What does Black Vanilla smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, while summer plays a smaller part. It is chosen most for leisure, evenings and nights out. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot, white peach, blackcurrant and coconut, fresh, fruity and sweet. Jasmine, Bulgarian rose and violet bring a soft floral heart. In the dry-down, white musk and bourbon vanilla settle into a creamy, gourmand warmth.
