What does Vanilla Vice smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated good, though those ratings rest on very few votes and should be read with caution. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either a masculine or a feminine skin.

It opens with almond and cognac absolute, which set the sweetness straight away. At the heart, suede, heliotrope and frankincense add a spicy, resinous, slightly smoky depth. It settles into ambergris, Bourbon vanilla and Brazilian tonka bean, a soft sweetness with a leathery edge. Its profile is close to Paris Corner Rifaaqat and French Avenue Fierte.
