What does Douceur de Vanille smell like?

It opens with white rose and star anise: the rose gives a soft floral note, the anise a thin thread of spice. In the heart, cocoa and almond bring a sweet, edible warmth. It settles on Bourbon vanilla and white musk, which turn it creamy and powdery. It has been discontinued.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant last. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and most voters find it feminine. Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Frangipanier and M. Micallef Vanille Sambag have a close profile.
