Vanilla Bean Noel

Which Should You Buy?
Prada Candy is an absolute enigma, splitting the room right down the middle. For some, it's a buttery, powdery dream - sophisticated, clean, and deeply comforting. For others, it’s a baffling disappointment: weak, synthetic, and inexplicably devoid of anything resembling 'candy'.
Vanilla Bean Noel is a divisive gourmand. When it hits right, it's a wonderfully sweet, lactonic vanilla dream that evokes pure comfort. But, be warned, some batches and skin chemistries turn it into a total stinker. You'll either love smelling like a sugar cookie or hate smelling like 'vomit and ass'.
