It opens with a curl of incense and pink pepper over bergamot, moves through a soft floral-cedar heart, and lands in a vanilla that reads less like dessert and more like vanilla pods steeped in dark rum. Reviewers reach for the same words repeatedly: boozy, resinous, smoky-sweet, grown-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Differs From Guerlain Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiritueuse Double Vanille\u003c\/strong\u003e — the boozy, incense-laced reading: rum, benzoin and smoke wrapped around the vanilla.
