What do reviewers say about Vanille Absolu and Mirabile?
This is vanilla without the apology. Not the faint, teasing kind. Not the one-note dessert sugar. Full-body, warm spice, creamy depth, the whole thing. It's a statement disguised as a comfort scent.Vanille Absolu
Mirabile is not subtle. Vanilla leads from opening to drydown, backed by myrrh and malt initially, creamy rum and milk at the heart, and tonka with clove in the base.Mirabile
