Agreeable
Esprit Collection is a fragrance matching Esprit fashion: Fashionable without being extravagant, unobtrusive, agreeable. A pleasant fragrance for every day.
It starts with Ylang Ylang and orange blossom as a flowery but not overly sweet fragrance, then blending with a haylike tonka bean, vanilla and woody notes (sandalwood?) to a soft, almost creamy, feminine unit.
The notes of wood and vanilla remind me of wine - in the 1990s red wines matured in oakwood barrique barrels were all the rage: Slightly artificial, a tad too penetrating to be really classy, but completely adequate to accompany an everyday dinner. In the same way Esprit Collection is an agreeable and very affordable fragrance for people who like vanilla.
Was, I should say, as it's been discontinued.
