Cabanilla is a woody fragrance created by Caitlin Hayes. This is *the* ideal warm-weather vanilla scent - warm vanilla and balsam of Peru create the olfactory equivalent of an amber glow, made suitable for the heat with coconut, salt, and a balmy palm-scented breeze. Cabanilla is a gourmand amber fragrance with notes of salted vanilla, sand, palm fronds, driftwood, a cracked coconut, brown sugar, Peru balsam and a distant beach bonfire. It is an extrait de parfum.
SORCELLERIE CABANILLA REVIEWS
Fragrantica: One of my favorite summertime vanillas! If you enjoy BOSCA VANILLA by Guerlain or Taunt by Dedcool, you are sure to fall head over heels for this one.
Reddit: This is a warm vanilla with a smokey undertone, listed as a "distant bonfire" in the notes. "It sure IS distant" was my initial reaction. I actually couldn't detect the subtle smokiness initially, but I returned to it and questioned how I ever even missed it to begin with (I mean I probably was smelling too many different things at once. Note that is a BAD review practice... BAD testing practice. Just plain bad). It's subtle sure, but it's definitely there. It's a low, sweet smokiness. "Distant" was exactly correct. It gives the fragrance an overall toasted effect. A warm, sweet, subtly smokey toasted salted vanilla. It's a pretty sophisticated vanilla and perhaps those who usually find vanilla too cloying or sweet would enjoy it. 5/5 - Ease of use, versatility, I like salted vanillas, and coconut and yeah, it's just plain pretty.
