Which Should You Buy?
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This is a seriously divisive one. Some smell an unpolished, synthetic mess of boozy rum and cleaning fluid, while others detect a light, watery Mai Tai. It's a love-or-hate situation, so sample first to avoid a potent hangover or a disappointment.
