What does Vanilla Caviar smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Vanilla and frangipani give a floral, gourmand sweetness, while sesame adds a creamy softness. Ambrette seed brings a powdery air, and the spicy and smoky accords pull the sweetness in an oriental direction.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those who like a warm, sweet scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Provence & Nature Vanille Frangipanier and Tom Ford Vanille Fatale have a close profile.
