    Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

    Thank you for your advice. I'll be requesting a sample of that as well. *fingers crossed*

    Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

    I just received my oils today: Blood Kiss Jack Sherezade Blood Countess Dracul Silk Road I nearly dropped dead when I experienced Dracul because it is was unlike anything I was expecting. It is incredible! My two favorites of the remaining are Blood Countess and Silk Road. They smell wonderful on me. While I like Sherazade, it literally smells like I've rubbed an incense cone on me - which is not bad, but it is 'smokier' than I would have liked. It really takes you away. I am on the hunt for the perfect Vanilla. About five years ago there was a woman who had a website - Samrah's Spicebox, and she had an oil called 'Caliph'. It was the best vanilla based oil I have ever come across because it wasn't weak nor light, but a spicy, gutsy vanilla with cloves, cinnamon and something else that made it very dark and commanding. I want to say tobacco, but I can't be sure'. It evoked visions of a veiled woman baking spiced vanilla cakes in the Caliph's tent while coffee was being brewed and pipes filled with aromatic tobacco were being smoked. It would be what she smelled like if she leaned close to you to serve you some of her cakes and you could smell the sweetness of them and the residue of tobacco and coffee on her clothes. God, I hope I'm making sense, but I can't describe it as well as I can see it *chuckles* It would be a 'foody' fragrance (spiced vanilla cakes being the dominant aroma) with the richness of an old world 'Arabian Nights' style tobacco and good strong coffee. I was married in that fragrance 11 years ago, and having moved since then, I lost the contact information for Samrah and her website has been long gone. If someone can point me in the right direction on this site as to which oil might come close, I would be grateful until the end of time because it seems that I've been searching for a replacement for just as long. I will close with saying that I am thrilled that I found a site like this where the creators literally create fragrances of unsurpassed quality, and I will be here (and broke) for a long time Thanks to you all in advance for your help.
