What does Vanille smell like?

It opens with bergamot and elemi resin, a fresh, lightly resinous start. In the heart, labdanum, cinnamon and fir balsam warm things up, with spice and resin coming forward. Vanilla and caramel set the sweetness in the base, while ambroxan, white musk and patchouli settle it onto a creamy, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions, though some wear it for leisure too. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine; votes split between the two. Kilian Gold Knight and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
