What do reviewers say about Nearly Nu and Vanille Bourbon?
It's a quiet fragrance. Deliberately. If you're after something that fills the room, keep looking. But if you want the person beside you to catch something warm and powdery and impossibly close.Nearly Nu
A bold pour of rum-and-plum, dressed in vanilla. If you want a scent that announces itself in a room and rewards you with a gorgeous drydown, this is exactly that bottle.Vanille Bourbon
