Which Should You Buy?
Skip the initial comparisons, this extrait is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It needs time to unfurl its creamy, jammy rose heart, but those who wait are rewarded with an opulent, modern take on a classic.
If you're after a sophisticated, grown-up vanilla that steps above the usual gourmand fare, Imperial Vanilla might just be your new obsession. It’s got that cosy, warm hug vibe with a classy edge, polarising some for its kinship to other popular vanillas but winning over many for its refined take.
