The picks up close
Picture powdery rose cream with sweet vanilla for Mon Guerlain (Eau de Parfum, 2017); lavender and bergamot up top and Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood and benzoin underneath. Shalimar Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 1990) feels like powdery citrus, warm incense, creamy vanilla, with bergamot and lemon first and incense, vanilla and leather at the base. Imagine sweet pear jam, spicy florals, creamy vanilla when you spray Angélique Noire (2005), starting with angelica and pear before vanilla and cedar take over.
