Which Should You Buy?
BDK's 'Vanille Leather' is a divisive one. Many find it a plush, powdery violet-vanilla dream with a buttery suede kiss, perfect for cosy nights. Others are utterly bewildered, sniffing a 'floral mess' with no leather or vanilla in sight. You'll either adore its sophisticated warmth or wonder if you've been sold a completely different perfume.
Prepare for a delightful muddle. Star of the Season is a luxurious, creamy vanilla-sandalwood dream for most, but beware the elusive cumin note if your skin amplifies spices. This one is polarising; check the notes carefully and try before you buy.
