From the very beginning, La Reunion presents incense, with a hint of earthiness, and vanilla. In the first few minutes, light citrus notes and the tingling of pepper open the fragrance. As it develops, the flowers join in, making La Reunion dense, full, and slightly lush (in a positive sense). This lushness diminishes after about an hour. Towards the end, the scent becomes a bit softer, yet still retains its "edginess." Character-wise, La Reunion reminds me somewhat of Eau Duelle by Diptyque. Truly a special, interesting vanilla EDP, with very beautiful sandalwood, by the way. I often use this fragrance in cold weather and find it very enveloping.
