Sylvaine Delacourte Vanori is a sweet, creamy and resinous floral; jasmine and honey give it warmth over a woody base, and it is sold as a unisex scent.

What does Vanori smell like?

The scent reads as a single flow: jasmine and frangipani draw the floral frame, French beeswax and honey sweeten it, and Bourbon vanilla and benzoin add a creamy, resinous softness. Sandalwood supplies a woody, powdery ground, while grapefruit and pink pepper bring a fruity, spicy lift.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick it for spring and fall, and for leisure and daily wear, though it also fits the office. Most voters find its character feminine. It has been discontinued.
