What do reviewers say about Afternoon Delight and Vanilla Milk?
The vanilla and madeleine duo here really does feel like that specific kind of afternoon, sweet and quiet. Whipped cream keeps it from getting heavy, and it stays close to the skin throughout.Afternoon Delight
If you have been burned by vanilla scents that smell like aromatherapy or baked goods, this one earns a second look. The bourbon vanilla in the heart grounds it beautifully.Vanilla Milk
