What does Vanilla Addiction smell like?

It opens with coconut alongside lavender, then tonka bean, rose and jasmine soften the heart into something powdery. Vanilla, amber and patchouli dominate the base, so it dries down warm and densely sweet.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and the ratings run high, though the vote counts are small. It reads comfortably on both men and women and suits anyone who likes sweet fragrances. La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Givrée des Antilles and Dior Fève Délicieuse have a close profile.
