Vanilla and Anise by Jo Malone is my signature scent. I love the warmth and simplicity of this perfume. I constantly get compliments about the scent and have referred many of my friends to find their signature scent with Jo Malone! I am very sensitive to fragrance and cannot wear any 'perfumy' products without getting a splitting headache by the end of the day. I love Jo Malone products because they have simple perfume notes. Indeed, this perfume smells like vanilla with a bit of spice. It is a sophisticated every day scent that can be used all year round.
