Manel | Dubai Perfume – Sexy Vanilla (Fragrance World)
N$350.00
The fragrance Fragrance World “Sexy Vanilla” is marketed as being inspired by Tom Ford’s “Vanilla Sex”.
Here’s a detailed rundown of Fragrance World – “Sexy Vanilla”, including scent profile, best use-cases, strengths & things to watch.
📝 Overview
Sexy Vanilla is a unisex fragrance (designed for both men and women) by Fragrance World, launched around 2024.
It belongs to the gourmand/vanilla family, heavily leaning into vanilla + almond with woody and creamy accords.
🎨 Scent Profile & Notes
From the sources:
Top note: Bitter almond (or “almond amère”).
Heart (middle): Vanilla and floral notes.
Base notes: Vanilla absolute (or “ultra-vanilla”), tonka bean, sandalwood.
In one description:
“The combination of vanilla absolute, ultravanil, tonka bean and sandalwood gives the fragrance a creamy, exotic and irresistibly sexy warmth.”
So you can expect an opening with a bit of nutty almond edge, a rich sweet-vanilla floral heart, and a warm creamy woody base.
🎯 Wear & Occasion Suggestions
Because of its gourmand & sweet profile, it might shine best in the evening, for nights out, special occasions, cooler weather.
In a warmer climate (like Namibia / Windhoek), you may want to apply more lightly (just a spray or two) because gourmand vanillas can become heavy in heat/humidity.
That nutty almond + vanilla combination also gives it a bit of a “luxury dessert” vibe — good if you want something more distinctive than a light daytime scent.
While it’s marketed unisex, the sweetness and vanilla gourmand-character might lean more toward what many consider “evening feminine gourmand” in style — but obviously you can wear whatever you like.
✅ Strong Points
If you enjoy vanilla-forward scents, this gives you a rich and obvious vanilla presence.
The almond opening gives a bit of twist (not just straight sweet vanilla).
The woody/tonka bean base gives substance, so it won’t just disappear.
From reviews: it’s inspired by luxury vanilla scents (for example one retailer notes: “Inspired by the famous Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford”).
