Alma Andaluza

I was most excited to try a sample of this perfume after seeing rave reviews for it. There is something off putting in it and I think it is the amber note. It made my stomach turn. Similar to some kind of a plastic-y note that is too sickly sweet and artificial smelling. Perfume is subjective so I am not upset because others might really enjoy it but this is just not for me. The bottle and packaging looks so beautiful and I wish I had loved it as much as others do but this was a fail for me. Thank goodness I didn't blind buy it despite being tempted to do so many times because the note structure was calling to me. Thankfully the dry down is nicer because that plastic-y note disappears but overall this is not blind buy safe so I would definitely encourage folks to sample it first.

I don't get sage, rosemary or anything herbal nor do I get any incense, at all. What I do get is a beautifully dusty, light to medium sweet vanilla; amber and touch of rum. It doesn't project much. If you want a sensual, close to the skin, warm vanilla (without being a vanilla bomb), give this a try. I don't need this perfume but I may order a full bottle or a larger decant to wear as a bedtime fragrance.

I’m not typically too into perfumes with incense in them (not a bad scent, just gets stuck in my nose) but I gave this one a shot and I’m literally blown away. It’s warm, comforting, and just sweet enough to keep it from being ‘in your face.’ Doesn’t fill a room but does leave a trail, which is what I was looking for. The vanilla is relatively obvious but it’s layered so well with the other notes that you want to smell it again to try and identify what else is in it. It does fade a bit as the day goes on, but not entirely. Personally I think it’s marvelous, so much so that I turned around and immediately bought a larger decant of it with plans to get a full bottle soon.

I really liked the sample. Will consider getting a full bottle soon

This is a long lasting spicy vanilla with hints of rum. Love it!

I first heard about this perfume from influencer, Demi Rawling. She kept raving about it in few of her videos so I thought I'd get a decant from Scent Split to try. When I first tried it, I was not impressed. I thought it was pleasant but nothing special. It smells like sticky vanilla caramel, gourmand and sweet. I only did a spray on one wrist since usually this kind of scent is headache inducing for me. But I was wrong. The dry down was so lovely that I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist throughout the day. And it lasted me a a good 8 hours. It's amazingly comfy and cozy, perfect scent for the colder weather. Now I'm thinking of getting a full bottle.

Such a well blended vanilla, not complicated, just perfect - would liken it to the ooooold school vanilla lace from Victoria Secret.

Andalusian Soul is a bodied vanilla, the main accords are seamlessly blended yet distinguishable enough to experience each note individually.

sweet and a girly, a bit warm as well. i think i will appreciate it more in colder weather.

I usually don’t like vanilla scents, but I tried this after I watched Demi Rawling’s video on her favorite vanilla perfumes. She did not steer me wrong-this smells wonderful as it has musky and gourmand notes. I do like it very much!
