Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Powder EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vanilla Dust Extrait
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.
