What does Vaninger smell like?

Vaninger has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it is easy to notice without filling the room. Few people have voted, so these ratings are a first impression rather than a settled verdict.

The notes read as one whole rather than in layers: kumquat and lemon give a bright, fresh citrus lift against the spicy warmth of ginger and turmeric. Heliotrope, vanilla and tolu balm carry it into a creamy, resinous sweetness, while white musk and ambroxan keep it soft. Kenzo Flower by Kenzo Eau de Vie and Tiziana Terenzi Draco have a close profile.
