   My first Cremo experience was this one, Spice & Black Vanilla (2017). The drydown leans on Bourbon Vanilla plus Vetiver and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The base rests on Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver — warm, grounded and easy to live with. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Spice & Black Vanilla. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Cashmere Wood, which is where the fragrance really shines. The base rests on Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver — warm, grounded and easy to live with. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   I keep reaching for Spice & Black Vanilla more than I expected to. That first spray gives a lovely Cardamom impression that dries down smoothly. The base rests on Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver — warm, grounded and easy to live with. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   A couple of wears in, Spice & Black Vanilla has really grown on me. As it settles, Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver come through and give it real depth. The opening is built around Cardamom — bright and immediately recognizable. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I have owned Spice & Black Vanilla for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. As it settles, Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver come through and give it real depth. That first spray gives a lovely Cardamom impression that dries down smoothly. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   A friend passed me a decant of Spice & Black Vanilla (2017) and I wasn’t prepared for it. Right away I get mostly Cardamom, fresh and very easy to wear. As it settles, Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver come through and give it real depth. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   A decant of Spice & Black Vanilla sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. That first spray gives a lovely Cardamom impression that dries down smoothly. Give it a little time and Cashmere Wood comes forward — smooth and well done. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

Right away I get mostly Cardamom, fresh and very easy to wear. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Sadly this one does not work on my skin.

    My first Cremo experience was this one, Spice & Black Vanilla (2017). The first minutes are all about Cardamom — it grabs attention without being pushy. The opening is built around Cardamom — bright and immediately recognizable. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

    I’ve been wearing Spice & Black Vanilla on and off for a few weeks now (2017). The very first sniff is crisp Cardamom, very much my kind of start.

The drydown leans on Bourbon Vanilla plus Vetiver and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I wanted to like it more than I did.

The base rests on Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver — warm, grounded and easy to live with. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely.

    Everyone keeps talking about Spice & Black Vanilla, so I finally gave it a proper test. As it settles, Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver come through and give it real depth. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Cashmere Wood, which is where the fragrance really shines. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.
