Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla
Divisive. Some find this a beloved, pure, simple vanilla that's perfect for everyday wear and layering. Others dismiss it as a synthetic, car air freshener scent that causes nausea. Try before you buy, unless you really love vanilla.

Our Verdict - Vanille Bourbon
This budget-friendly vanilla is a divisive one. Fans adore its strong, sweet, and comforting character, often comparing it to desserts. Critics, however, find it too synthetic, cloying, or even overtly boozy. Expect a bold, straightforward vanilla that polarises opinions - you'll either love it or find it too much.
