What does Madagascan Vanilla Flower (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer not far behind. Leisure and daily wear lead, with office and evening also fitting. Most voters read it as feminine.

Aniseed and bergamot open it with a light spice and some freshness. Frangipani sits in the heart, and amber and vanilla bring a sweet base. Floral, sweet and gourmand tones lead among the accords, while the woody and powdery sides stay in the background.
