In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Alexandra's Vanillac Dreams by The Dua Brand opens with a zesty splash of bergamot peel that quickly yields to rich, buttery vanilla cake and thick whipped cream. As the initial brightness settles, a warm stream of vanilla milk and sweet caramelized vanilla sugar wraps around a faint hint of fresh Turkish rose petals.…

Reviews →

Franca Feretti Gelato opens with a cold blast of mint paired with sweet mandarin orange. As the initial chill softens, a heart of whipped cream and milk emerges over soft vanilla and musk. It smells like a bowl of mint ice cream served on a mild spring afternoon. The scent stays light and soothing on skin.
