Eau de Parfum

Solinotes Vanille Eau de Parfum is a sweet vanilla scent that suits fall and winter days best and works well for everyday wear; it is sold as a unisex fragrance. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen by few. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also finds a place at the office. Voters tend to read it as feminine and modern. Vanilla dominates from start to finish. In the top, white blossoms accompany the vanilla, in the heart tonka bean softens it, and in the base spices add a gentle warmth. The accords are floral, sweet, gourmand, powdery and creamy, with a spicy edge.
