    This is vanilla for people who don't usually trust vanilla. The juniper keeps it from going full gourmand, the benzoin keeps it from going flat. It's warm without being a blanket fort.Gold
    If you want something bold or dramatic, keep looking. Vanilla Skin is for people who want to smell like warm skin, soft fabric, and quiet comfort. The opening is sweet and the drydown is incredibly.Vanilla Skin
