Which Should You Buy?
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'.
This is a gourmand lover's dream if you're after a rich, creamy white chocolate, but be warned, the star anise can be utterly divisive. Don't expect subtlety; this one's a beast.

Occasions
Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it completely unsuitable for the office. It's a fantastic choice for dates or casual evenings out in cold weather, where its warmth truly shines, but its gourmand nature makes it too informal for most formal events.
