What does Vanille 12:00 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn mainly for leisure and daily use, with the office not far behind.

The top opens with bergamot, pear and mandarin orange, fruity and bright. In the heart, cream, vanilla and rose take over, sweetening it and adding a powdery softness. The base of tonka bean, caramel and cedarwood keeps the gourmand side going, while floral and fruity accords balance the sweetness. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Vanilla at Noon! and Fragonard Héliotrope Gingembre.
