Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a rich, smoky vanilla, but brace yourself for the price tag. Vanille Planifolia is a divisive scent: some hail it as the ultimate vanilla, others as wildly overpriced and overhyped. Sample first, unless you've money to burn.
A budget take on Guerlain's Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21, Velour Vanilla rebuilds the grown-up spiced vanilla wrapped in opoponax, amber and musk. Owners call it very close to the original - a classy, balsamic vanilla rather than a sugary one, just a shade less refined.
