CreamyWhat does Vanille de Sambava smell like?
It opens with bergamot, orange and apple for a fruity brightness, softened by coconut. Cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate bring warm, sweet spice to the heart. The base of tonka bean, vanilla and rum takes over, settling into a creamy, powdery sweetness with a light woody edge.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick it for nights out and evenings, with daily wear a step behind. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Fragonard Héliotrope Gingembre and Pierre Guillaume 31 Tonka Bodykon have a close profile.
