Nota Vanilla: A Nutty-Vanilla Symphony of Elegance
Vanilla perfumes often promise comfort, but few surprise me the way Nota Vanilla Ulyka. This isn’t your typical sugar-dusted vanilla—it’s a refined gourmand experience with layers that unfold beautifully on my skin. The blend of nutty warmth, soft florals, and creamy sweetness creates an unexpected allure. From the first spritz, I knew this was a fragrance worth discovering—one that elevates vanilla into something richer, more seductive, and completely unique. If you love perfumes that balance indulgence with sophistication, this might just be your next signature scent.
An Elegant, Artistic Bottle
Before even experiencing the fragrance, the Nota Vanilla Ulyka bottle sets the stage for luxury. Its deep amber glass hints at the richness inside, while the sleek black label with gold accents gives it a refined, modern look. A bold gold brushstroke detail adds an artistic touch, making the bottle feel like a masterpiece. Topped with a faceted gold cap, the packaging exudes elegance and sensuality. It’s the kind of fragrance you want to display—sophisticated yet effortlessly chic, much like the scent itself
A Nutty Embrace with a Vanilla Heart
The moment I spray Nota Vanilla Ulyka, a toasted hazelnut accord takes center stage, warm and slightly smoky, like freshly roasted chestnuts. As it settles, a delicate floral nuance emerges, adding an airy elegance that contrasts beautifully with the nutty richness. The dry down is where this fragrance truly shines—creamy vanilla, smooth amber musk, and a lingering praline sweetness that wraps around me like a cashmere sweater. It’s cozy yet refined, perfect for autumn and winter but light enough for early spring evenings. The longevity is impressive, lingering on my sweater and hair well into the next day, while the sillage remains moderate, ensuring a noticeable but never overpowering presence.
A Scent That Evokes Comfort
Wearing Nota Vanilla Ulyka instantly transports me to a luxurious Parisian cafe, where the air is filled with the aroma of handcrafted pralines, nougat, and hazelnut truffles. It reminds me of the first bite into a silky gianduja chocolate, where the nutty depth melts into creamy sweetness. Despite its name, this fragrance isn’t an overload of vanilla—it’s an elegant nutty-gourmand composition, seamlessly balanced between indulgence and sophistication. There’s something irresistibly smooth about it, making me reach for it whenever I want to feel both comforted and effortlessly chic.
Nota Vanilla Ulyka took me by surprise in the best way possible. It’s a refined gourmand with depth, warmth, and an addictive smoothness. If you’re looking for a fragrance that blends nutty richness with soft, sensual sweetness, this is a must-try. Whether you’re drawn to comforting gourmands or looking for something that stands out from the usual vanilla scents, this perfume delivers a modern, elegant take on indulgence. One spray, and you’ll see why it’s impossible to forget.
Stanislav's Expert opinions
If you want a great nutty perfume, don’t just go for strong almond or hazelnut—look for texture and balance. The best ones feel rich, not flat, with a natural roasted warmth (hazelnut, tonka) or a creamy almond heliotropin touch—without that synthetic play-dough vibe. A good nutty scent has depth. Tonka, sandalwood, or orris can smooth out the edges, while benzoin or labdanum help with lasting power. If it fades too fast or turns into generic sweetness, it’s probably not high-quality. Think about the style: gianduja hazelnut, bitter almond with iris, or toasted chestnut with smoky warmth? And test it in different weather—nuts behave differently in heat vs. cold!
