What does The Silk Series - Vanilla Silk smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: amber, vanilla and woody notes. The sweet, gourmand side leads, with a creamy, powdery softness around it. Floral and spicy touches stay in the background, and a faint smoky edge runs through the dry warmth.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without crowding anyone. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though it also works by day and in the office. Votes tilt a little feminine, but a fair share call it masculine.
