CreamyWhat does Intense Vanilla smell like?
The top notes are strawberry, lemon and cinnamon: fruit and spice come first, with the lemon lifting them slightly. In the heart, amber and coconut soften the scent into a creamy tone. The base is led by vanilla and tonka bean, with sandalwood and patchouli leaving a woody floor underneath. The overall impression is gourmand, fruity and sweet, with a synthetic edge among its accords. Afnan Perfumes 9pm and Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir have a close profile.
