Community sentiment on Spiritueuse Double Vanille is divided between devoted fans who find it divine and disappointed buyers expecting a more pronounced gourmand experience. A significant concern is the apparent reformulation or batch variation causing noticeably weaker performance compared to older bottles, with some reporting only 4 hours of longevity versus the original's superior lasting power.
Strengths
- Complex boozy, incensey vanilla with good juiciness when fresh
- Versatile and appropriate for various occasions
- Vintage bottles perform exceptionally well with strong longevity
- Unique and memorable for those who connect with it
Weaknesses
- Weak projection and longevity, especially in recent batches (4 hours or less)
- Lighter color and reduced performance compared to older formulations
- Disappointing to those expecting a more intoxicating gourmand vanilla
- Sharp woody/spicy notes may overshadow the vanilla for some
