Yves Rocher Vanille Noire EDP

If you have been following my blog for the past few months then you will have noticed that the brand Yves Rocher has popped up quite a few times; it was one of my favourite brands of 2014! I have used about six/severn of their fragrances over the years and I loved all of them, this latest addition is no exception. 

I have the lovely *Yves Rocher Vanilla Noire Secrets D'Essences Eau de Parfum (£17 sale, 30ml) which I have been wearing so much recently along with fragrances from Caudalie, Diptyque and The Library Of Fragrance. I love the bottle, it looks very luxe and fancy! The notes are as follows: vanilla bourbon absolute, tahitian vanilla absolute and ugandan vanilla absolute. I have wanted to try a solely vanilla fragrance for a while so this one is perfect for me. 

The scent is gorgeous, it is very, very vanillary which I love! It is more suitable for the evening in my opinion as it is very rich, deep and musky yet it still has warm, creamy sweet vanilla tones. I also love the spray as it is very fine and even so you don't get droplets of perfume on your clothing/skin. The longevity of Yves Rocher is not their strong suit but the longevity of this perfume is approx. five hours. 

Overall, I love the packaging and because of that alone it would make a lovely gift but it is also a lovely warm, rich evening fragrance too. The longevity is reasonable and it sprays evenly. I would definitely recommend Yves Rocher fragrances, especially for the price as they are usually on offer/sale. 

Have you tried any fragrances from Yves Rocher?
