What do reviewers say about La Vaniglia and Melipona?
Enzo Galardi didn't reach for the easy version of vanilla. La Vaniglia goes smoky and resinous first, then arrives at warmth. The kind of fragrance that doesn't announce itself, it finds you.La Vaniglia
This is the one. Not because it's loud, it's not. Moderate sillage, intimate wear. But the dark chocolate in the drydown does something: cuts through all that sweetness and keeps it interesting.Melipona
