What does Vanille Absolue smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though with few votes so far that picture is still tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so it isn't tied to a particular time of year, and it sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with lemon, orange and apple, a bright, fruity start that vanilla blossom sweetens almost at once. In the heart, gourmand notes, cashmere and ambrette make it powdery and soft. The base of musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla leaves it warm and creamy. Citrus and floral accords sit alongside the sweeter ones.
