What does Vanilla in Armagnac smell like?

The top is cocoa shell, bitter orange and lemon, so citrus and cocoa arrive together. In the heart, cocoa absolute and vanilla CO2 sweeten the scent and give it a creamy softness. Cedarwood sets a woody, spicy base underneath.

Voters find its longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Xerjoff Naxos and Akro Awake have a similar profile.
