Which Should You Buy?
This is Maison Alhambra's take on a popular vanilla gourmand, and while it's softer and less 'beast mode' than some, it hits that comforting, sweet spot for many. If you prefer your vanilla creamy and cuddly rather than screaming for attention, this one's for you.
This vanilla-almond bomb is intensely divisive. Some find it a 'beast mode' sexy dupe for a much pricier option, while others recoil from what they perceive as truly awful, synthetic, and even尿-like notes. Definitely sample before you commit.
