Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Vanilla Bean Dream by Barrett Fragrances is a unisex perfume created for those who love vanilla not only in a dessert-like form, but also in an elegant, multifaceted interpretation.
This eau de parfum has a distinctive character and a very powerful sillage: the fragrance is noticeable in the air, lingers on the skin for a long time and unfolds especially beautifully in cool weather.
The composition belongs to the citrus and floral families, although its mood is not limited to freshness or softness.
Vanilla Bean Dream combines a sparkling opening, a soft floral heart and a rich, warm base.
As a result, the fragrance feels cozy, seductive and slightly airy at the same time — an excellent choice for lovers of noticeable gourmand compositions without a strict gender association.
The opening minutes are devoted to a citrus accord: bergamot and lemon bring light, freshness and a touch of pleasantly piquant bitterness to the composition.
Then the fragrance becomes rounder and creamier, while orchid and Bourbon vanilla emerge at its heart.
In the drydown, tonka beans and musk join the sweet vanilla theme, creating a soft, warm and exceptionally long-lasting sillage.
On the skin, Vanilla Bean Dream can be especially appealing in autumn, winter and the transitional seasons, when dense vanilla and musky nuances unfold most expressively.
The fragrance is well suited to evening outings, dates, festive occasions and those days when you want to add a sensual touch to your look.
In summer, it is best applied sparingly, especially in hot weather: its intense sillage can quickly fill a space.
The composition was created by Ross Barrett, a perfumer and the brand's owner.
In this release, his approach is reflected in the desire to combine a vivid citrus accent with a rich vanilla base while preserving the composition's floral softness and contemporary versatility.
The precise dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified for this fragrance, so it is best to start with one or two sprays on the skin and assess its development after a few minutes.
When applying it to fabric, take care and choose an inconspicuous area, especially if the material is delicate. No alternative concentrations of Vanilla Bean Dream are listed in the database.
If you are interested in rich vanilla, floral and musky compositions, take a look at Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil, Van Cleef & Arpels Birmane and Clive Christian No 1 Feminine.
They may appeal to fans of a pronounced sillage, warm base notes and fragrances that noticeably change as they unfold.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition opens with bergamot and lemon, creating a fresh, radiant and slightly sparkling start.
Orchid and bourbon vanilla emerge at the heart, adding floral softness, creamy sweetness and a sensual touch.
The base is built around tonka bean and musk, making the dry-down warm, rounded and long-lasting. Overall, the pyramid combines citrus, floral, spicy and musky nuances.
The fragrance evolves from light freshness into a rich vanilla trail.
