What does Vanilla Orchid (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot, blackcurrant and violet, which give it a bright, fruity start. Jasmine, iris, rose and gardenia form a floral heart. Vanilla leads the base, settled onto a woody, oriental ground of cedarwood, sandalwood and balsamic notes.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and wear is spread across leisure, daily and office use. More voters read it as feminine than anything else. Its profile is close to Police Dark pour Femme and La Rive Miss Dream.
