What does Vanille Sambag smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with evening and night-out use close behind. It reads as unisex.

It opens with star anise and coconut, where spice meets sweetness. Ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and iris form a powdery, floral heart. The base of Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and white musk settles into a creamy, warm sweetness.
