Real talk
The name says vanilla. The scent says otherwise. This is resinous amber doing the heavy lifting, the vanilla is there, but it's woven into the base alongside papyrus and patchouli.Vanilla Factory
Cherry-forward fragrances can feel one-dimensional, but the addition of chamomile and violet leaf here keeps it from skewing too sweet. It earns its romantic, refined reputation.French Defense
