Vanilla Era vs Gold

Vanilla Era by Boy Smells does not appear in the provided Reddit discussion. The conversation focuses on other fragrances like Eau Duelle, Bal d'Afrique, Bianco Latte, and various niche houses, but Vanilla Era is not mentioned or reviewed by community members.

Commodity Gold Expressive is praised for its beautiful, creamy vanilla scent and sophisticated character, but severely criticized for its lack of projection and poor longevity that doesn't justify its high price. Multiple users report the fragrance has been reformulated and weakened over time, with many seeking alternatives or dupes like Zara's Golden Decade or Lost in a Dream by Navitus Parfums that offer better performance at lower cost.
