What does Vanille Orientale smell like?

It opens with liquorice, aniseed and orange, which give a sugared, spiced start. Caramel sits in the heart and softens the scent, while musk and vanilla stay in the base. The oriental side is balanced by a creamy, powdery sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick winter and autumn, with spring further back and summer rarely chosen. It is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, and also for evenings and the office. Though unisex, voters tend to read it as feminine. Al Haramain Dhahab and Profumum Roma Confetto have a close profile.
