What does Sensual Vanilla smell like?

Most voters recommend it for autumn and winter, with spring next and summer least. Leisure, daily wear and evenings lead, though it also works at the office. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and value for money scores very high. Most voters call it feminine, and some find it modern.

It opens with bergamot, rose, Provençal lavender and candied berries. The heart carries lily, jasmine, apple blossom and Bourbon vanilla in a floral sweetness. The base of amber, musk, sandalwood, heliotrope and vanilla settles into a gourmand, spicy, creamy warmth.
