What do reviewers say about Vanilla Circus and Poka?
This is vanilla for people who've been waiting for vanilla to stop apologizing. Sweet, yes. But with a backbone of amberwood and musk that keeps it from drifting into afterthought.Vanilla Circus
Poka does not smell like you bathed in dessert. The popcorn note is uncanny and the apple pie reads as atmospheric rather than literal. Andreas Wilhelm treats sweetness as texture, not target.Poka
