What does Vanille (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Vanilla appears in three forms here: bourbon vanilla, vanilla liqueur and vanilla orchid. Heliotrope and daylily add a powdery, floral touch to the sweetness, while amber, sandalwood and musk lay a warm, woody base. The overall impression is gourmand, creamy and soft.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits daily wear, leisure time and the office. Most voters find it feminine.
