What does Fatal Vanilla smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good by those who voted, though the sample is small, so the picture is tentative. As a unisex fragrance, it suits both men and women.

The scent pairs Bourbon vanilla with roasted coffee absolute and roasted barley for a gourmand sweetness. Saffron and coriander add spice, while suede, mahogany wood and myrrh bring a woody, resinous, slightly leathery depth. Narcissus and frangipani add a soft, creamy floral touch, and powdery and smoky shades run through the accords. Maison Alhambra Smoked Oud & Vanilla and Keiko Mecheri Cuir Fauve have a close profile.
