MIX:BAR Perfume for Women - Vanilla Bourbon Fragrance - Eau de Parfum Spray - Notes of Sandalwood, Vanilla Bean, Jasmin, Bergamot, 1.7oz

This perfume smells exactly like the Dossier formulation for their Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille dupe, like one to one. I own the Dossier version in addition to this vanilla bourbon and can confirm they're identical with zero differences. So if you don't want to spend 30 dollars plus shipping on the Dossier one (and don't want to drop over 200+ on the Tom Ford) just buy this because it's literally the same thing. The projection and power of the scent is incredible, I only sprayed a single spray on my wrist this afternoon before going out yet everyone has commented on it or asked what I'm wearing because it's that powerful so I would say you don't need to spray much for it to be effective. It also dries down much faster than other perfumes in my collection which is a plus if you're impatient like me and don't like waiting for dry down/hate oil based perfumes that never dry. The longevity is also impressive, it doesn't lose its oomph even after a few hours; it still smells like I just sprayed my wrist five minutes ago despite it being several hours ago now.Just buy it if you're reading reviews and debating on the purchase, you won't be disappointed. I haven't smelled any of the so called "sickly sweet childish vanilla" notes other reviews mentioned either. It smells very adult, slightly seductive, and complex while also being a realistic daily scent. I would also describe it as more unisex than strictly as a perfume for women because of those smokey/tobacco notes, my boyfriend made the comment that it was a scent he would wear regardless of the bottle specifying women. One thing to note is that it is not a boozey vanilla like Angels Share by Killian is. To label it bourbon is extremely incorrect to me, and possibly why some on here have said it gave them a headache and wasn't at all what they thought the scent would be. Again, that tobacco/smokey note is very dominant so if you spray too much I can definitely understand it triggering a headache or migraine. I am slightly disappointed in the bottle size, but for the price it is realistic so keep that in mind if you're expecting a big bottle of perfume.

I honestly wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this fragrance—but this right here? It’s a whole mood. The scent is rich and smooth like a warm vanilla latte with a sultry bourbon twist. Sweet, but not childish. Sexy, but still classy. And the longevity? Wild. I sprayed it in the morning and could still smell it on my hoodie that night. No joke.I’ve worn it around the house, on errands, and even while holding a baby and still managed to turn heads. My husband’s vibe has shifted since I started wearing this more often…The bottle feels luxe, the packaging is beautiful, and it layers perfectly with other scents if you want to experiment. But honestly? It’s stunning all on its own.If you’re looking for a signature scent that smells delicious, wears like a high-end perfume, and makes you feel irresistible this is it. I would 1000% recommend this and would LOVE to review more from MIX:BAR. I definitely appreciate the value of this product.

I don’t pick up the bourbon at all but! I do love this scent! There’s definitely a sweet vanilla going on but not overtly vanilla it’s a unique vibe, for sure. Some pick up slight smoke notes. I don’t. I don’t tend to care for Smokey notes. But I love this. It does have a surprising depth to it given the price point - so maybe it’s a subtle smoke that contributes to the whole presentation without being ostentatious.It’s sweet but I don’t feel it aligns with my gourmand collection so it’s not bakery vanilla at all. It’s very feminine but not floral. It’s not a clean scent. It’s very lovely and comforting. But like I said - it’s sweet. Longevity isn’t really there but that’s standard for $20 fragrances. Just reapply after 3 hours. Personally I feel it’s inoffensive because it isn’t loud.My mom either never notices my fragrances or doesn’t like most of them - she rarely says anything about them. When I wore this - she was a big fan right away and said it smelled amazing.I layer it with kuumba made vanilla bean lotion. They fit so well. You’re welcome.I LOVE that it’s available on Amazon. I rarely got to target so this was a cool find. Will repurchase for sure. I’m on my 3rd bottle and will always have some on hand.Highly recommend!

I love love loveee this perfume ! It smells so good and the dry down is amazing . Good to pair with bodyspray or other perfume. Lasts about 4 hours

It has good balance of masculine and feminine scent, but it dries down more feminine. I spray this on as the last layer for my other vanilla scents. I think its worth a try if you are a vanilla girlie. I pair it with that EOS lotion as well.

Worth it for the price!! Lasts me about 4-6 hours but if you spritz during a break, you’ll get compliments all day long. Smells lovely though!

I’m always on the hunt for a really good vanilla scent and the reviews and descriptions of this perfume seemed like EXACTLY what I was looking for — something warm, beautiful, and comforting without being sickly frosting sweet. I was excited to get this but after smelling it I’m confused because it doesn’t smell like vanilla at all. It smells extremely floral. If I smell hard enough it’s like there’s almost the scent of vanilla, but not really, and I’m not sure if maybe I’m just hoping that into existence or if it’s actually there. I’ve had other people smell it too and they couldn’t even guess it was vanilla. The bottle is pretty and it seems nice quality… just not at all what I was wanting. Since all of the reviews are so glowing and detailed about the vanilla scent I don’t know if I got a bad batch or if maybe somehow they put the wrong perfume in the bottle? I’m not sure but whatever it is, I’m disappointed that I can’t return this and would strongly suggest smelling this before buying if you can. Hope this helps!~Phoebe Stark
