The vanilla base settles within the hour — that is what people will smell all evening, and two sprays cover it. Keep it for cooler months, when the plum holds its density; in high summer it turns syrupy fast. For anyone after a quiet gourmand fruit rather than a declared floral, and better after dark than at a desk.
