This is just the best vanilla I ever owned. Before this, my fave vanilla was Sucre Noir (Arte Profumi). Still love the latter too. But Tihota has more depth and is more complicated (in a good way). The sillage is modest but good enough. Staying power is great, it lasts all day on me. This perfume is vanilla, exactly how I want it: sweet (almost sugary) and without to many 'side' notes. Fortunately the musk is not prominent.
