Incorrectly advertised: no vanilla ice-cream, only the waffle cone.
Ok when layered with raspberry for the first 30 min.
The dry down is quite salty, slightly burnt and sweaty. In short, unpleasant.

This is straight-up generic vanilla ice cream …the store brand, the kind that tries for a buttery flavor and ends up being a bit salty. No vanilla bean that I can detect. Still, a fun scent.

I’d looked at Demeters online before I was really aware of or interested in perfume, so when I came across a tester for this in a shop I quite happily scooped it up and gave my wrist a spray.
It would turn out to be a regrettable decision. And possibly an explanation for why the Demeters where all sitting on a shelf off to the side of the locked glass cabinets with their sample bottles of Dior, Gucci, and the like.
I did not smell anything like vanilla ice cream. It smelled like something sweet, burnt, perhaps with a touch of the waffle you might put (in this case non-existent) ice cream in. My mum turned her nose up and said it smelled like Elnett hair spray. At first I kind of liked it, even though it wasn’t what I had expected from the label, but that changed.
Before long I wished I wasn’t wearing it – not even Rochas Tocade, that makes me feel a bit queasy, has done that. Tocade remains a well-crafted scent that can easily be described as ‘pleasant’, even by me. The same cannot be said for this; it felt very cheap and unpleasant.
It wasn’t something I can ever imagine wanting to smell like again.
Did I just pick up a tester that had turned, misleading any hopeful would-be buyer into running away from anything Demeter again? I’d have to try again to find out.
Strength — Quite strong, from what I recall.
Longevity — Not sure, it certainly stuck around longer than I would have liked. I think it took a good few hours to stop smelling it?

The key is not to take this one too seriously…
Yes its a short lasting, silly vanilla waffle cone scent, but oh its fun to play with…:)
For an experiment…I put this on at work a little before people started taking break times. I did this for 5 consecutive days…
There were 9 ice-creams purchased that week! Kid you not. The week before there were 4. The week after I finished there were 5.
Yes…I looked like a stalker in the tea-room…
Worth it though 🙂
L: Weak
S: Moderate
Make your workplace your playground hehehehehe

this is way too sweet to be a smooth milky vanilla ice cream scent. it’s more of a really, and I mean reallly sugar packed waffle cone smell. a miss in this case! don’t blind buy

Sweet strong Vanilla cream, but also there’s some sort of bread, waffle cone note as well, like a Vanilla ice cream cone. It’s a bit distracting. I wish the milk note was more noticeable but I can’t detect it.

I also smell cotton candy (maybe the sweet note?) and I smell coconut. Not lasting but projects decently.

This smells like vanilla, but not particularly cool to my nose. More warm, with a lot of honey to it. I just don’t get the ice cream part, though it’s a perfectly pleasant vanilla. Not synthetic or harsh at all.

There’s a wafer note which I swear is just like that rain on pavement scent that I love, but I only notice it on first spritz then its just cold vanilla.

If Demeter’s Vanilla Cake Batter is a warm vanilla, their Vanilla Ice Cream is a cool vanilla. I personally like the warmer vanilla more. I do have to say, this is surprisingly authentic – it even has a slight freezer smell! If you want to smell like an ice cream shop, grab this one! 😉

Heavy sickly sweet vanilla
tuev.artur – :
This smells sooo good!!! I feel it smells like caremel popcorn more than Vanilla Ice Cream… It’s pretty weak in longevity and sillage… But it’s Yummy, so whatever!!

It’s a gourmand for sure, and in my opinion, a sickening one at that.
Vanilla Ice Cream is really strong on the vanilla. If you’ve ever smelt vanilla essence straight from the bottle, it kind of smells like that. It’s the strong, chemical and syrupy vanilla, not the light, sugary and white vanilla we’re used to.
After the top notes settle, there is an obvious caramel note which kind of draws away from the vanilla ice cream that Demeter is attempting to re-create.
By the drydown, this smells like a vanilla flavoured milkshake, not ice cream.
Like most Demeter scents, this fragrance is pretty weak in both sillage and lasting strength. I’ve come to the conclusion that it may be difficult to re-create vanilla ice cream in all its icy foodiness. For starters it’s a hard scent to describe.
