This is vanilla, almost drowned by dominant other notes: booze (brandy?), licorice, woods and benzoine. In the beginning the licorice rules, quickly followed by some boozy note and sharp woods. After that i can clearly detect beeswax. In about 20 minutes Bois de Vanille becomes a warm black beeswax smokey vanilla with a remote hint of coconut.
Lovely in wintertime, mature and distinctive. Edit: In warmer weather the coco is very dominant..!
