What does Deep Dark Vanilla smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Voters split almost evenly between fall, winter and summer, with spring trailing behind. Leisure, night out and evening wear lead the occasions, and most voters call its character modern.

It opens with pink pepper, orchid and cabreuva. In the heart, vine, vanilla orchid leaf and cypress root add a green edge. Patchouli, hay and vanilla absolute settle the sweetness onto a woody, resinous, leathery base. Astrophil & Stella In Extremis and Atelier Flou Hora Fugit have a close profile.
