What does Splendid Vanille smell like?

The scent reads as fresh and gourmand: bergamot and lemon give it a sunny citrus lift, while vanilla orchid and bourbon vanilla carry a creamy sweetness. Tonka bean softens that sweetness, and musk leaves a powdery, floral base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It is made for both men and women, and suits anyone who wants vanilla that is neither heavy nor sugary. Creed Sublime Vanille and Bujairami The Vanille have a close profile.
