What do reviewers say about Vanilla Aura and Ambre & Santal?
Most vanillas announce themselves. This one waits for you to come to it. The citrus keeps things clean at the opening, but by the heart, caramel and chocolate have settled in and they aren't leaving.Vanilla Aura
This is the fragrance for someone who wants warmth without heaviness. The herbal opening keeps it honest; the vanilla-sandalwood base keeps it cozy. It's not trying to fill a room.Ambre & Santal
