What do reviewers say about Vanille Noire and Cologne of the Missions?
Vanille Noire doesn't play it safe. The pink pepper keeps it from being sweet just to be sweet. Warm enough to mean it, complex enough to keep surprising.Vanille Noire
This is vanilla that went to seminary. Sweet, yes, but with something contemplative underneath, the kind that lingers without announcing itself. Some will want more projection.Cologne of the Missions
