Most voters recommend fall and winter; it also works in spring, while summer is least favoured. It is chosen across a wide range, from daily wear to evenings and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good.
Vanilla orchid opens alongside jasmine. In the heart, brown sugar and tonka bean deepen the sweetness. The base of amber, musk, amberwood and patchouli leaves a floral, powdery, slightly smoky warmth. ESSNCE Absolu Vanilla and La Rive Fleur Antique have a close profile.
