ABOUT THE SCENT: It is a very gourmet scent indeed. The bottle for some reason says it is floral and fruity, but they smell nothing like the conventional floral scents- which is a good thing. The vanilla scent is not overpowering so you may not notice it at first and complain that its not vanilla-y enough. But the allure of the vanilla scent (which is my ALL TIME favourite) is that it makes you want to go back in for a second and a third sniff. And this attar definitely creates that effect. The rose scent compliments the vanilla, but it too is not very pronounced. But somehow my forest essentials rose perfume meshes seemlessly with the attar.
