What does Vanille de Madagascar smell like?

The top notes are bergamot, orange blossom and matcha, which give it a green, floral brightness. Bourbon vanilla and caramel take over in the heart and sweeten the scent. Haitian vetiver and cedarwood dry down underneath and settle it onto a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with the office not far behind. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Byredo Pulp and Comme des Garçons Zero have a close profile.
