What do reviewers say about Sana and Vanille de Zanzibar?
This is a gourmand that refuses to apologize for being sweet. The licorice in the heart gives it a curious undertow, anise-adjacent, faintly medicinal.Sana
Vanilla that actually smells like vanilla, not a simulation of it. The heliotrope adds that vintage powder that people either nostalgic for or suspicious of. Bourbon-true, not synthetic-sweet.Vanille de Zanzibar
