Vanilla in Bourbon vs Gris Charnel

The r/fragrance community views Vanilla in Bourbon positively as a solid boozy vanilla fragrance with good performance. Multiple users praise it as a strong contender among popular vanilla fragrances and recommend it for cooler seasons, though it's best reserved for fall and winter rather than hot summer days.

Gris Charnel receives divided opinions within the community. While some are optimistic about the new Extrait de Parfum concentration and appreciate the unique spiced character, others find the original too sour or experience minimal fig presence. The fragrance appeals to niche enthusiasts but lacks consensus as a mainstream fig fragrance recommendation.
