Vanitas

Description Vanitas is a grown-up vanilla, sweet and comforting but with a resinous shadow of myrrh. Profumum Roma opens it with orange blossom, then lets myrrh turn resinous and sweet as it blends into a creamy vanilla. Sandalwood adds a soft, milky depth underneath. Retailers describe it as soft, lovely and slightly powdery, like a delicate vanilla gelato with a drizzle of fruit, and several reviewers pick up a hint of cotton candy early on. Scent Character Sweet : 95% Translation: almost entirely sweet. The vanilla dominates from start to finish, with the orange blossom, myrrh and sandalwood adding texture rather than changing its direction. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Orange Blossom Heart: Vanilla, Myrrh Base: Sandalwood Performance Longevity: Good; reviewers praise how long it lasts. Sillage: Moderate. Projection: Arm's length at first, then it becomes a close vanilla skin scent. An honest note: several wearers find it settles into a skin scent fairly quickly, even while it keeps going for hours. Expect longevity more than volume. Best Occasions & Season Best in Fall and Winter, for evenings, cozy days and the office if you like a soft, sweet scent. It suits anyone who loves vanilla.

Vanilla leads, but orange blossom, myrrh and sandalwood make it more complex and resinous than a simple vanilla. Is it very sweet? Yes, it is a sweet scent, though the powdery, resinous side keeps it refined. How long does it last? A long time, but it sits close to the skin after the first hour or so. Is it men's or women's? It suits anyone who enjoys vanilla.
