What do reviewers say about Dark Vanilla and Vanille Leather?
Vanilla that stopped pretending. This is bold vanilla, unapologetic and dark, with something to say. Pink pepper adds a subtle spark, keeping it from becoming predictable.Dark Vanilla
Vanille Leather is not a cozy vanilla. The name is a bait-and-switch. Bourbon vanilla sits in the base, yes, but it shares space with real leather, and the florals in between are assertive.Vanille Leather
