What do reviewers say about Cara and Vanille Noire du Mexique?
Sweet without shouting. Powdery without dusting everything in it. The almond keeps it interesting, that slight bitter edge beneath all that warmth. It's the bottle that disappears fastest once people.Cara
Not for someone who wants vanilla as a comfort note. This is vanilla with weight, dark and resinous, offering complexity beyond simple sweetness. Warm. Grounded.Vanille Noire du Mexique
