    Real talk

    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
    The name promises vanilla and wood, but the beeswax and benzoin are the real story here. This fragrance does not evolve dramatically because it essentially IS its heart from the first spray.Un Bois Vanille
