What does Vaniglia (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer a distant fourth. It leans towards leisure, evening and daytime wear, and while it reads slightly more feminine, it sits comfortably on anyone.
It opens bright and lightly fruity with neroli, mandarin orange, Calabrian bergamot and heliotrope. In the heart, vanilla and jasmine sambac bring a creamy, powdery sweetness. In the dry-down, cedarwood and musk settle that sweetness onto a woody base.
