What does Vanilla Suede smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot, which puts a thin citrus brightness over the sweetness. In the heart, sandalwood and rice milk pull the scent in a woody, powdery direction, while musk and vanilla bring out the gourmand, creamy side underneath. The overall feel is sweet, soft and slightly synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays closer to the wearer than it projects. Value for money is rated highly. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Us! and Coty Vanilla Musk have a close profile.
