What does Madagascar Vanilla (Perfume Oil) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a soft trail. Voters split the four seasons almost evenly, and daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often. It reads as a feminine scent.

The whole composition sits in a sweet, gourmand vanilla register. Coconut adds creaminess, cashmere wood gives a woody, powdery base, and vanilla orchid brings a light floral side. There is a slightly synthetic edge, but vanilla dominates.
