Our Verdict - Brilliant Silver

If you're after a more accessible, toned-down Ganymede without the price tag, Brilliant Silver could be your everyday metallic-suede fix. Just be prepared for a bit of a waiting game for it to truly shine.

Our Verdict - Velvet Vanilla

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.

Its moderate projection and smooth, inoffensive character make it suitable for office wear, while the metallic-suede blend is intriguing enough for a date. The versatility for spring and autumn noted by reviewers suggests it's a solid casual choice, though its unique profile might be too distinctive for all formal events and definitely not for sport.
