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'.
A truly delectable gourmand that’s a caramel bomb for many, but its gentle projection means it won't cloy. It's a sweet, comforting hug, though some find it a bit too simple for the price.

Occasions
Its sweet gourmand nature makes it better suited for casual and date settings, where a comforting, delicious scent is appreciated. Moderate sillage means it wouldn't be too disruptive in an office, but it's far too foody for formal events or sport.
