What do reviewers say about Vanille Noire and Un Bois Vanille?
Vanilla that remembers it grew up in a pod, not a lab. The pink pepper keeps it from being sweet just to be sweet. Warm enough to mean it, complex enough to keep surprising.Vanille Noire
Beeswax and black licorice are the tell. If those notes make you nervous, look elsewhere. This isn't vanilla as decoration. It's vanilla as fact, present and undeniable from opening to drydown.Un Bois Vanille
