What does La Vie est Belle Vanille Nude smell like?

It opens with Jasminum grandiflorum as a floral entry, then Bourbon vanilla takes over in the heart and the scent drifts toward a soft, powdery sweetness. In the base, sandalwood and white musk hold that sweetness on a creamy footing; the overall impression is warm, gourmand and slightly synthetic.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind, and daily wear and leisure lead the occasions. Most voters find it feminine and modern. Xerjoff Allende and Morph Tonkatonic have a close profile.
