A Week of Vanillas: Memoire Liquide Creme de Vanille #204

This is the third review in a five-part series looking at several different lovely vanilla options available to perfumistas. 
Memoire Liquide Creme de Vanille #204

Creme de Vanille isn’t intended by the Bespoke line to be more than a single note ingredient in the Memoire Liquide repertoire you can use to design your own bespoke fragrance if you’ve got access to one of their two modern-day apothecary locations (NYC or LA) and, of course, the cash. If you’re interested in such perfumery magicks, you should check out Jessica’s piece on her experience. I ended up getting a sample of it solo from The Perfumed Court and have worn it as such, so I decided to review it as a stand alone fragrance regardless. 
Initially this is a coconut kind of vanilla, less foody than Vanille Bourbon, but still more food-y than Vanille Exquise. After the immediate initial handful of sniffs the coconut is replaced by a sort of woody vanilla, with a sweet cherry undertone. It conjures in my mind a vanilla vodka martini with two cherries and a sprig of vanilla flowers on a woody stalk as garnish. The sweetness is like the sweetness of honey, not sugary like that of a vanilla cake. It has good staying power without being a big scent or a heavy scent like Vanille Bourbon. Creme de Vanille provides an interesting, lighter option for someone who wants a gourmand that is less sweet than Vanille Bourbon.
