What does Vanilla² smell like?

It opens with vanilla blossom, then the heart brings together talcum, vanilla and praliné in a sweet, powdery creaminess. Benzoin and more vanilla form the base, and the gourmand character, with its slightly synthetic edge, carries through to the dry-down.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring second and summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and while just over half of voters read it as feminine, it is offered as unisex. Molinard Vanille and Chabaud Lait de Vanille have a close profile.
