What do reviewers say about The Collection Exhilarating Vanilla and Xplicit Vanilla?
Vanilla for people who don't like vanilla. This one skips the dessert course entirely. Dry, almost mineral, smoke and wood do the heavy lifting. Some find it austere.The Collection Exhilarating Vanilla
If you want people to know you are wearing perfume, Xplicit Vanilla will make that happen. The vanilla is unapologetic, the oud adds gravitas, and the drydown wraps everything in warmth.Xplicit Vanilla
