Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Not Vanilla EDP
Challenging the classic vanilla scent, 'Not Vanilla' offers a modern, spicy twist that's perfectly balanced for both casual and intimate moments.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vanilla Edge EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Not Vanilla by Borntostandout - a woody fragrance led by Camphor, Nutmeg, Bergamot, with warm spicy depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Not Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

With warm and spicy accords complemented by sweet and fruity aspects, it suits cooler seasons like fall while still being versatile enough for spring's mild weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and versatile accords make it ideal for intimate settings like dates, while being unique enough for casual and office environments.

Vanilla Edge

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the woody signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
