What does Vanille Diabolique smell like?

It opens with orange, cola and pink pepper, fruity with a slight bite. The heart brings dark chocolate, rum, cinnamon and cardamom, deepening the scent into a warm, spiced sweetness. The base of bourbon vanilla, amber and sandalwood dries down creamy and powdery.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the small number of votes makes this a rough indication rather than a firm measure. Its heavy sweetness suits cooler weather and evenings, and it reads equally well on men and women. Dior Vanilla Diorama and D'Qar Vanilla Kisses have a close profile.
