Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Abuse EDP
Vanilla Abuse is Alexandria UK's own original vanilla-gourmand creation, not a dupe of a specific designer scent - a bourbon-vanilla and toasted-almond composition built for fans of rich, dessert-forward fragrances rather than a clone of any single house name.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sissa EDP
Sissa offers a harmonious balance between warmth and mystery, perfect for transitioning seasons and cooler climates.
