Noir Epices Eau de Parfum vs Vanilla Edesia Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
Don't be fooled by the name - this isn't a simple vanilla. Vanilla Edesia is a polarising, complex beast of a scent, where spicy and woody notes wrestle for dominance with a creamy vanilla. Definitely one to sample first.
