Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mula Mula EDP
Mula Mula is a divisive beast, a saccharine punch of caramelised fruit that some find utterly divine and others, an unbearable synth-bomb. If you like your gourmands loud, proud and sweet, this might be your jam - just don't expect universal adoration.

Our Verdict - Love Notes Vanilla Suede - 494 EDP
A gourmand-leaning stand-in for Bath & Body Works' Vanilla Suede. It pushes the vanilla and suede accord much harder and sweeter than the airy, laundry-fresh original, which reviewers often describe as more linen than dessert - so this reads as a cosier, more indulgent version rather than a faithful match, with softer projection and shorter wear time.
