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.
This one is a proper head-scratcher. Mandorla Del Sud promises sweet almond, but delivers a divisive mix of sunscreen, plastic, and even leather, leaving many scratching their heads. Definitely try before you buy, as expectations rarely align with reality.
