What do reviewers say about Vanilla Bourbon and Bare Vanilla?
Some will push back. Too sweet, too immediate. But this isn't trying to be polite vanilla. It was born in a Manhattan bar, and it carries itself like someone who ordered the good bourbon, boozy,.Vanilla Bourbon
Bare Vanilla is a mist, not a perfume. Expect intimacy, not projection. The patchouli heart keeps the sweetness from going flat, and the sandalwood drydown keeps it interesting long after application.Bare Vanilla
