What does Vanille & Narcisse smell like?

It opens with a fruity brightness from blackcurrant and bergamot. Gardenia and narcissus carry the floral heart, while tonka bean and vanilla settle the base into a warm, gourmand and oriental sweetness, with spicy and powdery touches in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring is not far behind, and few choose summer. It is worn from daytime to evening, and most voters read it as feminine. Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto and Dior Fève Délicieuse have a close profile.
