Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop banana gourmand, but don't expect realism. Some find it a delight from the off, others need to let it macerate, and for a few, it's just a synthetic mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a surprising amount of debate around banana candy vs. actual banoffee pie.
Vanilla Freak is a divisive gourmand. One sniff and you'll either be craving a bakery feast or running for the hills. Expect a full-on, lactonic sugar rush that's not for the faint of heart, unless you're a true vanilla freak.
