What does Vanille Leather smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear; longevity and sillage are both rated good. Summer is rarely chosen. On character, feminine takes a small lead, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.

Violet and pink pepper open it, then Indian tuberose absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute carry a floral heart. The base of oak wood, patchouli, benzoin, leather, iris and Bourbon vanilla settles into a sweet, powdery, lightly spicy warmth. Fendi La Baguette and M. Micallef Vanille Vanille have a close profile.
