What does White Tea Vanilla Orchid smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and calm rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter plays a smaller part. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often, and more than half of voters read it as feminine.

The top brings bergamot, primofiore lemon, quince and elemi resin for a bright start. In the heart, jasmine, white tea, gardenia and vanilla orchid add a soft floral layer. The base of vanilla, musk, amber, ambrette seed and Florentine iris sweetens it into a creamy, lightly woody finish. Byredo Bal d'Afrique and Tiziana Terenzi Tyl have a close profile.
