What does Vanille Précieuse smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Few people have rated it, so these figures are only a rough guide. It is classed as a feminine fragrance.

The top opens with ylang-ylang, rose, pink pepper and almond, floral with a light peppery edge. In the heart, vanilla, saffron and iris sweeten and soften it. The base of tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood dries down warm, oriental and slightly smoky. L'Artisan Parfumeur Safran Troublant and Al Haramain Rawaa have a close profile.
