What do reviewers say about Vanilla Noir and Vanille Noire?
This one splits people. Some find it masculine. But that dry, woody finish, cinnamon bark, sandalwood, is exactly what stops it from being another sugar bomb.Vanilla Noir
Vanille Noire doesn't play it safe. The pink pepper keeps it from being sweet just to be sweet. Warm enough to mean it, complex enough to keep surprising.Vanille Noire
