Vaninight vs Lira

The r/fragrance community has divided opinions on this wishlist, with recommendations to skip certain fragrances like Kayali Vanilla 28 (synthetic) and Billie Eilish (cheap body spray feel), while praising alternatives like Creed Sublime Vanille and Chabaud fragrances. Multiple users advise testing extensively before purchasing, as skin chemistry heavily affects how these gourmand vanillas perform, and longevity is a common concern across the board.

Xerjoff Lira is a polarizing gourmand fragrance that impresses devoted fans with its delicious cake-like scent, interesting supporting notes, and strong projection, but frustrates others with its cloying sweetness, play-doh undertones, and high price-to-performance ratio. Community consensus is that it's excellent for gourmand enthusiasts who enjoy extremely sweet fragrances and don't mind moderate longevity, but requires careful sampling before purchase.
