What does Vanilla (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with pink pepper and vanilla ice cream, the light spice softening the sweetness. The heart brings floral notes, vanilla orchid and a solar note, while vanilla, musk and amber settle into a powdery, creamy base. It carries a fresh, citrusy edge, but the gourmand sweetness wins out.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick leisure and daily wear, and a fair number suggest it for the office. It spreads across all four seasons, with spring and autumn ahead. Most voters find it feminine and modern. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude and Calvin Klein Cotton Musk have a close profile.
