Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Vibes EDP
Vanilla Vibes is either a salty vanilla dream or a synthetic seaside nightmare. People are mad for its beachy charm, but others get sweaty sunscreen or even industrial cleaner. Definitely one to try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.

Our Verdict - Santa Barbara EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Kayali Vanilla | 28 (2018) - tonka bean, vanilla and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
