Vanilla Bean Noel is a divisive gourmand. When it hits right, it's a wonderfully sweet, lactonic vanilla dream that evokes pure comfort. But, be warned, some batches and skin chemistries turn it into a total stinker. You'll either love smelling like a sugar cookie or hate smelling like 'vomit and ass'.

This one is exactly what it says on the tin: pure, unadulterated chocolate. Surprisingly realistic and affordable, it's a divisive scent - some find it delightfully comforting, others note its synthetic edge and weak performance. Best for layering and those willing to let it mature. Not for blind buys.
