CreamyWhat does Vanilla | 28 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Jasmine and Madagascar vanilla orchid open it; the heart holds vanilla absolute, Brazilian tonka bean and vanilla. In the base, brown sugar, amberwood and patchouli deepen the sweetness while musk softens it.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer is a distant choice. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place in daily wear.
