DUA's version of both Escapade Gourmand & Tihota is better than the originals to me. I'm going to grab the Genre versions during the next ordering window, to compare & find the best dupe for me b/c I won't be getting the OGs.
@simona5491 guuuurl, I bought 2 backups of Vanillac Dreams during this last opening! I put (layer) that sh▪︎t on everything, like it's Frank's hot sauce! 🤣🤣 It's better than Tihota to me. Tihota is too simple and light of a fragrance for the price tag.
@simona5491 I just backed up Gourmand Escape, too, because my current bottle is almost empty! 🤣 I use scent splint for decants. It's still a little pricey b/c I like to get at least 5mls, so I can do a proper wear test, but they def save you money in the long run!
I have the dapper versions of EG and Tihota and also prefer those to the originals! Especially for lasting power. I've heard so many mixed things about Dua but I will try puffletuft at some point
I'm glad you talked about the sampling cost. I think that's why people take a blind buy risk. Rather take the chance on getting a full bottle of something you love than sampling 5 things you don't, or even if you do like one, you just have a few ml of it.
As a Vanilla Lover!!!! I absolutely agree with you. This fragrance at its price point is a Basic Vanilla. It is good for layering and for that reason I purchased the perfume oil version from Fragrantbodyoilz
This is the exact vanilla you don’t like. I heard it smells like baking vanilla (vanilla extract).You can always trade or sale them in your perfume group :)
I love the scent of this fragrance but it just doesn’t project the way I want it to. I have tried to layer it with other fragrances but I find that the other fragrances overpower this one. I still wear it because I do like the scent. I have been complimented on it also so it must be projecting more than I think. I have the same issue with Lira. Smells amazing but projection is super weak for me.

I love DUA’s versions! I finally got my hands on Vanillac Dreams .

@ I haven’t tried OG Tihota but I would sample it to compare. A Gourmand Escape I’m halfway done with it !

I like Fragrantbodyoilz version of this I purchased the concentrated perfume oil spray

I have the Genre Parfums version, Mello Vanillo, and love it. It does have to sit for a while.
We appreciate you taking one for the team to test out these samples!
Haha and I was just saying in my new video am I gona keep doing that lol
Same here!!! I didn't get the hype of this fragrance.... and I LOVE Vanilla perfumes.
Genre Parfumes has a great dupe of this one if you can catch the ordering window
i have the Dua version and use it when i want an added sweetness to my layering combo. it smells more like sugar to me than vanilla.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes, the scent isn't worth the price...to me and I love vanilla.
Gourmande Escapade smells good when it sits for a bit …. I didn’t like it at first but now I do! The price point is a bit much for it though

Escapade is nice but I won't buy it bc it doesn't last. The dapper version is identical and lasts much better.
I LOVE vanilla and I own this but will say it is not one of my favorites:)
I always see it layered for that price I shouldn't need to layer you. It's overpriced
