What does Vanilla Haven smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close without disappearing. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter and summer not far behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear and also suits the office. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though many call it modern. Michalsky Sunshine and Prada Candy Kiss (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

It starts fruity: pear brings a soft freshness while blackcurrant adds a light tartness. Orange blossom gives the heart a gentle floral touch. In the base, panna cotta, vanilla and musk set the scent on a creamy, powdery, sweet foundation.
