What does 402 Vanille Caramel Santal smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure and daily wear come first among occasions. Just over half of voters find it feminine, while many also read it as modern.

It opens with almond blossom, sugar powder and almond, sweet and powdery. In the heart, caramel and vanilla bring a creamy warmth, with jasmine softening it slightly. In the base, sandalwood, benzoin and musk balance the sweetness and settle it into a warmer finish.
