Eau de Toilette

Bettina Barty Vanilla Eau de Toilette is a sweet, creamy, gourmand scent built on a base of vanilla, amber and musk, made for women and leaning towards fall and winter. The top opens with bergamot, clove and cinnamon, so spice frames the sweetness from the start. Rose and jasmine add a soft floral heart, with cedarwood underneath. It settles into a powdery, oriental vanilla. Longevity and sillage are both rated good by voters. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it fits leisure and daily wear best, and evenings get votes too. Most voters read it as feminine. Lattafa Ajwad and Houbigant Vanille Impériale have a close profile.
