What does Vanille Noire smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and pink pepper, which give a light, fruity brightness. In the heart, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, heliotrope and cinnamon build a floral, spicy warmth. Vanilla leads the base, softened by cedarwood and musk into a smoky, oriental finish.

Most voters pick winter and fall, and it suits leisure, evening and daily wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with some calling it modern or classic. Mel Merio It's Rock Time and Nicolaï Kiss Me Tender have a close profile.
