What do reviewers say about Vanille de Zanzibar and White Edition Light Powdery?
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
Powdery fragrances walk a razor's edge between grandmother's vanity and a cashmere throw on a cold morning. Light Powdery tips toward the throw. The iris here isn't medicinal or grey, it's warm.White Edition Light Powdery
