What does Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It doesn't sit clearly on one side of the gender line and reads close to both masculine and feminine.

It opens with toffee and Arabica coffee. The heart brings pastry, cardamom, walnut, milk and date, with the spice tempering the sweetness. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean join brown sugar and musk, and the scent settles into a creamy, smoky, oriental sweetness. Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa and Gulf Orchid Vanilla Latte have a close profile.
