    What do reviewers say about Vanille des Afriques Intensivo and Cuir Béluga?

    The Intensivo designation means what it says. This is not a subtle skin scent. If the original Vanille d'Iris was a whisper, this version speaks at conversational volume.Vanille des Afriques Intensivo
    This is Guerlain making leather behave. Instead of sharp, Cuir Béluga wraps aldehydic brightness around immortelle and patchouli, then dissolves into vanilla and suede.Cuir Béluga
