What does Vanille Givrée des Antilles smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the wearer. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it works for evenings, nights out and leisure time alike. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with lavender, mandarin orange and bergamot, then moves into tuberose and rose at the heart. Vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli and opoponax dominate the base, and the floral, gourmand and spicy accords settle onto that sweet, powdery ground. La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Noire du Mexique and Maison Tahité Cacao Libertine have a close profile.
