Does this smell like a typical sweet dessert vanilla?+−
No, this is a "dry" vanilla. It focuses on the Bourbon vanilla bean and woody vetiver rather than sugar. The inclusion of carrot seed and orris butter gives it a powdery, sophisticated edge that leans more toward fine perfumery than a bakery.
How does the "Intensivo" version perform compared to standard fragrances?+−
This version is designed for improved longevity. Most users find that it lasts comfortably through a full workday, projecting a noticeable but polite aura that won't overwhelm a room.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
Yes, it is highly recommended for business and daily use. Because it lacks the heavy, cloying sweetness of many vanilla perfumes, it maintains a professional and polished character that works well in close quarters.
Is Vanille des Afriques Intensivo more masculine or feminine?+−
It is strictly unisex. The floral heart of magnolia and jasmine is balanced by a strong base of cedarwood, vetiver, and spicy pink pepper, making it equally appealing to men and women who enjoy woody-spicy scents.
