🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum, 50 ml, with roughly 20% fragrance oil concentration. It costs €25, an affordable price whatever original stands behind it. Free shipping applies from €49, and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Tom Ford sells Vanilla Sex as an eau de parfum too, so Vanillaholic matches that strength - denser than an eau de toilette or an eau de cologne, though not as heavy as an extrait de parfum.

Longevity runs 6 to 10 hours, with strong sillage and real projection in the first two hours that settles closer to the skin after that. The oils are French, the filling is done by hand, and nothing is tested on animals. If Vanillaholic is not what you expected, you have 15 days to exchange it.

NOTES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Vanillaholic is our perfume dupe of Tom Ford Vanilla Sex, made for anyone who wants a vanilla that leans dark and animalic rather than sweet and simple. It opens on bitter almond, moves into a heart of vanilla and floral notes, and settles into vanilla absolute, ultravanil, tonka bean and sandalwood.

The first minutes are almondy and a little sharp, closer to marzipan than dessert. Within half an hour the floral side softens the edges and the fragrance turns creamy, then the vanilla absolute and sandalwood take over for a base that stays warm and a touch skin-like for hours. It is not a light, powdery vanilla - Vanillaholic smells similar to the original in exactly the way that surprises people who expect something safer. This is one of the more distinctive perfume dupes in our vanilla lineup, and the middle notes of soft florals keep it from turning into just another sweet fragrance among dozens of similar fragrances.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Vanillaholic

Inspired by: Vanilla Sex, Tom Ford

Vanillaholic works any time of year, though it comes into its own once the weather turns cold, when the almond and sandalwood base has something to hold onto. In summer, one spray in the evening is usually enough; in winter you can layer it heavier for the office or a night out.

Tom Ford markets Vanilla Sex as unisex, and Vanillaholic follows that lead. It is not built as a strictly masculine or feminine scent - most people who reach for it, men and women alike, want that dark, almost skin-scented vanilla rather than something conventionally sweet, so treat it as equally for him and for her. It stands apart from most vanilla fragrances and gourmand fragrances that lean powdery instead of animalic.

Choose our Inspiration

Tom Ford is an American designer house with a niche, luxury Private Blend line, and Vanilla Sex belongs to it - one of its most talked-about names, mentioned in the same breath as the house's other big vanilla and gourmand releases.

Few people use the full name in conversation. On forums and in reviews it usually gets shortened, and that shortened version is what most of the fragrances inspired by it, dupes and clones alike, end up chasing. Read any review of the original and bitter almond, vanilla absolute and a faintly animalic warmth are the three things people mention first.

Why choose us?

Vanillaholic is our alternative to Tom Ford Vanilla Sex - a fragrance dupe built as our own blend, not someone else's formula, made to capture that dark almond-vanilla accord with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, since a lighter concentration would lose the animalic depth that makes the original recognisable. Most people say Vanillaholic smells like the original from the first spray; if you disagree, you have 15 days to send it back for an exchange.
