What does Vaniglia Piccante / Spicy Vanilla smell like?

It opens with amber, Bourbon vanilla, Siam benzoin and white musk, a warm, resinous sweetness. In the heart, peach blossom softens that sweetness while Indian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli and Texas cedar give it a woody footing. The base keeps caramel and nutmeg in play, and French thyme and Chinese eucalyptus add a light freshness.

Voters find both the longevity and the sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. With its sweet, spicy and resinous build, it suits anyone who wants a warm, full scent, and it reads equally well on men and women. Sireta Collection Ambra & Vaniglia and Givenchy Ambre Tigré have a close profile.
