What does Vanilla Sin smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it leaves a trace that is neither close to the skin nor far-reaching. It reads as unisex, sweet and creamy. There are no season or occasion votes yet, and the longevity and sillage ratings come from only a small number of voters.

The top opens with black cherry, vanilla and hazelnut. Towards the heart come frangipani, almond cream, cocoa and freesia, and the fruity sweetness turns creamy and gourmand. The base holds bourbon vanilla, Peru balsam and frankincense, with a spicy edge. Vanilla stays dominant throughout. Tom Ford Lost Cherry (Eau de Parfum) and Gritti Duchessa have a close profile.
