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 →

Gingerbread Latte by Bath & Body Works is a sweet gourmand for autumn and winter days. It opens with ginger and bright orange, warming into a heart of brown sugar and milky vanilla. The base of whipped cream and sandalwood leaves a soft, comforting scent on skin, perfect for casual holiday wear and chilly weather.
