I think Memoirs of a Trespasser has red pilled me on vanilla. Normally I find it distasteful, something about it is always too sickly sweet or awkward when combined with the other notes in the frags I've tried. This actually keeps the vanilla pretty mellow and blends it with the guaiacwood and oak to create a kind of roasted marshmallow smell that I find rather enjoyable. A bitter undercurrent runs beneath it as well from the myrrh and ambrette and it keeps the whole thing grounded. Overall, I really liked it and it has made me consider the versatility of vanilla a lot more. Lasts long too, 3 sprays had me going for about 7 hours. I recommend it fully.
