What does Caribbean Vanilla - Original Vanilla smell like?

It opens with woodland strawberry and vanilla blossom, which give a fruity sweetness. Orchid, jasmine and rose soften the middle with floral notes. The base of vanilla, white musk and sandalwood settles into a warm, creamy finish with a faint spicy edge.

Longevity and projection are moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It suits leisure and daily wear, and also works for evenings and the office. Most voters read it as feminine. Dior J'adore Intense and Welton Secret Amber have a close profile.
