Cloying, sickly, and a total waste of money!
I purchased ALT’s Simply Vanille hoping for a dupe of Le Labo’s Vanille 44 — what I received was a sickly sweet, cloying, synthetic-smelling fragrance that was frankly nauseating. It smells nothing like the original. Instead of the elegant, smoky, warm vanilla I expected, this was more like an overpowering artificial vanilla candle melted in a car on a hot day. Even worse, the smell clings to skin and fabric I’ve had to scrub repeatedly to get rid of it. It's not just disappointing, it's gross. To make matters worse, as a non-US customer, I can’t get a refund only an exchange, which I don't want. Why would I risk another £50 on something else I won’t like? I feel completely misled by the marketing. This was a waste of money and I would never purchase from ALT again!
