What does Vanilla & Cedarwood smell like?

Ugandan vanilla and cedarwood form the core, with amber deepening the sweetness and iris adding a soft, powdery, floral touch. Gourmand and spicy accents come forward, while a smoky hint keeps the woody side in balance.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is worn for daily, leisure and business settings. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
