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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its intensely sweet and fruity gourmand nature, make it too overwhelming for professional settings. However, these qualities are perfect for making an impression on a date or adding a fun touch to a casual outing, though perhaps too much for formal events or sport.
