vanilla perfume

Vanilla is a fragrance that most ladies love, it is a beautiful scent and is perfect for any occasion. Lovely for a bright sunny day, elegant for night occasions, even just to put on when you feel like a pick me up. It is quite a universal fragrance but there are many imitation vanilla fragrances out there and you can usually tell the difference between imitation vanilla and true vanilla. I find that imitation vanilla has a sour smell to it and doesn't have the nice smooth flowing fragrance of true vanilla. Generally you will get imitation vanilla in supermarkets and cheap shops, true vanilla should be bought from a perfume store or specialty shops like The Body shop who specialise in true fragrances.
