Vanille de Sambava really surprised me. Instead of a heavy dessert vanilla, it starts fruity and fresh with apple and coconut. Then it becomes creamy-spicy with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of chocolate. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean, and rum come through warm and elegant. It lasts easily 6 hours, even longer on clothing. For me, it's a noble, not too sweet vanilla - perfect for autumn and winter.
