Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a rich, smoky vanilla, but brace yourself for the price tag. Vanille Planifolia is a divisive scent: some hail it as the ultimate vanilla, others as wildly overpriced and overhyped. Sample first, unless you've money to burn.
This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's potent and persistent, with some finding it a rich, complex Middle Eastern delight, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as screeched synthetics, medical associations, or even baby wipes.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its rich, deep, and sensual vanilla profile, coupled with strong projection and longevity reported by some users, makes it suitable for evenings and formal events. While some find it office-safe due to its elegance, its intensity could be too much for daily work wear, hence the moderate score.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean it's far too overwhelming for an office setting. However, its rich, oriental profile and bold character make it suitable for formal events or a distinctive date night scent, while being a bit too heavy for casual wear.
