What does Starlight Vanilla smell like?

Vanilla, mousse de vanille and almond milk sit at the centre, while almond and tonka bean deepen the sweetness and amber lays a warm, resinous base. Lavender softens the gourmand build slightly. The overall impression is powdery, oriental and sweet, with a floral touch.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, with evening, leisure and daily wear leading the occasions. A feminine character dominates.
