What does Vanille Dorée smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, spring trails behind, and summer is the least chosen season. Leisure and evening lead the occasions, with business and nights out not far behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without crowding the room.

Overall it is floral, sweet and gourmand. Ylang-ylang, jasmine and Bulgarian rose build the floral side, while vanilla and benzoin turn it creamy and powdery. Bergamot and pink pepper add a light touch of spice, and cedar and frankincense give it a woody, slightly smoky base.
