Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille 44 Paris EDP
Prepare for a chic, understated vanilla experience with Vanille 44, though be warned: its elusive character and steep price tag are a constant source of debate. It's a love-it-or-find-it-frustrating kind of scent, divisive amongst those seeking a more traditional vanilla.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pasha de Cartier Noir Absolu EDT
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart. Expect a bold, niche-like experience that polarises opinions like nothing else. It's unique, it's daring, and it absolutely demands a trying before buying.
