Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lilac Love
Lilac Love is a divisive, opinionated floral gourmand that splits the room: some find it a unique, powdery dream of lilac and cocoa, while others are put off by its 'old lady' vibe and synthetic sweetness. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for purple floral fanatics.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lilac Love

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With its moderate to strong projection and lasting power, Lilac Love is well-suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. Its cozy warmth makes it great for casual wear in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

Pure Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Given its moderate sillage and comforting, clean undertones, it's suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, its powdery nature and depth make it less ideal for formal events or sports, excelling instead in casual and date settings where its warmth can shine.
