Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a sophisticated, grown-up vanilla that steps above the usual gourmand fare, Imperial Vanilla might just be your new obsession. It’s got that cosy, warm hug vibe with a classy edge, polarising some for its kinship to other popular vanillas but winning over many for its refined take.
Caramelo Vanilla is a divisive gourmand. While some find it a delightful, creamy caramel dream, others are let down by its perceived generic nature, synthetic undertones, or poor performance. If you're a fan of rich, sweet caramel, it might be worth a sniff, but many find it overpriced for what it offers.
