Is Vanille No. 25 a very sweet, "food-like" fragrance?+−
It is definitely a gourmand due to the caramel and tonka bean, but the base notes of sandalwood and patchouli provide an earthy, spicy contrast that keeps it from being pure sugar.
How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+−
It offers moderate longevity, typically lasting through an evening or a few hours of leisure activity. It isn't known for being an all-day "powerhouse," but it leaves a consistent, creamy trail.
Is this suitable for the office?+−
While it can be worn in business settings, its heavy sweet and spicy accords are generally better suited for evening wear, nights out, or casual weekend use in the winter.
What is the dominant floral note in the opening?+−
The opening is a blend of jasmine and orchid, which gives the fragrance a slightly powdery, white-floral brightness before the heavier vanilla and caramel take over.
