What does Benzo Vanil smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the vote counts are small, so those ratings are tentative. Voters pick it most for evenings and nights out, with leisure and daytime wear not far behind. As a unisex scent, it reads neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine.

The top holds labdanum, vanilla and benzoin, and the resinous sweetness carries through the whole scent. In the heart, iris and gaiac wood pull it toward floral and woody. Patchouli, sandalwood and musk in the base leave a lasting warmth. Birkholz Berlin Dream and Penhaligon's As Sawira have a close profile.
