A blast of alcohol followed by a whiff of biscuity vanilla. Impulse body sprays did it first (and, arguably, better)

Misses the boat somehow, the vanilla overridden by fermented fruit.

Vanille Passion is the best! I’m dyin’ to know if it’s the same as the Vanille by CSP that existed before Vanille Passion and Vanille Extreme.
I actually have 3 versions of this scent. One is the current one, the edP. It’s a simple dark pure tahitan vanilla bean. And the rest are the original Vanille Passion edT, in tin bottles. But there’s a small difference depending on the type of tin bottle:
If it has a sticker instead of partly printed logo it’s more sweet but more spicy, reminding you a lot of pumpkin spice and autumn. But with print logo it’s the same scent, but it also has this icecream-creamy-marshmallow-caramel-candy sweetness in it. This is my favourite reformulation.
Notes in this scent according to my source are: Vanilla(tahitan), Cacao, Coconut Oil, Cinnamon & Nutmeg. (I would definitely add the caramel in that one version!)
The new 2015 edP version with golden cap and glass bottle is a different Vanille Passion. It’s a lot less sweeter but lasts longer and is more of a raw kinda vanilla. It’s official notes: black and green vanilla pods and skin musk.
But to me they’re all 10/10, both edt&edp!
PS. Vanille Passion edT ith caramel is just like Vanilla – Vanille (the vintage one) by L’occitane! Great replacement even though Vanille Passion edT is discontinued as ell.

Wow @villey91 I didn’t know about the re-released version! This is my signature for years.. such a beautiful vanilla. Powdered sweetness just divine! I’m going to check out the re-issue I’m beyond excited!!

This fragrance has been re-released by CSP ! Now it’s an eau de Parfum.
This is not anything like Vanille Extreme. This is Pure Vanilla. Dark, boozy, plain and simple; vanilla pod. Notes are Black and Green Vanilla Pods and Musk. Vanilla pods are tahitian like all CSP’s vanillas.
This is not sugary at all. It really is just Vanilla, the same one you can smell when you’re cooking with vanilla extract. No essence, no spicyness, completely natural. It has even woodier feeling from green vanilla pod which I guess is the raw, fresh vanilla. The musk is pretty much just for the softening of the sharp vanillic tones, so you don’t notice musk in this too much.
Longevity is crazy, like 24 hours that’s why it’s an edP. But the sillage is very soft. You’ll get soft wafts of it during the time you’re wearing it but have to have your nose against your skin all the time if you want to smell it all the time. Very inoffensive but still recognizable!
I think Vanille Passion is perfect for layering and mixing up with other scents because it’s almost just one note so you can add vanilla to almost every perfume with this. Also it’s lovely on it’s own. But this kind of Vanilla is very hard to find. It’s not super unique but kinda and it’s high quality pure Vanilla and everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime so they know what vanilla is really all about.

vaniglia bourbon classica. resinosa e leggermente speziata. distante anni luce dalle vaniglie sintetiche mainstream. molto buona

I love it. Expected pure little bit chamical “body spray” type vanilla, but fortunately, it is not) Its smoky, little bit leathery even, big vanilla reminded me Shalimar. Good to use before sleeping, cause it makes you feel safe and calm.

As the name suggests, pure vanilla in this one! Warm, yummy, cookie like! I found it quite similar to Vanille Extreme and Vanille Abricot to be honest, and didn’t recognise any of the spices others are mentioning. Too bad because I was looking for a spicy vanilla, not a comforting one ( I already have Casmir to cover that part!)

Total pick me up. Smells like a warm kitchen, vanilla, cinnamon, spices. People tell me I smell like a toasty bakery.

After reading reviews of this smelling like vanilla extreme (also by csp) i purchased this. I do not think they smell all that similar, actually, but this one is lovely. Vanilla extreme is cake, vanilla passion is more of a refined and mature vanilla. I really like it!
as for the tihota comparison, I agree- it is somewhat similar, but they are different and great in different ways. Of course almost every amazing vanilla gets discontinued, there are 2 good examples of that.

Apparently CSP has changed the formula of this a few times, got mine today and am not too sure how happy I am with this one. I can’t seem to smell it unless I press my nose up against my skin… At first spray it smells a little synthetic/alcholic but this disappears pretty quickly, once this is gone it isn’t unpleasant, kind of floral, and there does seem to be a cocoa-type note which makes it smell slightly masculine on my skin. Not exactly what I was expecting, it doesn’t scream vanilla to me but will probs still wear it. Might try the older version, ‘Vanille’ if I can find it, failing that, Vanille Extreme.

Is it just me, or does it smell a bit nutmeg-ish?:S I don’t know what to say about this other than it smells very Christamasy.

I seem to be the exception here-This fragrance smelled cloying, and weird to me-There was a note of coconut oil going bad-This was a big bad surprise,
more of a “no way!” reaction than a disappointment-surprisingly disappointing.
My ideal vanilla would smell light, natural and not very sweet-nothing like this. I am not sure where to look for such a scent, since this is supposed to be a classic, reliable vanilla.
This smells like bad suntan lotion and sugary vanilla cake with lots of dried coconut.
But maybe Vanille Passion will smell more vanilla, and more passionate on your skin?

Love it! This is one of my faves from the Comptoir Sud line. Warm and soft without being too overbearing – and not chemically or cheap smelling like some vanillas on the market.
EUGEN1957 – :
I love Vanilla Passion. While Vanille Extreme has more of a sweet, bakery note to this, this is just pure, sweet Tahitian vanilla. Soft, exotic, a tad sexy but UNFORTUNATELY, the lasting power of a body spray. You want a similar smelling vanilla that will actually last the day? Grab a bottle of Molindard’s Vanille (in the blue bottle) – best vanilla ever.

Ordered 4 CSP unsniffed, 2nd one to review. While Vanille Extreme is like slightly toasted-sugar-vanilla-swirl this one is more like straight up pure vanilla bean. They are very similar but I love them both! The smell is not strong but it sure does last. I could still smell Vanille Extreme on me this morning!

Very nice vanilla with a hefty dose of cinnamon, smelling rather like a cinnamon donut. Yummy.

This is very comfortable vanilla.
