What does Fleur de Sel & Vanille smell like?

The top notes of Sicilian lemon, fleur de sel and sea breeze give a fresh, salty start. In the heart, candied fruits, fig and white rose bring a fruity, sweet middle. The base of vanilla, amber and Indonesian patchouli leaves a warm, powdery, slightly smoky and earthy trail.

It is classed as a women's perfume. The few voters so far find its longevity very strong. There are no season or occasion votes, so its best use is hard to pin down, though the sweet, woody base should sit comfortably in cooler weather.
