Dark Vanilla by Urban Scents | Fragrance Fragrance
What does Dark Vanilla smell like?
Dark Vanilla is a far cry from the sugary, cupcake-style scents typically associated with the genre. Instead, it opens with a sharp, medicinal crackle of camphor tree and the dry heat of pink pepper....
Enthusiasts generally view this as a sophisticated, non-juvenile vanilla, noting that the "dark" moniker is earned through its resinous and woody accords rather than sugary gourmand notes.
Performance is widely considered solid, with the fragrance lasting through a full evening without becoming cloying or overwhelming the room.
While many vanilla scents are compared to mass-market "clones" or lighter designer offerings, this is frequently distinguished by its medicinal camphor opening and the distinct tea note.
It is overwhelmingly preferred for colder weather, specifically during fall and winter evenings, though its dry nature makes it more wearable for professional and business settings than typical gourmand fragrances.
