What do reviewers say about Vanille de Zanzibar and Mon Guerlain?
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
Not another sweet vanilla. Mon Guerlain earns its sweetness from lavender's coolness cutting through the warmth, the herbaceous bite that keeps the vanilla from going flat.Mon Guerlain
