Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Van Exstasyx
This one is a divisive, almost love-it-or-hate-it gourmand vanilla, often smelling more like chocolate or caramel. Longevity is hit-and-miss according to reviews, ranging from barely there to beast mode, so try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vanille Bourbon
This budget-friendly vanilla is a divisive one. Fans adore its strong, sweet, and comforting character, often comparing it to desserts. Critics, however, find it too synthetic, cloying, or even overtly boozy. Expect a bold, straightforward vanilla that polarises opinions - you'll either love it or find it too much.
