Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alaïa Blanche
A divisive almond-vanilla cloud that's plush and elegant for those who love powdery scents, but can be a bit 'too much' for others. Think refined comfort, not a playful gourmand.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pure Vanilla
Don't let the name fool you. Pure Vanilla is a surprisingly complex blend of vanilla, powder, and patchouli that divides opinion. It's either a cozy, sophisticated vanilla dream or a powdery, dated nightmare. Sample it first to see which side you land on.
