What does Citron Vanille smell like?

It opens with vanilla, bergamot and lemon together, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, pink pepper adds spice while tonka bean and sandalwood make it creamier and softer. Vetiver, cedar, musk and amber build a woody, oriental base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the vote count is small, so treat those ratings as tentative. It reads equally well on men and women, balanced between fresh and sweet, and its value-for-money rating is high. Arabian Oud Amiri and Ahmed Al Maghribi Amiri have a close profile.
