Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - December Vanilla
This isn't your average fluffy vanilla. December Vanilla is a rich, boozy, and deeply divisive scent that truly shines after some maceration. Prepare for an intense patchouli and rum opening; those who wait will be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated vanilla.
Statement
Our Verdict - Elysia Sugar Patchouli
A boozy, syrupy-sweet patchouli bomb that demands a good long sit to mellow. Users love its Kayali resemblance, but be warned: this one is divisive, with some finding it gloriously gourmand and others overwhelmed by the sugary patchouli opening.
