Description
Villainess Vanilla is a soft, refreshing fragrance. This was made for someone who doesn’t need a fragrance to announce their presence, but compliment it. The opening is green, with the Cucumber leading the charge. The Bergamot, Black Currant, and Pineapple do not disappoint, by providing a boost to the refreshment factor. As the dry-down starts, the Fir Needle and Rose notes emerge, with the Lemon Verbena assisting in making both of these notes smooth, not harsh. As soon as you think the fragrance has sung it’s swan song, the Vanilla powers on, and on, and…

Where is the actual vanilla? All I get is sharp chemical soup.

I also received this as part of the Fragrantica giveaway.
To my nose, the initial lime and fir notes were a surprise, but not overwhelming at all.Then came the black current and pineapple and finally a drydown of musky rose.
Although this fragrance isn’t one I would normally choose, I can appreciate that a more fruity/rose admirer would like this one.

I received this fragrance as part of one of Fragrantica’s official giveaways. Thank you, Mr. Gallagher.
I find this one to be a little unusual among vanilla perfumes; I can smell not only the pineapple, but some of its acidity as well. While I’m not particularly fond of this one, there’s something to be said for vanillas that aren’t simply creamy cream.
Going by the contrast of the previous review, I wonder how much it varies batch-to-batch, because I’m not getting any rose whatsoever – it’s just acidic pineapple and vanilla for me.

This will be my third review of four of the fragrances I have bought from Gallagher Fragrances. The first reviewing being Bergamust which I am falling more in love with since I have reviewed it, the second being Liberalis Hortus.
This Scent for me wasn’t my cup of tea. I think its a well composed scent and is for sure more a women scent than it is a man scent. I think I will let my gf check this one out and I assume she will love it. The scent opens up very flowery and like roses. it has vanilla that comes through after a bit and becomes a very floral sweet scent that I would like to smell on a women, just not a man. I do think its a great scent and I wont rate it based on it not being for me, more for what I would rate this smelling it on my gf. Longevity and projection will be kept standard as I cant rate that based on me because its not coming from me.
I think this is a great scent for women more than men, while I am sure there are some guys who can rock this with no problem. My ratings on a scale of 1 to 10 are as follows:
Overall: 7.25 out of 10
Scent: 8
Projection: 7
Sillage: 7
Longevity:7
Good pick up for Women!
