I sampled this the other day and it immediately reminded me of “By the Fireplace” except that the longevity here is superior. Go easy on the trigger; this one’s a beast.

Gallagher Fragrances Vanilla Silk is a simple exploration of vanilla and how it can be mixed with woods effectively. As the other reviewer points out, it smells a bit like vanilla mixed with musk and guaiac wood, soft and delicate relative to the vanilla but still providing some grounded woodiness.
Vanilla Silk’s non-vanilla elements can be a little difficult to pin down, but they’re not really cedar or incense (that would remind me of L’Occitane Eau Des Baux) nor a more complex offering (like Le Labo Vanille 44, which is also exorbitantly expensive).
The guaiac characterization really hits the heart of it—a sweet, soft wood, and it blends very well with the vanilla, which isn’t a deep bourbon vanilla but rather a more floral vanilla that pairs with the wood in a year-round-friendly fashion.
The pricing in the Silk series is a little lower than the main catalog of Gallagher perfumes, so at $100 for 100ml, Vanilla Silk is reasonable to acquire.
Performance is very good, better than average a moderately-priced EDP.
This is likely my single favorite offering from the Gallagher house thus far. Very well done.

In art, the Modernist movement distills realism to its fundamental, framework, structure. While I’d expected a Vanilla soli-note here, there is unmistakable Gaiac. On my skin, it’s a combination of M. Micallef’s Gaiac without the abundance of woods; and Dame’s Dark Horse less bergamot-cinnamon. It’s a minimalist showcase of the most important aspects of the marriage of Vanilla & Gaiac.
I had the lowest expectations on Vanilla Silk (out of sample pack) due to personal preference, but am positively *enchanted* by its beauty. This is a keeper!
