Which Should You Buy?
This polarizing scent is a wild ride, a 'love it or hate it' gourmand floral where banana bubblegum meets spiced almond. A truly unique and bold take on vanilla that’s anything but basic.
Café Cabanel isn't the coffee bomb its name suggests, but it's a divisive gourmand that swings from 'creamy masterpiece' to 'synthetic horror'. It's refined and luxurious for many, but some find it too spicy or artificial, leaning into grandma territory for the uninitiated.
