Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Diorama EDP
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - 480 Vanilla Diorama EDP
No.480 recreates Dior Vanilla Diorama's boozy rum-cocoa-cardamom heart over bourbon vanilla almost note for note, but the finished blend is noticeably less refined, with a flatter, sweeter vanilla that skips the original's dessert-like nuance.
