I was so curious to try this after hearing it was an "anti-gourmand" vanilla, and it completely lives up to the hype. It opens with the most gorgeous, crisp bite of tart green apple—so fresh and juicy, but never sharp or synthetic. As it settles, that apple melts into a cloud of soft musk and the most beautiful, airy Madagascar vanilla. It never turns foody, sugary, or bakery-like; instead, it feels clean, luminous, and almost like warm, expensive skin. The cashmeran and subtle "paper" note give it this incredible texture that makes it feel like you're wearing a story. It's elegant, unique, and easily one of the most beautiful and unexpected vanillas I've ever smelled. Perfect for anyone who loves the idea of vanilla but hates smelling like dessert.

One vanilla to rule them all. This is a delicious, boozy vanilla with an effervescence that reminds me of a French 75 cocktail. So yummy, I'm obsessed!
