What does Vanilla Era (2023) smell like?

The notes read as a single blend: vanilla absolute and coffee absolute carry the sweetness and creaminess, while black amber and frankincense add an oriental warmth. Saffron and Madagascar pepper draw a spiced edge, and cashmere wood and Indian papyrus lay a woody base. White tulip and beetroot give the sweetness a faintly earthy, powdery softness.

Its sillage is rated weak, so the scent stays fairly close to the skin, though few people have voted, so that view is tentative. With its sweet, warm profile it suits cooler days better, and it works equally well on men and women.
