What does Vanilla Absolue smell like?

It opens with geranium, spices and dried fruits, and vanilla, rose and tobacco sit at its heart. Coumarin, patchouli and labdanum leave a creamy, resinous warmth in the base. The overall feel is gourmand and oriental, with the sweetness balanced by floral and spicy tones.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, as the two get almost equal votes. Maison Scentique Ambra Nobile and Hiram Green Slowdive have a close profile.
