What does Vanille Frangipanier smell like?

It opens with almond, lemon and caramel: the lemon lightens things slightly while caramel and almond give a soft, confectionery feel. In the heart, ylang-ylang, spices and milk add a gentle floral and spicy softness. Vanilla, white musk and woody notes leave it powdery and warm at the base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters spread their picks fairly evenly across the four seasons, with fall and spring slightly ahead. It is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for evenings and the office. Jo Malone Sweet Milk and Les Néréides Douceur de Vanille have a close profile.
