Which Should You Buy?
This Dominique Ropion creation divides opinion sharply, with some reviling its 'burnt rubber' opening, while others are utterly seduced by its smoky, sexy vanilla dry-down. If you can push through the rough start, you're in for a complex, masterful vanilla that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for compliments.
Zara's Immortal Vanilla is a divisive beast: a budget-friendly dupe that either nails a sophisticated, salty vanilla or lands as a screeching, synthetic mess. It's a huge compliment-getter, but proceed with caution and a light hand.
