About Coty Dark Vanilla
Dark Vanilla is made by Coty.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Lancôme Variety is a lighter match.
Dark Vanilla longevity
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. It lasts about as long as Lancôme Variety and Givenchy Amarige. Base notes like amber and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Its style
The strongest accord is white floral (100%), followed by vanilla and gourmand. You will probably like it if you enjoy white floral and vanilla smells and notes like cotton candy and amber. Less obvious notes include orange blossom, jasmine and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 4.19 out of 5.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
