What does Vanille Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It spreads across daily wear through to evenings, and most voters read it as feminine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with orange blossom and cinnamon, then moves into vanilla absolute and immortelle at the heart. Patchouli, amber and musk give the base a warm, woody footing. Citrus and fruity touches soften the sweetness a little. Benchaâbane Soir de Marrakech and Ted Lapidus Altamir have a close profile.
