Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - B9 EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Some reckon it's a 'nuclear white floral bomb' perfect for warm climes, while others find it turns rancid or overwhelming, especially on their skin. Definitely one to test before buying a full bottle.

Our Verdict - Velvet Vanilla EDP
It seems this fragrance is so new, the biggest problem is tracking down a bottle. If you can hunt it down, you're in for a complex treat that's more than just vanilla.

Season and Occasion Fit

B9

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'nuclear' strength and beastly sillage, B9 is probably a bit much for most offices, though some wear it. It's much better suited for dates and evenings out where its bold, sensual character can shine. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear or anything sporty.

Velvet Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on leather, warm spicy and amber - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its rich leather, warm spicy, and amber accords, Velvet Vanilla is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its luxurious depth can shine. While it might be a bit too intense for a typical office setting, it would excel on a date or at a formal event.
