Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, powerful, and utterly bewitching - Vanilla Powder is either your ultimate cosy scent or your worst headache. Don't even think about a blind buy, this one demands a proper skin test.
Vanilla Dust captures Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder's coconut-heliotrope opening and soft, powdery vanilla heart at 35% extrait, echoing the original's minimalist gourmand character well. The addition of a musk-coconut base gives it slightly more body than the niche original, at a fraction of the £295 price.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Vanilla Powder is an absolute beast, with nuclear projection and longevity - one or two sprays are enough to fill a room. This makes it completely unsuitable for the office but fantastic for dates or formal evenings where you want to make a statement.
