What does Chypré Vanillé smell like?

Vanilla and tonka bean give the scent a soft, sweet core. Amber and sandalwood pull that sweetness toward something warm and woody, while vetiver adds a dry edge. Frankincense and Tibetan cistus bring a spicy, resinous depth, and the floral and powdery accords round the whole blend off.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring in third place, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. Though unisex, voters tend to read it as more feminine. L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia and Hervé Gambs Hôtel Particulier have a close profile.
