Which Should You Buy?
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.
Divisive, to say the least. For some, it's an airy, clean vanilla dream; for others, a nightmare of laundry sheets and air freshener. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
