What do reviewers say about Benzo Vanil and Drowning in Vanilla?
Sweet enough to reach for every day. Dry enough to wear anywhere. The iris adds a powdery softness that makes the whole thing feel worn-in, not performative.Benzo Vanil
Most vanillas go soft. This one doesn't. The cardamom and pink pepper keep things interesting, and the citrus in the opening is actually citrus, not a vague brightness but a real presence that stays.Drowning in Vanilla
