Kyse Perfumes: Bonbons À La Vanille

Bonbons À La Vanille (“Bonbons”) is a new release from Kyse Perfumes.  On me, it wears as an oriental vanilla (gourmand) fragrance.  It is important to stop here to note that this fragrance was created for the perfumer’s friend at his request for a “grown up vanilla candy”.   I find this quite lovely. 

Bonbons opens as a delectable, sweet, pure vanilla.  There is an eloquent finish on the vanilla that prevents it from becoming a mass market teen-type vanilla.  In Bonbons, Peru Balsam adds a slightly earthiness to the vanilla as I reach roughly 2 hours into wear.  Into the drydown, I get a slight spice – cinnamon possibly but not quite distinct.  There is a soft, light, white muskiness in the drydown as well which adds a comforting feel; much like a warm blanket in the Winter.

Bonbons wears on me with soft projection for roughly 7 – 8 hours.

Notes: Tahitian vanilla beans, Peru balsam, “warm skin scent base”
