What does Santal Vanille (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and spring, and see it as a leisure or daily scent. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. It is sold as a women's perfume, though some voters find it masculine.

The top has violet, coconut milk and cardamom, joined by myrrh absolute. In the heart, cedarwood, frankincense and vanilla take over, and the base of cocoa absolute and Sri Lankan sandalwood grounds the sweetness in wood. A spicy touch stays in the background of the creamy blend.
