The review

Velvet Vanilla scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Xplicit Vanilla.

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

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $122 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
