What does Vanillac Fantasy smell like?

It opens with apricot, bitter almond and Calabrian bergamot for a fruity sweetness, while saffron and juniper berry add a spicy edge. Jasmine sambac, heliotrope and black pepper lead the heart. The base rests on vanilla absolute, tonka bean, amber and labdanum, a sweet, resinous floor darkened by birch tar and coffee.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. With its sweet, woody and resinous accords, it suits cooler weather best. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone.
