What does So Vanilla smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither whispers nor fills the room. Voters wear it most for leisure and daytime, then in the evening. Its sweetness reads as neither masculine nor feminine, and suits anyone.

Orange and lemon blossom give a fresh opening. In the heart, gingerbread and neroli add spice and a light floral touch to the sweetness. Patchouli and vanilla form the base, leaving a powdery, creamy and softly sweet finish. Tipton Charles Orange Vanilla and Casamorati Lira (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
