What does Eau des Vanilliers smell like?

Vanilla and amber lay down a sweet, gourmand base, while jasmine, ylang-ylang, freesia and orchid add a soft floral layer on top of it. Musk wraps everything in a powdery veil, and the spicy, oriental touches keep the sweetness from turning sugary.

Longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate, so it sits close rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, followed by evening and the office. Nihan Hypnotique and L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia have a close profile.
