Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanity Femme Essence EDP
This budget-friendly floral fruity number is a divisive one. You'll either get an elegant, sparkling fresh scent that smells far more expensive than it is, or you'll be doused in 'bug spray' from a cheap bottle. Proceed with caution and don't blind buy.

Our Verdict - Tender Romance EDT
This discontinued gem is polarizing. For some, it's a sweet, cozy dream; for others, it's a cloying sugar bomb. If you can get your hands on a bottle, be prepared for a strong, long-lasting scent that leans heavily into amber sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanity Femme Essence

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often described as 'shampoo-like' quality makes it perfect for casual wear and the office, despite some finding the initial spray too strong. It's generally considered too casual for formal events, and is a great pick-me-up for sport due to its refreshing nature.

Tender Romance

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its significant sweetness and strong projection make it less suitable for an office environment, where subtlety is key. It's a fantastic choice for dates and casual wear due to its romantic and cozy nature, but might be too intense for formal settings or sport.
