In-store this smelled amazing, and I struggled to choose between this and Paris Breakfast (which smelled equally vanilla-y, with perhaps some sort of caramel). There’s a woody, almost paper-like taste to this, as well as a rich softness. The vanilla is divine, hard to describe, not as punchy as I’d like it, but really smooth and elegant. I do like this, a lot.
Grabbed at a chocolate shop in the heart of Brussels, March 16, 2015.

You must go to Wittamer in Brussels if you haven’t already done so. Their chocolates are amazing! I miss Belgium…
I hate saying this, but I was told most folks here don’t buy chocolates unless they’re a gift for a tourist. They’re so expensive! Most just get them at the grocery store. The quality and selection are still staggering. So while I might go see a chocolate shop, I’ll rarely buy anything. I’m pretty sure I found The Chocolate Street and The Italian Fashion Street yesterday. Lol
Well, that’s generally true of most places. I mean, in China people just buy tea at the grocery store because the selection and quality are good, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t go to the tea street when I’m there. It’s more the sheer variety and unusual flavors that you just don’t find at a grocery store (and we did go to the grocery store too!). We got some amazing marzipan/chocolate/caramel confections there that I’ve never seen anything like before.
