Tihota

This is the most photorealistic vanilla I've tried...and I swear, I have tried them all. To me, this beats out Guerlain's Vanille Planifolia. I'm ready to buy my backup bottle already. I do find that layering it with another vanilla with good longevity (for me, it's Trudon's 45 degrees), helps the staying power of Tihota.

I have a lot of vanilla perfumes but never pulled the plug on this blind buy by reputation. Kicking myself as pure vanilla goes this one is the reference point for all my other vanilla. Should have been my first and only vanilla buy. Fantastic Sillage and duration. Long live Francis Kurkjian x

Definitely an absolute vanilla, but I'm getting an incense note on my skin that I haven't seen any other reviewer reference! Smells great - top 3 vanillas for me
