What does Couleur Vanille smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads slightly more feminine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.

It opens with fleur de sel, freesia and bergamot, a clean floral freshness. Immortelle and cashmere wood sit in the heart, and the base of Bourbon vanilla, benzoin, tolu balm and musk dries down creamy, sweet and powdery.
