Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Diorama
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Odyssey Mandarin Sky Elixir
A beast-mode compliment-puller that screams confidence. If you fancy a sweet and spicy citrus bomb that lasts ages, this is your jam. Some say it's not unique, comparing it to other gourmand heavy-hitters, but who cares when it gets you noticed?
