What does Volastra No. 3 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin without filling the room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Most see it as clearly feminine.

It opens with vanilla, white blossoms hold the heart, and white musk forms a soft base. The floral accord carries sweet and gourmand tones, while spicy, woody and oriental touches stay in the background. Clinique Simply and Dr. Taffi Velluto Vanilla have a close profile.
