Kuumba Made Fragrances (Vanilla Bean, 1/2oz (14.79ml))

This is a delicious vanilla but the bottle is teeny tiny which I didn’t really realise when I spent $70 on it!! You need quite a bit of the perfume to really enjoy the beautiful vanilla that it is.

I first purchased the smaller size and loved the fragrance so much that I went through the whole bottle within a month so I purchased this to refill it and it’s perfect! A lovely vanilla gourmand scent if you like that sort of scent. I am curious to try other scents from this brand.

Firstly, I want to say that this is a delicious smelling oil. It is a pure and beautiful vanilla with a subtle freshness that is hard to come by. I personally have not liked the other scents but have re-purchased this one. I have to mention that the size is shockingly small for the price and I know most people will not be happy with the value here. If you don’t care about that, I do think it’s a lovely oil and it will likely be different than other vanillas in your collection.

This Vanilla Bean fragrance oil from Kuumba Made is my favorite scent from the brand, and I’ve tried quite a few of their roll-ons over the years. The scent is warm, soft, and really comforting. It leans gourmand, but not in an overly sugary way. The vanilla is the star, but the coffee and amber notes give it a deeper, slightly cozy richness that makes it feel more interesting and wearable as an everyday scent. The roll-on format is super convenient. It’s easy to apply to pulse points, great for travel, and the bottle lasts a really long time, especially in the larger size. A little goes a long way. One thing I like to do is layer this over their amber paste, which really helps enhance the scent and makes it last longer throughout the day. On its own, the fragrance can fade a bit quickly, though I do wonder if some of that is just me going nose-blind since I wear it so often. The oil base also makes it feel a bit more skin-like and subtle compared to alcohol-based perfumes, which I personally prefer for daily use. Overall, this is a beautiful, cozy vanilla fragrance that’s easy to wear and a great value for the price. If you like warm, slightly gourmand scents, this one is definitely worth trying.

I love the smell of this oil but nobody else can smell it on me. It’s not very strong and isn’t worth the price in my opinion..
