Flavia Vanilla 82
by Parle Moi de Parfum
Flavia Vanilla 82 presents a sugary, floral-centric profile that veers away from traditional vanilla dominance, though the name suggests otherwise. While some users describe a soft, cool vanilla with a delicate, gourmand character—reminiscent of soy or light ice cream—many report difficulty detecting any real vanilla presence. Instead, the scent leans heavily into white florals, peach, michelia, and osmanthus, with a slightly artificial, candy-like sweetness that becomes more pronounced during wear. The base features a faint musk and woodiness, contributing to a soft, skin-hugging dry down. The fragrance is widely regarded as light in both sillage and longevity, with most notes fading quickly, making it more suitable for intimate settings or layering than standalone use.
Pros
- +The scent offers a light, fresh, and youthful impression, ideal for casual or daytime wear.
- +It functions well as a layering scent, enhancing other fragrances with warmth and sweetness without dominating.
- +Users appreciate its balance and subtlety, especially those drawn to soft, gourmand-leaning florals rather than bold vanilla.
Cons
- −The vanilla note is underwhelming or almost absent for many, making it misleading in name and character.
- −Weak sillage and short longevity limit its impact, especially on dry or neutral skin.
- −The sweet, slightly synthetic and soapy floral character may be overwhelming or unpleasant for those seeking authenticity or depth.
