Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Escapade Gourmande EDP
This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.
Statement
Our Verdict - Wild Vanilla EDT
This is B&BW's 'best vanilla ever' according to a loyal fanbase, who are clamouring for a full-size version. It's simple, sweet, and uncomplicated, making it a perfect layering vanilla. Those expecting a heavy hitter might find its delicate nature disappointing, however.

Season and Occasion Fit

Escapade Gourmande

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.

Wild Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its simple, delicate vanilla and musky accords make it appropriate for casual wear, office environments, and even light sport. It's also frequently mentioned for bedtime, highlighting its versatility. While pleasant, its body mist format and straightforward nature make it less suitable for formal events.
