What do reviewers say about Viva Vanilla and Bare Vanilla?
Here's the thing about vanilla: it's been done to death. But Viva Vanilla earns its name, the plum keeps it from being just another sweet scent, the amber keeps it from being powdery, and together.Viva Vanilla
Bare Vanilla is a mist, not a perfume. Expect intimacy, not projection. The patchouli heart keeps the sweetness from going flat, and the sandalwood drydown keeps it interesting long after application.Bare Vanilla
