Very pretty, reminds me of a dolls head and a new born baby freshly powdered for the very first time. Ordered in sniffie for perfume application.

I was looking for a good blending vanilla for perfumes and hoping that the rich notes other reviewers describe would come out for me, too, without butter or cakey notes. This one went onto the skin as a nicely soft vanilla but it dried fast to nasty, overpowering baby powder. Will be fine for girl perfumes or comfort notes for those who love powder, but I frankly hated this one. It gets three stars for being well done but I put the sniffie vial back in the plastic immediately so I don't have to touch it again. It was just too much sweet, cloying baby powder. Powder-haters, beware....

Received in XC in a sniffie vial. My main focus is blending for perfumery (solids, perfume oils, and in perfumer's alcohol). Let me just say, I think I may have just discovered my absolute holy grail vanilla (outside of Vanilla Co2, which is prohibitively expensive to use in wide scale applications). I have tried so many different vanillas, looking for just the right thing to use in perfumery, a vanilla that isn't foody, that isn't cloying, that isn't "thin", that isn't too buttery, too plastic, etc. This is a REALLY rich vanilla scent, not foody, though at first blush I do get a really deep "pound cake" type note - but that quickly disappears and this mellows into a gorgeous sweet and rather powdery vanilla floral on my skin. I'm sure that's the heliotrope. This truly is a nice standalone, and would blend very well also....

Very smooth sweet modern vanilla. Uplifting and adorable. This is a young ladies type of scent. Bought in SNIFFIE.

i love this scent. This is my second purchase and use it in combination with other scents. It can be used alone as well if desired.

Initially, on first sniff 'Vanilla Velve't reminded me a lot of of SOS 'Vanilla Apothecary'. However, on the dry down, Vanilla Apothecary has more of a woody less sweet base. Vanilla Velvet is sweeter, with a slight floral/fruity top notes, not buttery at all.
Infact I would'nt class it as a foody scent, but more of a sexy grown up fragrance. Use on its own or as a blender....

I ordered this in the Ultra and I was looking for a sweet vanilla without a harsh buttery overtone. This was perfect. This also mixes very well with other scents.

I wouldn't normally post two reviews for the same product, but I just have to say that the more I play with this, the more I am becoming enamored with it. I ordered a pound in the SOS and it is just as wonderful as the extreme. I have used it in everything from candles to smelly jellies to perfumes and lotions. There's something about this that is so much more sexy than plain vanilla. When using this fragrance in candles, I like to dye the wax a soft pink or lavender and put it in a silver filigree container because it has that "Angelic" quality. It is also sweetly simple enough that you can easily incorporate it into other fragrances. I successfully added a couple drops of the Extreme to a spicy-clean men's fragrance to add a soft/sweet element. The results were drop dead amazing. It also mixed beautifully with grapefruit essential oil for an "iced grapefruit" effect. Thank you so much SOS for this one. It's going to be one of my staples for a long time. I wish I could give it six sta...

I can't say that I've ever smelled "heliotrope" before, but I'm guessing that must be the aspect of this fragrance that I just can't get enough of. I can't stop smelling it. It is only about half vanilla...and the other half is spectacular. (Extreme concentration)....

I made a soap using the sample I got and this is a hit. I LOVE this and will be buying more of this to use in a few of of my soaps and blends. This is so sweet, soft and creamy. Delicious scent!

Snifflie sample. If you are looking for a vanilla that does not add a lot of sweetness, try this one. Great for blending to tone down the sharpness of other scents.. Has a good scent throw. Extreme concentration for perfume oils. Very impressed....
