What does Hypnotic Vanilla Cloud smell like?

The scent runs sweet and creamy. Vanilla and marshmallow set the gourmand tone, while apricot blossom and osmanthus add a soft floral layer. Sandalwood and musk sit underneath as a woody, powdery base, and the spicy accord keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin and is noticeable now and then through the day. It is positioned as a feminine scent. Its value-for-money rating is high, though from a small number of votes. Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity (Gold) have a close profile.
