What does Vanilla (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top opens with bergamot, clove and cinnamon, so spice frames the sweetness from the start. Rose and jasmine add a soft floral heart, with cedarwood underneath. It settles into a powdery, oriental vanilla.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good by voters. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it fits leisure and daily wear best, and evenings get votes too. Most voters read it as feminine. Lattafa Ajwad and Houbigant Vanille Impériale have a close profile.
