The perfect vanilla for those who want a simplistic tooth achingly sweet vanilla without being irritatingly sweet if that makes sense!
The best and closest comparison in terms of the type of vanila that i would make and bearing in mind that Sucre Noir is superior in quality, longevity and sillage is: Alyssa Ashley Vanilla.
Sucre Noir is not a caramel, boozy, musky, floral or fruity vanilla. This is a straight up sugary sweet vanilla. No creamy milkiness but just a simple high quality non complex scent that remains fairly similar from start to finish with fabulous sillage as well as longevity. Its truly beautiful but in small doses if you are sensitive to vanilla fragrances.

Best vanilla ever! This is what I have been searching for… for years. Yes, it is a little bit expensive, but worth every penny. And it is an extract so you don’t need much of it.
I get a lot of compliments on it, even from complete strangers.

Cotton candy.
Sugar coated cotton candy. Very sugary and vanillic.
It’s fair but there are much better fragrance with this concept.

I don’t know what it is, but this is the most beautiful vanilla fragrance I have ever smelled. So cozy, rich and long lasting. On my skin is absolutely wonderful. Maybe is the orchid, maybe is the sugarcane… I wanna hug it and taste it, at the same time. So beautiful. It can be mixed with any fragrance. Tip: if is stronger than the fragrance you are mixing it with, spray it first. If you wanna mix it with something very strng, spray it after the stronger one.

Incredible quality fragrance. Super rich vanilla!!! Much richer than Il Profumi di Firenze Vaniglia de Madagascar, Indult Tihota, Profumo Vanille Bourbon, Montale Vanille Absolu. Stunning! It has the same pure vanilla concept as the other ones but again, way intense, way richer.
With that said – it is also the sweetest of the bunch! A sugar bomb! Please keep this in mind if blind buying.

I want this more than anything else in the world (well, I’d really like worldwide peace, but….). Can someone please tell me how to get some? I’ve written an email to the address someone shared below but haven’t gotten a response. I’m about to have another back surgery and want to get this as a recovery present for myself but I’m running out of time! Can someone help? I’m in the US. I’ve checked at Lucky Scent, on eBay, Amazon, etc. I also check regularly here in the swap section though I’m sure no one would want to give theirs up in a swap, lol! I’ve tested so many vanillas but not this one and so of course, it’s this one I obsess over! I’d be so grateful if someone could tell me a way to get a bottle. Thanks so much!

I love this fragrance so much, that I struggled to find the right thing to say.
This is, like Penguin said, a Holy Grail vanilla scent. I am a gourmand lover, and I’ve participated in all of the vanilla themed weeks called Vanillapalooza. I’ve worn vanillas since I was little, and it’s one of my favorite notes. I feel like I “know” vanillas and let me tell you that this one sweeps me off my feet.
The notes sound simple, but the effect is deep and decadent, thick and rich. I wore it as my “third date” perfume last night. I am really beginning to like this guy and I wanted something super feminine that stood out. I wanted something simple and comforting, but also beautiful and inviting. This was absolutely perfect!! It’s the kind of perfume that says, “I’m all woman. I’m warm, and soft, strong, beautiful and sexy as hell.” This perfume turns heads, but most importantly, made my date keep sniffing my wrists again and again saying, “Wow, that smells amazing!”
This is thicker and richer than VC&A Orchidee Vanille, deeper and more vanillafied than I Profumi di Firenze Vaniglia de Madagascar, and sweeter than Indult Tihota. It has the same silage and sweetness as Profumum Roma Acqua et Zucchero. It’s similar in feel to Il Profumo Vanille Bourbon, but with an orchid and floral vanilla bean rather than the bourbon vanilla beans in Vanille Bourbon.

Thanks for the orchid info, Megrim! That was educational and helpful…I know I learned something, anyway! 🙂 What did you think of Sucre Noir?
Berengaria, I am not sure if you can buy it in the UK, but I know you can’t in the US. I ordered direct by emailing info @ arteprofumi.it and paying via Paypal. If you email them and ask, they may even send you samples! I have yet to be disappointed with the quality of ANYTHING from this house, having now blind-bought four of their fragrances. 🙂

Just a quick note to the reviewer below me – Vanilla is actually a species of orchid, so in this case, Orchid is entirely accurate ^_^
I keep a wide variety of orchids, and many of them have a strong vanilla note to their flowers.
There’s even a few fragrances out there that people complain of having a ‘synthetic, rubbery vanilla’ note in them, (Sweet Oriental Dream by Montale comes to mind), when in fact many orchids in many families possess exactly this scent. Like a combination of hot balloon and vanilla.
More puzzling to me are perfumes that simply list ‘orchid’ as a generic note. Orchid blooms can smell like almost anything – from rosey, to lemon, to rubber, tar, rotting meat and beyond!. I have a particular orchid that blooms with the unmistakable odour of coconut.
I’ll stop rambling now.

This scent is absolutely gorgeous. I would put it up there with Indult Tihota as a “Holy Grail” vanilla. However, I personally don’t smell any of the listed orchid, and when I asked my contact at Arte Profumi what the main notes were, she said, “sugar, vanilla, and vanilla flower.”
In any case, this is pure sugary vanilla sweetness, and it is yum, yum, and YUM! It never fails to garner compliments, and the sillage can be as soft or as strong as you want it to be (depending on how much you spray). But as sweet as it is, it is not cloying or offensive. In fact, one of my male co-workers who has NEVER commented on ANYONE’s perfume in six years walked into the room where I was and said, “What is that smell? Did someone bring cupcakes?” I said no, but it might be my perfume. He smelled my wrist and said, “That’s it! That smells amazing! Just like a white cupcake with vanilla frosting.”
And that pretty much describes this simple, yet so beautifully composed fragrance. I also enjoyed other reviewers’ comparisons to vanilla-infused sugar…I have never tried that, but I imagine it must taste just like Sucre Noir smells.
The longevity is amazing on this scent, and it also layers well because of its pure organic sweetness. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.

I often use whole vanilla beans in my baking and candy making. After scrapping the “caviar” out of the pod I toss the left over in a mason jar of sugar. This perfume smells exactly like my jar of vanilla infused sugar.
This is excellent quality juice, longevity is great and the sillage is wonderful. The comments from other people standing around me are priceless. Everybody thinks someone is cooking, they never assume it is a perfume.
Also, you can’t over spray. The other day I was in a little pain and went nuts, spritzing myself like 10 times with this juice (I didn’t leave my house that day). It didn’t smell weird like some perfumes when you spray too much, it just projected more than normal.
_____________________________
After a side-by-side comparison with Tihota, I noticed there is a soft touch of a powdery flower in Sucre Noir and it also smells sweeter. They both have that cotton candy vanilla (ethyl maltol?), but Tihota smells like it has a bit of a grounding, robust bourbon vanilla in it and SN has a flower that makes it feel light and fluffy.
No musky smell in SN like the one present in Tihota- which reminded me of Narciso Rodriguez for her.
SN also seems more concentrated, the initial alcohol “burns off” quicker, and it’s longevity and sillage is stronger than Tihotas.

This is a gorgeous, thick, rich, but extremely simple vanilla. It smells like the vanilla-infused sugar I handmade by taking two full vanilla bean pods, splitting them open, and pouring pure white cane sugar over them in a jar, shaking gently and then sitting in a dark cupboard for a few months. Pure sugary vanilla sweetness. While the notes list orchid, I do not get it here like in the unsurpassed Van Cleef Vanille Orchidee. Some of my favorites like Tihota – more creamy – or Memoire Liquide Amour Liquide – more nutty – are quite similar. There are many to choose from, but you should add this to your search for the best, uncomplicated vanilla.
