Which Should You Buy?
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.
Don't let the marketing fool you; Méribel is pure summer in a bottle. This isn't for alpine adventures, it's for sun-soaked days and lazy evenings. A surprisingly divisive holiday scent, it's either an expensive sun cream dream or a powdery white floral headache.
