What does Red Vanilla smell like?

Pear and blackcurrant add a fruity lift, iris brings a powdery softness, and patchouli keeps the sweetness grounded. The overall impression is a floral, powdery base with a clearly gourmand character, along with a somewhat synthetic edge in the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and daily wear and leisure are the most chosen occasions. Most voters find it feminine.
