smooth, non-girly vanilla
Even though the word "vanille" is right there in the name, this one is sooooo smooth and balanced that I suspect it might appeal to even the vanilla-aversed among us, both male and female, because this vanilla is so down-to-earth and non-girly. No cupcakes, cookies or vanilla extract here.
Tonka bean and vanilla provide a natural smelling base for subtle amounts of bergamot, black current and floral notes to intermingle and complement one another in such a way that, had I not seen the list of notes, I would not have been able to guess them except for the vanilla, tonka and bergamot.
Even though it's designated as unisex, I feel it leans enough toward the masculine that it could easily have been marketed exclusively to men, due in part, I'm guessing, to the bergamot, which always seems to impart a touch of cool freshness, and is so commonly found in men's fragrances.
With only a couple dabs to my wrists, I detect the subtle smoothness of this scent all day long, so it does indeed behave like an EDP.
I am enjoying my sample very much, but I would prefer to smell this on a man rather than on myself. It seems timeless, as though it would feel right on anyone from a trendy 20-something to my dad, if he were still around. Classy, is what I guess I'm trying to say. I like it a lot.
Edit: several years later, rediscovering my sample vial in a bathroom drawer. Now it reminds me of Shalimar. And, alas, it has been discontinued.
