In a nutshell

Yo! Vanilla Ice by Oriflame is a nostalgic sweet vanilla EDT with a creamy milk heart and soft tonka musk dry-down.

Reviews →

Caritas opens with a brisk pop of cardamom and tart red fruits before settling into a dense base of leather, amber, and vanilla. Warm cloves and cinnamon give the heart a cozy spice, while a milky rose note smooths out the edges. It sits on skin like a soothing, sweet cloud, ideal for chilly autumn mornings.
