What does Vanille 18:00 smell like?

It opens with honey, saffron and grapefruit, the grapefruit lightening the sweetness a little. In the heart, Bourbon vanilla absolute and tobacco lead, while labdanum adds a smoky, creamy depth. The base settles into sandalwood, tonka bean absolute and hay absolute, a soft, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Its warm, sweet build feels more at home in cooler weather. Being unisex, it can be worn by men and women alike.
