What does Vanilla Waves smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so it's hard to say when it suits best. As a unisex perfume, it sits as easily on skin of any gender. Perfumes with a close profile include Lost Tribe Vanilla Waves V2 and Creed Centaurus.

It opens with cinnamon and benzoin, a spicy warmth over resinous sweetness. The heart of Tonka bean, Peru balsam and French vanilla builds a creamy, gourmand core. The base adds Mongolian deer musk, Malayan oud and Mysore sandalwood, giving a woody, oriental depth.
