I agree, mford89 — you “can’t trust paid for reviews”. Which is why it’s important to pay attention to what peer reviewers are saying and have a glance over their favs, so you get a hint of what they enjoy. There was never any intention, on my part, to mslead you and I’m sorry if you feel that way.
This fragrance is beautiful. It is a deeply resinous, musky, pulpy vanilla, with undercurrents of cumin, cardemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. It’s a virtual spice cake for your skin, although, there’s a subtle woodsiness in it that makes me think of “home”. But it is strong. I don’t think I gave the impression, at all, that this was a cupcake vanilla. In fact, I thought it was perfect for sophisticated noses that crave real vanilla bean — not milky washes of buttercream, not cookie dough vanilla hints or sandalwood cream vanilla, but husky, musky vanilla pod. That’s why I thought it was so unique.Cardamom and cumin, in particular, can be overwhelming if overapplied. But if just a hint is put on, “Mejica” will give the impression of skin in the sun and crushed vanilla pod. I’m sorry you were disappointed, mford89 and I think maybe you should try it again but apply very little and spread that around. On me, the staying power is impressive and lasts throughout the day and overnight. I think this was just a classic example of two, very different skin reactions and for some reason, it seems as if the cardamom was moe pronounced on you than on me.

Do not trust paid for reviews. I am here to warn you on this disgusting scent. Pay heed and listen!
This perfume is absolutely horrid. I read many great reviews on this product, and sadly decided it was worth the risk to buy blind. DO NOT make the same mistake I did, because even though this is not as described, the seller will not allow any returns. This perfume has zero vanilla smell to it. ZERO. In fact, I will lay it out for you like this: it smells like grandma’s house two weeks after Christmas, but she has been dead for the past two weeks and there is spoiled eggnog sitting on the table. Yes, it smells like a rotting, vial pile of cinnamon and vomit. I am trying to warn everyone out there, because I don’t want you to be $70 in the hole on a product you will never use, or even give to anyone else. Be warned, and get a sample if you are still stuck on it. Oh, and the nasty smell only lasts ONE HOUR at the most. Great huh?

I can’t top guest_A.rose’s review. I’m just here to agree times one million.
Its a TINY bottle, but it is USDA Certified Organic. Its animal cruelty free and vegan! Its quite lovely. I’m in the “cinnamon/cumin” stage right now… devine! I love that the bottle has a little roller ball to apply this oily heavenly scent.
OH! And, the box is infused w/flower seeds so that you can bury it (box and all) in the ground in spring and enjoy the flowers that come forth from it in summer. For us hippie types, this whole organic thing is great, and the box-cum-seed-packet is just added cool (or shall I say “groovy”?). LatherandLace.com has flower seed tags on some of the lotion and soap gift sets and I like that this trend is growing.
The directions say apply liberally, and I’d have to agree. It wears close, and dims pretty quick. So, for the price, and the low quantity, and the short lived scent, you’d really be splurging on this one. But you know what? You are worth it! Life is short. Support this perfume artist and her passion to stay true and go organic.

mford89 has no nose. And I really hope I am not being accused of being “paid” to review this. I really like it. Its ALL NATURAL… get a clue…
I still love this one. I wear it mostly to bed, on my wrists, and snuggle up to myself (lol) and sniff… cozy, warm, dreamy.
