Vanille

The lime is very very overpowering. Very citrusy, a little headache inducing for me sadly.

Citrus scents are definitly one of my favourite fragrance profiles and I own around 25+ different citrus perfumes. Vanille by FB is definitly a favourite in my collection. I love the sweet lime and lemon, ginger, caramel combo of this fragrance. It’s sugary but remains light, airy and easy to wear. Its no where near as sugary sweet or as cakey as Lira, and nowhere near as strong as unknown pleasures which also has a tea note. It’s also lighter than Dulcis in fundo. I’d say it’s closest to “Il Colore Del Vento” but with more lemon rather than lime in comparison. This is a great scent for spring or summer and easily unisex. It’s also very reasonably priced for 100ml.

@Line. B 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂 you’ve gone WHAAAT to it? AGNOSTIC?!😂 whaaaaat?

This one is pleasant! It's not the typical creamy lemon vanilla gourmand, we see these days as it is fresh spicy indeed. To me it smells exactly like e crossover between lemon/lime flavored Pepsi and Bundaberg's Ginger Beer, which could be interpreted as slightly artificial. When I spray it on it's own, I feel like there's some depth missing. However, it's great for layering with other vanillas - blends beautifully whilst preserving it's citrusy brightness. :) It's definitely on the moderate side as far as longevity and sillage go, but very likable nevertheless.

Cozy, elegant, delicious and distinctive!!

Not something extraordinary or special, but pleasant gourmand scent. Opens with a lot of citrusses, caramel, some subtle spices and sweet accord. Over time lime quiets down, and vanille becomes dominant. Leans definitely feminine.

Huge disappointment. I blind bought this perfume because I couldn't smell it in any shop. Let me tell you that is has nothing to do with Lira. Just because there is lemon and vanilla doesn't mean it smells like Lira or Devotion. First of all, I do like the scent. My main issue is that it has zero sillage. I can barely smell it on myself which makes it hard for me to appreciate it. This perfume is extremely unisex. Even though, it's not listed, the blend of spices makes it feel like there is tobacco in it. It is actually a very fresh and spicy vanilla scent. It reminds me of a summer version of Shalimar. Those who listed that perfume as smelling like Sublime Vanille by Creed were right even though it doesn't smell exactly the same (Sublime Vanille is in fact a fresher, more lemony version of Shalimar). Vanille by Franck Boclet gives me spiced tea vibes and also reminds me of the Ruthless Countess Dorothea by Penhalihon's that has been discontinued. In a nutshell, it would have been a very nice perfume if it weren't for its exceptionally bad performance. I will let it sit for a while and see if it is better in summer but I have doubts. Update : Apparently people around me can smell it fine. I must be agnostic to some of the notes. This perfume is just so light and airy. It's very easy to forget about it once sprayed. Not my kind of perfume.

Vanille by Franck Boclet is a cozy, gourmand vanilla scent that wraps you in soft warmth without being overly sweet or cloying. It feels like a comforting hug on cooler days, perfect for winter evenings or relaxed weekends when you want a little cheerful sweetness in the air. Longevity is moderate, usually around 5–6 hours on skin before settling into a gentle, close skin scent; projection is moderate, enough for personal enjoyment and subtle recognition by others nearby. It’s a nicely balanced vanilla that’s approachable and easy to wear even if you’re not usually a gourmand fan. The old formulation was better. More citrussy

Vanilla with lime, grapefruit and cardamom. I would say it is more of a man's cologne type scent but with a teeny bit if sweetness from the vanilla.

Too sweet. No depht, gave me a headache both times I wore it.

Smells like Lira but without the urinal jasmine touch, and perhaps a tiny bit woody also?

Love it very similar to lira though but a lot smoother ! And better blended than lira

Lemon curd and vanilla, smooth and creamy.

The best spicy citrusy vanilla ,cozy sweet and comforting. Although you can find similar scent profiles like Lira ,Devotion Dolce&Gabbana, Akro and even Nishane Ani ,this has its own place . Price/quality is quite acceptable,nothing unique but it's worth trying . Definitely recommend for fall ,winter or evening .

Fluffy lemon-orange vanilla cake. It feels this one has more orange than lemon on addition to a very sugared bourbon vanilla base. It feels like a mix of Lira and Dulcis in Fundo, no floral touches here (not like Devotion that has some white flower notes) this is also similar to by Love & Crime Ex-Idolo...so which one is the best? all of them are very nice, gorgeous citrus vanilla dessert scents, but you might be able to find Franck Boclet Vanilla for less than $90 (I got my 100 ml bottle for $86) if the price matters to you maybe FBV can be a clear winner. Regarding longevity and projection I really have not found a differences between the scents I mentioned. All of them have a medium to low projection and lasts 3-4 hours on my skin, even Lira which was the most expensive from the bunch.

It smells like a citrusy vanilla cupcake. Good projection and last the whole day. A good alternative to Lira(which I also own a bottle of).

#883 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Got this as a decant. This caramel-vanilla scent's only distinct characteristic that I can discern is a strong lime note that doesn't seem to belong here. Like all citrus it fades out, but it ruins the opening for me. I have a dozen or more far better vanillic scents, so I think this is a waste of anyone's money and won't be a bottle buy for me. Lattafa "Khamrah" and "Khamrah Qawah" do this better for less, and they don't do this as well as Kilian's "Angel's Share", which doesn't do this as well as MFK "Grand Soir", which in fact sits at the pinnacle of this category and for which there are several similars that come close enough for less than $25 and are still superior to this Boclet scent.

It's just... okay. Nothing exciting, groundbreaking, or moving, do not get this if you're after that. Vanilla-centered, small notes like florals and lime attempt to provide balance so sweetness doesn't overpower, but are never at the forefront. Discreet waffle cone/ coconutty vibe. Caramel aids to give its gourmand profile. There's some imperfections but it's still an okay formula overall. Slighty boozy vanilla. Nothing GREAT, just good. For those who want something familiar and sufficient enough for a gourmand fragrance. It doesn't morph or cross any boundaries; it stays linear and within the 'perfume' territory. Something you can wear every day, moderate longevity and silage. Spritz and get on with your day. VERY high price for what it is. 6.5/10

Very citrusy scent, very little vanilla.

It is like a caramel vanilla beer. Very sweet very praline with a hint of citrusy. It smells too fancy like some sweet joke

Smells like a bathroom cleaner product

Has a fun caramel popcorn and vanilla vibe going on.

Scent of panettone/polish babka/paska.Sweet gourmand fragrance.

After a first phase of about an hour in which this perfume transmits a sensation of being a quite evident lemon and ginger candy, it reaches a drydown, for me is more pleasant, in which a delicious and spicy sweet vanilla remains on the skin. This vanilla is not excessively sweet but at the perfect gourmand point, not at all cloying and balanced by the cedar wood. I personally love it. On my skin I don't find it so similar to Lira by Xerjoff or L by Lolita Lempicka because the spicy aspect is much more reduced than in these two. As for comparison with Bake by Akro or Devotion by D&G, Vanille seems more delicate to me in regard to the citrus notes. With respect to Bake in particular, it seems to me that it tends more towards the feminine side due to its greater sweetness, even though it is perfectly wearable by a man as well. It has a moderate sillage and sticks to the skin fantastically, lasting over 12 hours on my skin. I think it is a perfume with an excellent quality-price ratio that I would definitely include in my collection if I would need a warm, cozy and sweet vanilla in my wardrobe.

Yummy!!! Loves it. Very safe for blind buy.

although i do think this is lovely, i don't really get the depth of flavor suggested by the actual notes in this perfume...it just smells like a really simple vanilla gourmand (but a beautiful and high-quality one). i do quite like it, but i wish i could get some of those citrus or ginger notes that are also supposed to be in this profile, it would make it more interesting. this is quite strong. interestingly, it stays on clothes for a very long time, but disappeared from my skin almost immediately.

People say this is gourmand, but I'm getting a perfect vanilla cedar with a touch of ginger and caramel to round it out. I'm absolutely dying waiting to pick up Nishane Ani from my mom's house in another country, and this is going to get me through! It's giving the same vibes.

Literally no reason to own this. Just get Lira which is the best lemon gourmand in its class.

Very nice realistic lemon sponge cake with lots of sugar and vanilla. You can easily wear it during summer and winter. The only problem is the zero projection. I literally have to put my nose where I sprayed to smell it.

It's fine. I like the beginning which reminds me of a lemon cake. The dry down appeared quite dusty and outdated.
