AnimalWhat does Vanilla XXL smell like?
As a whole, the scent rests on a warm, sweet blend of black vanilla, liqueur and cinnamon. Fruity and gourmand accords push the sweetness forward, while cinnamon adds a spicy warmth and musk gives a soft, faintly animal backdrop. Woody and oriental tones deepen the sweetness, and a synthetic sheen runs through it.
Voters find its longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so this reading calls for some caution. It suits those who like rich, sweet fragrances. Rabanne Pure XS and El Nabil Musc Fruity have a close profile.
