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 divisive dupe that's sparked a right old kerfuffle, but for those who value scent over brand, this delivers a boozy, spicy vanilla hug. Ignore the drama; it's a stellar budget pick for sophisticated sweetness.
