Which Should You Buy?
A creamy vanilla heart over patchouli, sandalwood and cedar with a quiet smoky thread. Smoky Vanille is the budget take on the cosy-vanilla-woody mood, built for cool-weather evenings.
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb that punches way above its price point. It's not a '60s hippie patch, but a sophisticated, woody, and earthy take that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much.
