What does Vanille et Cognac smell like?

It opens with bitter almond, orange blossom and cognac, giving a warm, slightly boozy sweetness. In the heart, patchouli and tonka bean settle that sweetness onto an earthy, creamy base. Vanilla, amber and gaiac wood dominate the base, and the scent dries down soft, powdery, resinous and faintly smoky.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. The dense sweetness suits cool weather and evenings best. It sits comfortably on both masculine and feminine skin. Its profile is close to Zara Radiant Echo and Anatole Lebreton Kairos.
