What does Vanilla smell like?

The notes are heliotrope, mandarin orange and bourbon vanilla. The mandarin's freshness softens against the creamy sweetness of the vanilla, while heliotrope adds a powdery, floral touch. Fruity, spicy and woody shades sit in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is worn for leisure, daily use and the office, and most voters read it as feminine. Dsquared² Want and Rabanne Million Gold Elixir have a close profile.
