OMG is this beautiful. It’s the perfect vanilla that’s very, very rich, decadent, sweet, simple vanilla. Very, very similar to Lattafa’s Eclair but a bit denser and richer. I don’t find it’s too much like the OG Bianco Latte. I still find Bianco Latte wears a bit denser, richer, with better performance. However it’s not a lot better. Just about 80 -90 % as close. Since the OG is quite pricey and I can get pretty much the same with this one (just have to apply heavier and more often) at 1/4 the price, I’d choose this one. I doubt anyone would be able to discern the difference (you included )unless you sprayed one arm with Cream Velvet and the other with Bianco Latte equally and smelled them side by side. They’re very close and though you’d have to use a tad more Cream Velvet, I’m not sure if I like one more than the other. They’ve such slight differences and you’d really need to appreciate the difference and secondly like one more than the other. They’ve such slight biggest difference is you must mature Cream Velvet. While it helps Bianco Latte perhaps a tad bit as well, it does come out swinging and performed day one. Cream Velvet does not. It took clearing the straw and the requisite 3 months. A lot depends on your patience level. Is it worth waiting 3 months? If I really nitpick Bianco Latte might be ever so slightly sweeter but here again they’re both vanilla bombs and are very sweet. How much sweeter can you even perceive if at all? I personally like the open of both so much so I prefer touching up the scent more often that would get significantly more expensive if using the OG this way! Cream Velvet has floral notes BUT I cannot pick any up. I smell VANILLA and a very rich, sweet one at that. Yes it’s sorta like vanilla extract but you get dense, rich, creamy lactonic notes as well. Much like a very rich vanilla ice cream with vanilla hard sauce. If you want to smell edible, here you go as you’ll definitely feel exceedingly yummy like a photorealistic treat. It’s like a buttery vanilla cookie dough too mixed in so I’m not sure which dessert it most resembles but think everything vanilla and sugary. A note of caution is this perfume does have the note of honey. It’s listed as a note and others smell it but again I don’t usually. My nose dives right into vanilla, sweet, creamy and never gets to most of the other notes. Honey however is a note that so often goes wrong. I really veer away from honey centric fragrances for this reason. If it has even the suggestion of going even near the slightest anamolic note it’s a perfume I will not enjoy. Even if it’s not strong enough for others to smell my nose will pick up on it and completely ruin a fragrance for me. Honey is typically a very difficult note to get right and I can tell you immediately if it heads towards that end of the pool. I was more pleased, maybe relieved that my nose didn’t pick up on this particular note originally. I can now sometimes pick up on it but Khadlge has done it very, very well. If you too worry about the honey, please don’t. If I don’t have a problem with it you won’t. In fact when I pick up on it I rather like it. That’s saying a lot! This fragrance is very, very nice on its own but I tend to usually prefer something a bit more complex and less juvenile. When I mention juvenile, I dont mean it as a bad thing. I guess I’m saying the complexity of this perfume is exceedingly simple, straight forward, easy. I sometimes like just the simplicity in this perfume however I also value it’s ability to layer with EVERYTHING! No matter how complex the fragrance or if you’re trying to make a very complex fragrance an easier wear, Cream Velvet is absolutely perfect. Makes very simple scents to the most difficult very easy reaches. If you want to smell edible, you got it here. I’ve layered with very citrus forward scents such as North Stag IV to smell exactly like an orange creamsicle to extremely challenging complex scents like When Soul Gets High to pull it down and make it a more simple olfactory experience where the notes were pulled apart and showcased. Or Love In Paris (Roja) as polarizing as that perfume is, really, really beautiful. I now am complimented, actually chased down, with both men and women asking what in the world I was wearing and where can they get it???? I had a couple search row by row in a big box restaurant supply warehouse absolutely on a mission to find where/who was wearing “that” perfume. I knew what was going on as it’s become a thing now when I see someone notice my perfume but not quite where it was coming from??? I guess I made a game of it that day to see if they’d find me, how long they’d continue to watch, and just when they’d hit on who was wearing it. They actually were kinda impolite when they found me yelling down the aisle to stay there! Actually had a good laugh in reality. Cream Velvet was the key in that one that made a very different perfume very sought after as usually only complex ones do. Cream Velvet can be worn anytime, anywhere, all occasions except the gym. Any season except warm weather. It’s a cold weather scent generally speaking but if you go easy on the trigger you could safely wear it in all but the hottest weather. During summer you could mix it with a freshie such as D&G lt Blue, or LV’s Pacific Chill. You really can make it work most of the time and sorta fun to do as it’s infinitely layerable with most fragrances out there. I’ve also heard it’s a wonderful job interview perfume because it’s so versatile and yummy reminiscent of being in your mom’s kitchen baking cookies. Who doesn’t want to be around when mom’s baking I guess. Makes you trustworthy and relatable I’m told. Projection is about midway on the scale but sillage is perhaps not great. That’s sorta just how most vanilla scents work however so I wouldn’t take off points here. Just reapply a bit more often to get a larger personal scent bubble going for you. I don’t pick up any powderiness, nor musk, and certainly nothing sharp or screechie. A very well blended perfume that’s as smooth as room temperature butter. Perfectly unisex, it doesn’t lean feminine nor masculine at all. I can see either wearing this just as well despite gender. This on its own isn’t a very sophisticated scent. Formal occasions like a wedding id go with a nice rose layer but doesn’t matter whether dressed up or down it’s going to work for you and I believe it’s an absolute staple in any perfume collection. One of the most beautiful scents I’ve tried this with is the new Vanilla Seduction perfume. I would imagine these mixed equally is what an angels breath smells like. Yes both are vanilla centric but OMG do they work well together and performance goes to near beast mode which is very unusual in vanilla perfumes. Vanilla Seduction brings in an aged Kay Ally Vanilla 28 that I’ve never seen done before. It comes matured just as though it’s been matured properly for 6 months to a year and the juice has turned a deep brown/burgandy. It has a patchouli that is to die for quite literally! Thus not only my favorite vanilla but probably my favorite perfume out of a collection of over 260 bottles from niche to designer, or Arabic Houses. If you buy Vanilla Seduction, best to get two or three cause this is an incredible scent I’ve not heard anyone not just loving. However I’d advise Cream Velvet too, mix them and easy peasey to layer any third scent in for variety. Yes I’d buy this fragrance again. Yes it’s completely blind buy safe. Yes it’s great for gifting, yes it’s ridiculously affordable, yes performance above average for a vanilla, yep makes you smell edible, yes elevates your other perfumes, yep checks all my boxes! Thank goodness this has a talk to text feature!
