    Real talk

    The fruity opening is juicy and a little tart, like biting into a ripe plum at dusk. The sweetness is present but balanced by the tartness, creating an inviting first impression.Varsha
    Vanilla that actually smells like vanilla, not a simulation of it. The heliotrope adds that vintage powder that people either nostalgic for or suspicious of. Bourbon-true, not synthetic-sweet.Vanille de Zanzibar
