Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Suede EDT
Don't let the name fool you. Vanilla Suede is a clean, fresh laundry scent that's polarised the community. Some adore its cozy, soft vibe, while others are gutted by the lack of actual vanilla. Expect fresh linen, not gourmand sweetness, and you might just love it.

Our Verdict - Love Notes Vanilla Suede - 494 EDP
A gourmand-leaning stand-in for Bath & Body Works' Vanilla Suede. It pushes the vanilla and suede accord much harder and sweeter than the airy, laundry-fresh original, which reviewers often describe as more linen than dessert - so this reads as a cosier, more indulgent version rather than a faithful match, with softer projection and shorter wear time.
