What does Dolce Nostalgia - Vanilla & Incense smell like?

The fruity and gourmand side comes from the plum liqueur and the vanilla absolute, both with a creamy softness. Incense and leather lay a smoky, leathery shadow over that sweetness, while woody and oriental accords wrap the rest of the scent.

Voters find the longevity and sillage good and rate the value for money highly, though with few votes these impressions are still tentative. The rich, sweet-smoky character suits those who like a warm, noticeable fragrance. Jo Loves... Smoked Plum & Leather and Zara Hypnotic Vanilla Winter have a close profile.
