Vanilla, milk and a little chocolate
Pendora Scents Dusky Vanilla is a Parfum that opens with pink pepper, lemon and chocolate, puts milk, benzoin and jasmine in the heart, and finishes on vanilla, sandalwood and sugar. FragranceGems describes it as soft, sweet and creamy. Vanilla perfumes vary widely in how sweet they feel, which is what a sample can settle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is unusual for a vanilla perfume: pink pepper and lemon are set beside chocolate. The pepper and lemon give a little sparkle before the sweetness arrives. See how long that edge lasts on you before the creamier notes take the lead.
The heart adds a soft, creamy layer with milk, benzoin and jasmine. Milk brings smoothness, benzoin a resinous sweetness and jasmine a floral note. This is the stretch that FragranceGems calls creamy, and it is where you judge how milky the Parfum feels.
Vanilla, sandalwood and sugar form a warm, sweet finish. The sandalwood gives a woody softness beneath the sugar, so the result is rounder than a plain sweet vanilla. Give the base time on the skin, because that is the part you will mostly be wearing.
Testing it
Wear it on a cool day or evening, on clean skin, and smell your wrist at the start and then several times later without applying more. Try it once in the evening and once in daytime, since creamy vanilla can feel cosy at night and heavier under bright light.
For anyone who likes soft, sweet, creamy Parfums with vanilla and a floral touch, for daily wear and evenings in autumn and winter. The tags at FragranceGems say women and moderate. If you prefer dry or fresh scents, the sample shows whether this one is too sugary.
Vanilla is a note everyone thinks they know, yet milk, chocolate and sugar around it can push it in very different directions. Each decant is drawn from the original bottle by FragranceGems and the label is ours, so it is not an official brand sample, and the house of Pendora Scents has no part in it.

Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.

Sugar and chocolate are named in the pyramid, so sweetness is central. Pink pepper and lemon at the top and sandalwood at the base give it some structure. A sample shows how it feels.
Yes, milk is named in the heart together with benzoin and jasmine. It gives the middle its creamy feel, which you can only judge by wearing it.
Daily and evening wear in autumn and winter is what FragranceGems has on record. Trying it by day shows whether the creaminess works in ordinary light.
The brand
29 perfumes by Pendora Scents: that is our current list of samples from this house. The samples are our own decants: 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled from the original bottle and labelled by us. Pendora Scents belongs to the Arabic perfume samples on DecantGems. Wearing a perfume for a few days is the fair way to judge it, and that is what a decant is for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
