Vanilla Bean Noel

Vanilla Bean Noel is an oriental vanilla for women, released by Bath & Body Works in 2014 as part of a reissued set of winter holiday scents. No perfumer is credited. It is a dessert and makes no pretence otherwise: vanilla and whipped cream at the top, caramel and chocolate in the middle with benzoin giving them a resinous backing, and a soft musk underneath. Sweet, buttery and powdery rather than sharp. It does not last long and projects moderately, which suits it to winter, day or night.
