What does Vanilla Crush smell like?

It leans towards daily and leisure wear; most voters recommend spring, autumn and winter, with few choosing summer. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, so it neither overwhelms nor fades away. It is gentle enough for the office and still works for an evening out.

The notes are not split into top, heart and base but read as one whole: caramel and vanilla build a sweet, creamy ground, iris adds a powdery texture, pear blossom brings a fruity lightness, and white musk wraps it all softly. The gourmand side leads, yet the floral touch keeps it from turning cloying. N.C.P. 501 - Iris & Vanilla and Mazzolari Vaniglia have a close profile.
