What does Brazilian Perfume Vanilla Orchid Sandalwood 509# smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. With few votes behind these ratings, they are a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. There are no season or occasion votes to draw on.

The top is candied violet and plum, giving a fruity sweetness. In the heart, vanilla orchid, jasmine and amber bring a floral, creamy softness. Sandalwood and vetiver in the base settle the gourmand sweetness onto a woody footing. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '59 and Zara Fields at Nightfall have a close profile.
