What does Blue Vanille (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

African geranium, cardamom and spicy, aromatic notes open it, with woody notes and tobacco in the heart. White musk and vanilla in the base soften everything into a creamy, slightly powdery sweetness, while smoky and floral touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably between the two. Just Jack Tobacco Leaf and S.T. Dupont Perfect Tobacco have a close profile.
