What does Coeur de Vanille smell like?

It opens with nutmeg, clove and pink pepper, with vanilla bringing the sweetness in from the first moment. In the heart, vetiver, cedarwood and gaiac wood set the scent on a woody, slightly smoky footing. The base is dominated by cocoa, hazelnut and vanilla, leaving a powdery, resinous and warm oriental gourmand.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. It mostly reads as feminine. Its profile is close to Maison Margiela By the Fireplace and Maison Mona di Orio Les Nombres d'Or - Vanille.
