Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your average vanilla; it's a surprisingly divisive beast. Some find it a comforting, sophisticated incense-vanilla dream, while others are baffled by its lack of sweetness and the heavy church-like frankincense. Definitely not a blind buy.
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.
