What does Vanilla Absolu smell like?

The scent is centred on vanilla: the absolute and the Bourbon vanilla carry the sweetness, while tonka bean and bitter almond add a creamy, slightly powdery softness. Sandalwood stays in the background as a woody base, and the spicy, oriental side keeps the sweetness from turning flat.

It wears with strong longevity and good sillage, and voters rate it well for the price. The number of votes is small, though, so these impressions are tentative. Its dense, warm character suits cooler weather best. Maison Alhambra Sensual Vanilla and Guerlain Tonka Sarrapia Extrait 75 have a close profile.
