i love this perfume. so much, in fact, i like to layer it with a white musk oil to stretch the longevity because it's such a smooth, well blended scent. it's creamy and beautifully harmonises with your skin so that you never quite smell like perfume, but rather you smell good overall, like it's your inherent smell. when i don't know what to wear? i reach for queening.

This perfume is well named as it feels quite regal, it is a beautiful warm vanilla that captures something chic and elegant rather than heavy. It is light but noticeable and I just want to douse myself in it. Delightful

For those who like vanilla fragrances it is a nice one. It is warm and cosy, but not for winter, it is not spicy. I am not obsessed but it doesn’t mean it is bad :)

I think this sent is a save blind buy for vanilla lovers. It is not overly sweet, it’s more a fresh vanilla sent. Very addictive!
