What does Vanant smell like?
It opens with blackcurrant, and the heart of black rose and black carnation adds a floral, spicy warmth. The base of opoponax, birch tar and myrrh brings the resinous, smoky side, softened by creamy, powdery tones.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. Its dark, dense character suits cooler weather, and it reads comfortably on anyone. Meo Fusciuni Viole Nere and Diana Vreeland Absolutely Vital have a close profile.
