What does Zenith Vanilla smell like?

It opens with bergamot, rum and candied orange, a bright and sugary start. In the heart, violet, jasmine and styrax bring a floral, powdery softness. Vanilla and benzoin settle into a creamy, resinous base, while patchouli balances the sweetness with a woody note. The gourmand and oriental side dominates.

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, and half rate the longevity high. It is neither masculine nor feminine, and suits anyone who likes a sweet, warm character. Maison Alhambra Exquisite Prive and Trussardi Scent of Gold have a close profile.
