What do reviewers say about Vanilla and Gold?
This isn't a soft vanilla. The patchouli leans in heavy, and that makes some people nervous. But for those who give it time, the combination reveals itself as something more substantial than expected.Vanilla
This is vanilla for people who don't usually trust vanilla. The juniper keeps it from going full gourmand, the benzoin keeps it from going flat. It's warm without being a blanket fort.Gold
