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.

Vanilla Bliss follows Dior Vanilla Diorama's aldehydic-vanilla opening and rich tonka-white chocolate heart at 35% extrait, delivering a sweet, gourmand experience close to the original's signature. It's a solid, sweeter-leaning approximation of the £295 niche release, without the same textural finesse in the drydown.
