Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Leather Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Infusion d'Iris Absolue Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous take on iris, elevating it with warmth and sweetness, though some find it a touch heavy or surprisingly similar to its siblings. Its discontinued status stirs up strong feelings and prompts frantic searching.
