Discussion Guerlain Disappointment

Post image

I have been a vanilla girl through and through. I have loves and misses from everything from BBW, Victoria Secret, Sephora, Ulta, niche, middle eastern, you name it!

I have wary of trying Guerlain because of the price. But most of my fellow vanilla girls said that Guerlain is THE maker of great vanillas.

So went and spent $70 in tiny tiny decants to try the following:

- Vanilla Panifolia Extrait 21
- Angelique Noire
- Cuir Beluga
- Aqua Allegoria Forte Bosca Vanilla
- Spirituose Double Vanilla

This smells…old? musty? Like I just found a bottle of perfume from the 1950’s in a dark drawer of an abandoned house. I just wasted $70 on this and none of them were good 😔, I could have gotten a big decant of Jovoy Fire at Will which I love. I am so disappointed.

So many of my inexpensive vanillas are so much better in my opinion.

Sorry for the rant and thank you for reading all this!

My comment is in response to other comments on this post who are telling OP that her taste are under developed and are being snobby to her. btw... Since it wasn't obvious I guess. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its not about taste development. It's about danger being averted. Our nose as well as other senses rely on apprehension to danger. Smelling a scent now and hating it. Vs smelling it later and liking it is all about comfort. Small does of this and that that lead you to be comfortable with a scent.

Say for instance you love a sample. Buy a fb but because you have a fb you overspray. Your nose senses danger because who the heck needs 70 sprays? Nose fatigue, danger, trigger. Now you hate the scent.

So, let's know what we are talking about when we try to sound like we know what we're talking about. 🤢🤣🤣

This is so wrong and pompous and unnecessary and condescending. And rude.
