What do reviewers say about Un Bois Vanille and Vanille des Afriques Intensivo?
Beeswax and black licorice are the tell. If those notes make you nervous, look elsewhere. This isn't vanilla as decoration. It's vanilla as fact, present and undeniable from opening to drydown.Un Bois Vanille
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
