Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tonka Sesame
This one's a proper gourmand for those who like to smell edible, though not everyone's keen on the upfront roasted sesame. It's divisive; some love the unique nutty sweetness, while others find it a bit odd or sickly. Performance is on the lighter side, making it a stellar layering scent.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sensual Vanilla
This one is a real wildcard, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a burnt plastic nightmare, others are obsessed with its dirty vanilla charm. It might need a good sit to really come into its own, but when it does, it's a bold and nutty vanilla statement.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tonka Sesame

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its gourmand nature and intimate projection make it perfect for casual wear and dates, where its unique sweetness can be appreciated up close. It's a bit too 'foody' for formal events, and the subdued sillage isn't ideal for the office unless applied very sparingly.

Sensual Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, this scent is far too potent for the office. It's perfectly suited for a date or a relaxed evening out where its sensual, warm character can truly shine. Its sweetness might feel a bit too informal for strict black-tie events.
