What does Vanilla Musk smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, with summer and spring well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and works for evenings too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters call it feminine.

The scent is built almost entirely on vanilla and musk: a gourmand sweetness with a creamy softness. Sandalwood and cedar hold that sweetness on a woody base, while the spicy and animal touches stay in the background. Scent by the Sea Sandalwood Vanilla and Celine Black Tie have a close profile.
