Which Should You Buy?
This is B&BW's most polarising scent - a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand that divides opinion like no other. Utterly irresistible to some, horrifically synthetic to others. Proceed with caution.
Divisive yet adored, Montale's Sweet Vanilla is a gourmand beast. For those who can handle its relentless sweetness and synthetic edge, it's pure, unadulterated edible joy - a true compliment magnet.
