What does Vanilla & Leather smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading, while leisure and daytime use sit further back. It doesn't read clearly masculine or feminine, as votes split almost evenly between the two. Yves Rocher Nuit Vanille and Houbigant Tabac Nomade have a close profile.

It opens with the spice of red pepper. The heart holds jasmine, maté and tobacco, and leather and vanilla dominate the base. The accords run sweet, gourmand and spicy, while woody, powdery and smoky tones soften the creamy vanilla.
