The review

On paper, Vanilla Sugar is an outside bet if you want Cheirosa 59 for less.

Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cheirosa 59's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 it costs 14% less than Cheirosa 59.

Value1.6
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on sugared violet and bergamot, turns to vanilla orchid and iris, and settles into sheer sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Vanilla Sugar is working from.

Top

  • sugared violet
  • bergamot

Heart

  • vanilla orchid
  • iris

Base

  • sheer sandalwood
  • musk
Sugared violet and vanilla orchid over sheer sandalwood; soft, drowsy and sun-warmed.
