What does Vanilla Waves V2 smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are a rough guide. It is made for both men and women, and leaves a dense, noticeable trail. With no season or occasion votes, any reading beyond its structure would be guesswork.

The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: cinnamon adds spice, while benzoin and Peru balsam give a resinous warmth. French vanilla and tonka bean build a creamy, sweet body. Indonesian oud, Mysore sandalwood and Mongolian musk add a woody, faintly smoky depth. Lost Tribe Vanilla Waves and bdk Parfums Vanille Caviar have a close profile.
