What does Marienbad smell like?

Vanilla comes first, creamy and powdery in its sweetness. In the heart, frankincense and styrax add a spicy, smoky resin; in the base, amber softens that warmth. Woody and faintly leathery tones stay in the background.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is chosen far less. It stands out in the evening and on nights out, and is also worn for leisure. More voters find it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine. Akro Glow and Guerlain Ambre Samar have a close profile.
