Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Planifolia
Chloé's Vanilla Planifolia is a divisive green vanilla, an elegant and fresh take that steers clear of gourmand sweetness. Some find it a beautifully unique, natural aroma, while others can't get past a strange "green banana" or even "fishy" opening. Definitely not one for a blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Explicite
This one's a proper divisive scent. Sweet, spicy, and floral with a creamy praline heart, it's either a sophisticated, luxurious powerhouse or an overpowering, headache-inducing disaster that dries down to an off-putting woodiness. Not one for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanilla Planifolia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and fresh, non-cloying character make it suitable for office and casual wear. The elegant, subtle nature fits certain date scenarios, but it's perhaps too subdued for formal events. The fresh, green aspects might appeal in warmer weather, but it lacks the vigor for sport.
