What do reviewers say about Vanilla & Anise and Vanille Sambag?
Anise divides people the way cilantro does, you either lean in or step back. But here, the star anise never becomes the whole story. It arrives, asserts itself.Vanilla & Anise
The star anise isn't decorative, it anchors the sweetness, keeps the vanilla from floating off into abstraction. Some find that first 10 minutes assertive.Vanille Sambag
