What do reviewers say about Vanilla Bean Noel and Sugar Plum Fig?
Vanilla Bean Noel does not try to be sophisticated. It smells exactly like what it promises: vanilla, caramel, and cookies. If that sounds appealing, it delivers.Vanilla Bean Noel
The rose in this one is a decision, not a default. It's powdery, pink, almost bubblegum-adjacent, and if that sounds strange, it shouldn't. This is the rose that makes people stop you.Sugar Plum Fig
