Madagascar Vanilla vs Cheirosa '71

The community consensus on Madagascar Vanilla is lukewarm, with the main complaint being that it smells nothing like vanilla despite the name - instead delivering coconut, buttered popcorn, and nutty notes. While some appreciate the buttery aspect for layering purposes, most users felt disappointed by blind-buying and recommend testing in-store first before committing to a purchase.

Cheirosa '71 is a beloved gourmand fragrance praised for its deliciously sweet, cookie-like scent and strong performance, making it a favorite among gourmand enthusiasts. However, the community consensus is that it's far too intense and persistent for office or professional settings, and its heavy sweetness is polarizing - some adore it while others find it cloying and fatiguing to wear.
