What does Vanille Chocolat smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon, whose bright citrus meets blackcurrant. In the heart, rose, cumin and nutmeg wrap the sweetness in spice. The base is led by chocolate and vanilla, with patchouli adding an earthy, slightly smoky depth; the result stays powdery, woody and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening, leisure and night out the favoured occasions. Votes lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Bois 1920 La Vaniglia and Miro Blue Star have a close profile.
