What does Sublime Vanille smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with lemon and bergamot. In the heart, jasmine and Bourbon vanilla take over, turning the scent sweeter and more gourmand. Tonkin musk and tonka bean settle it into a powdery, creamy base, with a spicy edge staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters point to spring, fall and summer, with winter a little behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Alexandria Fragrances Splendid Vanille and Marcoccia Zaahra have a close profile.
