What do reviewers say about Island Vanilla and Vanille Bourbon 2000?
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
Vanilla fragrances get a bad reputation. Too sweet, too simple, too thin. This one earns its keep. The bourbon note is warm without being boozy, the powdery drydown soft without being shy.Vanille Bourbon 2000
