Which Should You Buy?
A modern gourmand that's as divisive as its namesake. Some find it a soft, airy marshmallow dream, others a cloying, chemical nightmare. Expect poor longevity but potentially endless compliments from those who *get* it.
Vanilla Bean Noel is a divisive gourmand. When it hits right, it's a wonderfully sweet, lactonic vanilla dream that evokes pure comfort. But, be warned, some batches and skin chemistries turn it into a total stinker. You'll either love smelling like a sugar cookie or hate smelling like 'vomit and ass'.
