CreamyWhat does Javanilla smell like?
Ceylonese cinnamon and lemon give the opening a warm spice and a citrus lift. In the heart, davana, vanilla, ylang-ylang and white blossoms add a floral, creamy softness. The base of tonka bean absolute, patchouli, rum and amber turns woody, resinous and powdery, and the oriental, sweet character stays strongest as it dries down.
