From the brand - "Va Va Vanilla by Sarah Baker is a gourmand-leaning fragrance built around coffee, cocktail, and vanilla nuances. The composition opens with an accord of espresso martini, cinnamon, and black cherry, creating a dark, spicy-fruity introduction. In the heart, saffron, coffee, crushed nuts, rum, and a Manhattan cocktail note add complexity and a boozy, roasted character. The base focuses on a prominent vanilla note alongside guaiac wood, leather, sandalwood, and silky woods, with an additional "hot skin" accord that suggests a warm, intimate tone. Overall, it combines edible, spicy, and woody facets into a rich, modern take on a vanilla-centered scent."
Sarah Baker Va Va Vanilla REVIEWS
Fragrantica - "the opening smells like Jany to my nose. Warm and rich apple or cherry pie with a tinge of coffee and nuts in the background. I don’t get much leather. As it dries down, the cherry and sweetness become more prominent, and it moves into Rouge Smoking Extrait territory. A woody, cherry vanilla drydown."
Fragrantica - "Day one - On first impression I get a slight leathery black cherry with coffee and boozy undertones. The leather is quite prominent. Day two - the whisky note is stronger. Day 3 - the nutty notes are most prominent but the scent is beginning to balance out more."
Fragrantica - "Did the universe need *another* vanilla perfume? Hmmmm....probably not. But *Va Va Vanilla* isn't just *another* vanilla perfume. Can my nose and I detect (separately) every one of the notes: Black Cherry, Cinnamon, Espresso Martini, Whiskey, Coffee, Rum, Nutty Notes, Saffron, Vanilla, Skin, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, Leather and Woody Notes. Definitely.... thankfully....not. Do I find the combination of notes work/blend together creating something new and different....especially for a vanilla perfume? Yes....very much so. It's *spicy* but not peppery; it's warm with a no-mint coolness. It's unique....neither masculine or feminine.... much the way a food recipe/dish isn't gender specific. And...it needs nothing; I can't imagine layering it with anything....ever. (I can imagine wearing it with a cashmere turtleneck and a tweed blazer.) It's new, fresh, classic and unique ~ it's Sarah Baker's *Va Va Vanilla*. I like it."
