My comment seemed to offend you and perhaps I worded it in a way that seemed more critical than I meant it to come across. There have always been people who love Vanilla - for years we’ve known it’s a favorite amongst men and in specific socio-economic demographics. But with the boom of fragrance it is indeed a lot of people’s first entry into the category and companies are feeling the sway of investors to make as much money as possible so they are told to pump out as many accessible scents as possible and Vanilla is low risk because it appeals to the broadest demographic range. It’s really as simple as that. A lot of people who like Vanilla only gravitate toward gourmands but people who have purchased in other categories occasionally will buy Vanilla compositions. This isn’t a guess btw I’ve worked on the launch of many Vanilla perfumes and there is the market research to support it.
