The review
Strong contender. That is where Hint of Vanilla lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Tobacco Vanille.
Chez Pierre sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tobacco Vanille's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $78 per 100ml it costs 87% less than Tobacco Vanille — the 8th cheapest of 16 twins we can price.
The match is claimed by more than one source, which is as firm as a pairing gets.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Chez Pierre 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.
