Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your typical candy store gourmand. Many find it misleadingly floral, even synthetic. It's a divisive one: some adore its bright, confident floral sweetness, others are utterly disappointed by its lack of genuine 'candy' notes and generic vibe. Sample before you commit, as Montale's beast-mode performance means you'll be stuck with it if you don't love it.

If you're a vanilla fiend, this one's for you. Molinard's Vanille Fruitée is a decadent, unapologetically sweet gourmand that delivers exactly what it promises. However, expect a linear experience - don't go looking for complex fruit development or a subtle touch.
