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.
This discontinued gem is a rich, seductive myrrh-vanilla bomb that's loved for its niche quality and comforting warmth. It's often compared to Initio's Psychedelic Love, though some prefer this for its deeper, less linear profile. Just be ready for its intense sweetness and pronounced myrrh.
