What does Vanilla Shot smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time, and the votes split fairly evenly between feminine and masculine, so it doesn't commit to one side.

It opens with aldehydes, Russian coriander and saffron, which give a bright, spicy start. The heart holds dried fruits, Turkish rose and opoponax, and the base of Ugandan vanilla, caramel, Somalian myrrh and Siam benzoin settles into a resinous, powdery, richly sweet finish.
