What does Xplicit Vanilla smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions, though it also works for leisure. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it reads as truly unisex.

Chocolate and Mexican vanilla open it. In the heart, brown sugar sweetens cedarwood, sandalwood and oud. Tonka bean, benzoin and amber close it out with a creamy, spicy, warm finish. The Dua Brand Deep Vanilla Desire and Zara Sand Desert at Sunset have a close profile.
