What does Vaniglia smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Voters most often call it feminine, though classic and masculine votes are there too.

The top is bergamot, orange and lemon, which lifts the opening. Vanilla and jasmine carry the heart; vanilla continues into the base, where soft woods and benzoin balance the sweetness with a woody, spicy warmth. The sweet, gourmand side leads while the floral accord stays in the background. Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées - Gold and Khadlaj Empire Victor have a close profile.
