From your scent profile
Montale Boisé Vanillé is a sweet, floral and woody scent that leans towards fall and winter, and suits evenings and nights out.
Skunky's take: Sleeps by day, goes out at night; very skunk of it.

Sprayed at breakfast, still around at dinner.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

EarthyWhat does Boisé Vanillé smell like?
It opens with lavender, lemon and bergamot, with pimento adding a spicy edge. In the heart, Bourbon geranium and Italian iris come forward, and the base of patchouli and tonka bean sweetens everything into an earthy, smoky, resinous warmth.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Its masculine and feminine readings are evenly split, so it sits comfortably in between. Guerlain Héritage and Tauer Perfumes Sundowner have a close profile.
