Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its sophisticated, non-gourmand vanilla depth, while others recoil from what they perceive as a challenging, even 'fishy' scent. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those it clicks with, it's an addictive, unique vanilla experience.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Vanille Caviar (BDK Parfums) - a vanilla fragrance led by Calamus, Black Currant, with fruity depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and polarizing character make it less suitable for office environments. However, its sophisticated and sensual depth is perfect for dates and evening events, offering a unique take on vanilla that’s both confident and intriguing.
Seasons
Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the vanilla signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
