It has a strong synthetic vanilla scent (like smelling a scented candle from Jumbo) which, however, is lost in the taste. The intensity of the coffee is quite mild. The best vanilla capsule remains Nespresso's vanilla eclair.

Having tried the Nespresso Vanilla capsule, I had similar expectations. However, it doesn't remind me of vanilla at all, neither in aroma nor in taste. It is not bitter, it doesn't smell like vanilla at all, and it has a moderate to strong intensity. It is a coffee that can be drunk, I just expected it to be lighter, sweeter, and generally reminiscent of vanilla, which didn't happen.
