What does Vaniglia e Zenzero del Madagascar smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, with summer chosen less often. It is picked for leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, though it also reads as unisex. Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy Men (Eau de Toilette) and Aerin Tangier Vanille have a close profile.

Bergamot opens it with some lightness. The heart brings ylang-ylang, ginger, rosewood and orchid, so the floral side meets the spice. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, amber and musk turn it sweet, creamy and powdery, while cedarwood and sandalwood give it a woody footing.
