What does Accident à La Vanille - Madeleine de Proust smell like?

It opens with peach and apricot for a fruity sweetness, and coconut in the heart softens it. In the base, butter, madeleine and vanilla take over, so the dry-down settles into a creamy, buttery sweet. Spicy and synthetic touches also run through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick it for leisure, nights out and evenings, while office wear comes well behind. It reads mostly feminine, though many call it modern. Sora Dora Jany and Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar have a close profile.
