What does Vain & Naïve smell like?

Orange and bergamot give the top a bright citrus lift. In the heart, raspberry and plum bring fruity sweetness, rose and jasmine carry the floral side, and cedarwood adds a woody frame. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, amber and tonka bean softens everything into a creamy, spicy warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and pick leisure and daily wear most often. On character, feminine leads, with modern in second place. Filippo Sorcinelli Hæc dies and Boadicea the Victorious Gentle have a close profile.
