New favorite scent leather?
...as long as it's powdery and goes in a sweet direction, go for it.
Once again, EssenceVitae has proved me wrong. Leather can also be really cool and feminine! After my review of Cuir Béluga yesterday, the next leather fragrance has already cast its spell over me. This time it's Vanille Leather. I see parallels in both fragrances when it comes to the slightly powdery, sweetish leather note. This composition gives me a real sense of well-being. Nevertheless, the two fragrances can be easily distinguished from each other due to other influences.
In addition to leather and vanilla, Vanille Leather has a higher floral component (bright flowers and definitely violets come to the fore), which makes the fragrance very suitable for spring. Personally, I even detect a very delicate and pleasant note of sun cream. It clearly goes in a powdery and creamy direction and also has something very well-groomed about it. This makes it very suitable for everyday wear for me. It is a little more restrained than the Cuir Béluga, but you can still perceive it very well. The progression of the Vanille Leather is rather linear, at least I don't notice any further development of the fragrance throughout the day. So you already know what you're getting into with the first spray. But that doesn't make it any less exciting.
I perceive the fragrance on my skin for a good 8 hours and on my clothes and hair for much longer. The sillage is not overpowering, but is definitely a good 8/10.

A successful evergreen from bdk!

It is always better than the majority of reviews
In my opinion, the Vanille Leather is definitely rated too poorly. It is definitely not quite as negative as it is sometimes portrayed.

For me, the fragrance starts directly with a vanilla note. Vanilla is listed in the base, but I get it right at the beginning. I can also detect leather, albeit not very edgy, but pleasing.
Furthermore, I even briefly had the impression of smelling coconut, but that was probably my imagination. Crazy sometimes.
A few floral nuances can also be detected and round off the fragrance nicely.
After a few hours, the fragrance becomes sweeter and sweeter, but not sticky sweet.

In general, the fragrance is creamy, sweet, slightly floral, pleasantly leathery and dryly powdery.

The performance is consistently solid to good!

Confirmed: I'm a barbie girl!
and I loved Barbie as a child idolatrously. I had very many, Arielle, Gymnastics Barbie, uvm. (many I can no longer think of) and of course the camper and the carriage with this great white horse and pink mane. Ken, the smart beachboy, sat at the wheel of the motorhome with a wide grin and snow-white teeth, waiting for his Barbie while Barbie got ready for her trip. And so time passed, I turned 13 and was curious about what the gym Barbie could do with Ken...I experimented and suddenly the scales fell from my eyes. This went too far (I know, for some of you it's getting really exciting now... ;)). I knew the time with Barbie had passed. And so the time with her came to an end. The end of childhood and the beginning of a new exciting time.

These memories come to me with Vanilla Leather - it smells like my memory of time with Barbie. Squeaky sweet (not sticky), just girly, just carefree easy living. The scent of mother's makeup bag and opulent perfumes from the 90s. Powdery through the iris and violets, the intense white flower notes super embedded in the base notes, the leather is more appearance than reality. The name is not quite accurate, but I find it very successful. POV: very unique!

Disappointment...
What a disappointment. Where is the vanilla? Unfortunately, I smell a super penetrating leather note from the beginning, maybe because I often have problems with leather notes, I don't know, but the scent is unfortunately very cowshed or cow dung for me, especially in the opening ... My husband's comment was, after I sprayed the scent on a test strip, that it smells in the living room, like when the farmers around the corner have just fertilized the meadows. The fact that many people here hardly notice the leather note is really a mystery to me ...

I hardly smell any vanilla ‍️ In the drydown, the fragrance becomes a little milder and a hint of iris and a faint tuberose try to get through the still present penetrating leather note but without success.

For me, the fragrance is unbearable and unwearable ...

Miracle tree
If you have been dealing with perfumes for a while, sooner or later you will come across the term niche and thus the BDK Parfums brand. But caution is advised. Even though these fragrances are now praised to the skies in countless reviews and videos, they are anything but ordinary.

The best-known fragrance from this brand is probably Gris Charnel, which is loved by everyone. Except for me. I almost bought a bottle of it, but decided at the last minute to sample the fragrance. I can't thank myself enough, because when I finally put my nose to Gris Charnel I smelled...wet potting soil (yuck).

So I also tried Vanille Leather with a fragrance sample. After the bitter disappointment with Gris Charnel, I was a little scared. I sniffed the test area on my arm very carefully. I closed my eyes and...sit in a brand new, black BMW with leather interior. It's a beautiful, warm summer's day and the sun is shining so brightly that gloomy thoughts don't stand a chance. A miracle tree that smells intensely of vanilla flutters on the rear-view mirror. The windows are rolled down and the gentle breeze mixes with the smell of the car and the fragrant tree. I live in the moment and say to myself: life is beautiful.

Um das wichtigste direkt zu sagen der Duft ist eine Bombe aus Vanille mit einer leichten Leder Note. Der Duft ist perfekt abgestimmt!

BDK has a way of making historically sweet notes less sweet - in a good way. Same here. Enjoyable, but very simplistic for such a high price

A lot of florals on a dark woody & mild leather base. Non-overpowering vanilla, minimal leather throughout. Leans fem, fall-winter.
