Real talk
Most vanillas either shout or disappear. This one threads the needle, powdery florals keep the sweetness honest, vetiver keeps it grounded. It's the warm option that doesn't embarrass itself.Southern Heat
The mint opening is genuine and not subtle, which might put off those expecting immediate sweetness. If you stick with it, the payoff in the drydown justifies the patience required.Rayhaan Elixir
