What wearers say
“I have only discovered this brand and Vanilla Club is my first purchase. I find this very similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille but it also dances between Bvlgari Man In Black. I wore this to work and had a nice compliment from a female client who said it was a gorgeous scent and asked me the name as she wanted to purchase it . This scent lingers and wafts around during the day to remind you it's there. I'm very pleased with it. It's a fraction of the price of Tobacco Vanille but very similar.”
“As an ex smoker I am overly sensitive to tobacco note and it's quite intensive in the opening. After an hour or so the sweetness takes over and I really like it, the dry down is elegant and sexy. Out of three tested scents this one I find the most original from the brand. Reminds me Tobacolor a bit but is more bearable for me (in terms of tobacco note). This one might stay in my collection.”
“I bought the 'Best of Novellista' sampleset. This is the 3rd scent that I have tried.The opening brings back memories of celebrating Saint Nicolas at my grandparents house. The smell of 'pepernoten', traditional tiny spicy cookies, my grandfather's tobacco and the dried fruits my grandmother used for deserts.The drydown is very nice and cosy! But there is also some freshness in it to lift it up.I like it a lot. I think I will use this for drizzly, windy winterdays.”
