Cake icing question

Hey guys, I am trying to make a cake this weekend and wanted to get some input on the type of frosting i should use for a french vanilla cake.

My plan is to have two 9” round cakes stacked on-top of each other with a vanilla buttercream in between the two cakes and a chocolate fudge icing on the outside. Im open to suggestions. Thanks!

For me, French vanilla flavor is richer and somewhat a "custardy" flavor. I would go with a regular vanilla buttercream where not too much vanilla extract in it, maybe half what it calls for. I think if you use chocolate, or even cream cheese frostings it would overpower the cake's delicate French vanilla flavor. Definitely something mild would be best in my opinion.
