Which Should You Buy?
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
A properly delectable gourmand with a spicy kick, Otello is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. It's potent and rich - not for the faint-hearted but adored by those who crave a distinctive, enveloping scent. Seriously good stuff.
