What does Vanilla Skin (Hair & Body Mist) smell like?

It opens with pink apple, pink pepper and sugar, then softens into lily, jasmine and cashmere wood at the heart. Sandalwood, oud, benzoin and vanilla take over the base, leaving a sweet, creamy, powdery vanilla with a light spicy, woody edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits daily and leisure wear best, though it also works for evenings and nights out. Half of the voters find it feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Byrokko Vanilla Delight and The Dua Brand Layers of Vanilla have a close profile.
