What do reviewers say about Island Vanilla and Vanille Bourbon?
Sweet, fruity, and beachy by nature. No projection wars, no heavy sillage, just the kind of scent you reach for when you want to smell good without announcing it.Island Vanilla
A bold pour of rum-and-plum, dressed in vanilla. If you want a scent that announces itself in a room and rewards you with a gorgeous drydown, this is exactly that bottle.Vanille Bourbon
