Okay, so I’ve been seeing “The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods” perfume everywhere lately, and you know I had to try it. The hype was real, and I wanted to see if it lived up to it. So, here’s my little journey with this fragrance.
First, I ordered a sample size online. I’m always hesitant to buy a full bottle of anything without trying it first, you know? Too many perfume graveyard bottles in my closet already! When it arrived, the packaging was pretty simple – nothing too fancy, which I actually appreciate.
The First Sniff
I spritzed it on my wrist, and…wow. The initial scent is definitely vanilla, but not that super-sweet, artificial vanilla. It’s more of a warm, woody vanilla, like the name suggests. It kind of reminded me of being in a cozy cabin with a fireplace going, if that makes any sense.
I wore it around the house for a few hours to see how it developed. The woody notes really started to come out, and I even got a hint of something a little…spicy? Maybe a bit of amber or something. It was really interesting, and definitely not what I was expecting from a vanilla perfume.
The Wear Test
The real test was wearing it out and about. I sprayed some on before heading out to meet a friend for coffee. It was perfect! Not too overpowering, but I kept getting these lovely little whiffs of it throughout the afternoon. My friend even commented on it, saying I smelled “amazing” (score!).
- Started by ordering a small size.
- Checked the first sniff at home.
- Tested on a friend meeting.
Final Thoughts
Honestly after wearing the perfume for the full day,I’m really digging this scent. It’s sophisticated, cozy, and just a little bit different. It’s the kind of perfume that makes you feel good when you wear it. I’ll probably finish the sample size pretty quickly and might even splurge on the full bottle. Consider me influenced, I guess!
