    Real talk

    Vanilla lovers have been waiting for this. Bourbon, bitter almond, and tobacco give it an edge that keeps sweet-tooths on their toes. Boozy and smoky rather than syrupy.Vanilla Bourbon Intense
    For the vanilla devotee who's tired of dessert. This isn't a bakery. It's the original, the one Guerlain built a century of devotion on. Warm, powdery, intimate. Smoky without the match.Shalimar Millésime Vanilla Planifolia
