    This is not your dessert vanilla. Thymes uses vanilla as a warm undertone for spice and wood. The result is approachable, gender-neutral, and genuinely different from mainstream vanillas.Vanilla Ambrette Cologne
    The vanilla turns gourmand. That's the difference between this and the original's roar. Powders out where Shalimar would have blazed. Softer, yes. Makes it undeniably its own.Shalimar Souffle de Parfum
