t feel it aligns with my gourmand collection so it’s not bakery vanilla at all. It’s very feminine but not floral. It’s not a clean scent. It’s very lovely and comforting. But like I said - it’s sweet. Longevity isn’t really there but that’s standard for $20 fragrances. Just reapply after 3 hours. Personally I feel it’s inoffensive because it isn’t loud. My mom either never notices my fragrances or doesn’t like most of them - she rarely says anything about them. When I wore this - she was a big fan right away and said it smelled amazing. I layer it with kuumba made vanilla bean lotion. They fit so well. You’re welcome. I LOVE that it’s available on Amazon. I rarely got to target so this was a cool find. Will repurchase for sure. I’m on my 3rd bottle and will always have some on hand. Highly recommend!

Not at all what I was looking for (Atelier Vanille Insensee is no longer sold in the US), but a wonderful scent! I love it, my husband loves it, and I look forward to it being my new daily wear. It’s warm and sweet without being too sweet. The scent doesn’t last long - maybe an hour. But it’s a great scent; entirely void of the passive isopropyl smell that can come with many perfumes (even the more expensive ones I’ve bought!).

LOVE THIS SMELL and so does my husband! :) I wish you could share a scent through a picture! Ha! The bottle is nice, it sprays well, and it lasts quite a while. The only downside (the reason I gave it 4 stars) is that it seems like the scent wears off far sooner than I'd like. I notice sometimes when other women wear perfumes, I can smell them when I'm standing next to them or when they walk into a room. That's definitely not the case with this perfume unless I've JUST applied it. Overall, for the price, this is exactly what I was looking for!

A lovely, smokey vanilla, without any sweetness. Not a lot of projection, but if someone gets close, they'll have compliments. A really interesting addition to my mostly gourmand collection.

my favorite scent of perfume!! i use it everyday and get so many compliments on it! it’s the perfect size so i carry it in my purse!
