What does Vanille 44 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits daily, leisure and business wear, and votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

Bourbon vanilla leads, with mandarin orange and bergamot adding brightness at the start. Frankincense, gaiac wood and pipol give the vanilla a resinous, woody, slightly smoky depth. The overall impression is sweet, gourmand, creamy and powdery, with a spicy edge.
