    What do reviewers say about Vanille Malika and DKNY Stories?

    This is vanilla for someone who doesn't need everyone in the room to know it. The incense and pink pepper keep it interesting, the dual vanilla keeps it warm, and the drydown keeps it close.Vanille Malika
    Sweet enough to pull you in, floral enough to surprise you. The vanilla doesn't dominate, it's the warm base that makes the tropical opening worth staying for.DKNY Stories
