What does Vanille Insensée smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it suits leisure and daily wear, with office use close behind. Voters split between reading it as feminine and masculine, which keeps it between the two.

The top opens fresh and spicy with Italian citron, Russian coriander and Key lime. In the heart, Haitian vetiver, Egyptian jasmine and Slovene oakmoss add a smoky, woody turn. The base of Bourbon vanilla, amber and English oak settles into a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Creed Sublime Vanille and Diptyque Eau Duelle have a close profile.
