What does Vanille smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further back and summer the least chosen. It isn't tied to one setting: leisure, daytime, evening and business are named in similar measure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and most voters find it feminine.

It opens with bergamot and osmanthus, then moves to Bourbon vanilla, jasmine and heliotrope in the heart. In the base, white musk, tonka bean, benzoin and praliné carry it into a powdery, creamy sweetness, with the floral and spicy accords wrapped around that vanilla core.
