What do reviewers say about Vanille Tonka and Sultan?
The name promises dessert. The fragrance delivers something else entirely, dry, spicy, and smoky, with vanilla that remembers it has backbone. This is for the person who orders brandy.Vanille Tonka
Sultan's vanilla-oud combo isn't subtle. It gets noticed. For some that's the whole point. For others, it's exactly the reason to look elsewhere. This fragrance doesn't hedge.Sultan
