Acqua di Parma Colonia Vaniglia is a fresh, sweet scent that sets citrus brightness against soft vanilla; sold as a men's fragrance, it is judged equally masculine and feminine by those who vote.

What does Colonia Vaniglia (Eau de Cologne Concentrée) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as good. Most voters suggest fall, winter and spring, with summer less favored. Leisure time, evenings and nights out lead, though it also works for daily wear and the office. Voters split between classic and modern.

Mandarin orange and bergamot open with a bright citrus lift. In the heart, jasmine sambac and vanilla add a floral, creamy sweetness. Musk in the base softens everything, and the scent dries down powdery with a light woody warmth. Ava Luxe Nude Musk and Guerlain Eau de Cashmere have a close profile.
