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.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Zenith Vanilla has folks either absolutely loving its fizzy, boozy vanilla cola vibe or recoiling from what they call an 'old lady' incense-bomb. It’s got depth and performance, but it's certainly not for everyone.
