What does 501 - Iris & Vanilla smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, and it also suits the office. It reads more feminine than masculine, though some voters call it modern.

Iris and violet open the scent with a powdery floral note, and floral notes carry that into the heart. Caramel and vanilla take over the base, and the whole settles into a creamy, sweet warmth. Carbaline Talco / Talc and Mazzolari Vaniglia have a close profile.
