I bought this VPE by MP and heard very good reviews on how great and luxurious this fragrance is so i was excited to receive it. Once I received it and sprayed it,it was almost immediately undetectable on skin. I ask a few family members if they could smell and they too could not smell anything. I reached out to the customer service group and was replied to very promptly. They stated because of shipping shock that the fragrance would need to sit for approximately 2 weeks to settle. In the meantime i ordered 4 sample from Matiere Premiere website 1 of which was Vanilla Powder Extrait so that i could compare them and I immediately was able to smell the sample of Vanilla Powder Extrait when applied to skin, I know there will be some noticeable variations from batch to batch but this was night and day as my bottle from Fragrance Nevaeh was no scent at all and Matiere Premiere official sample was detected instantly. I have replied to there email and will update with there response!
