Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Planifolia EDP

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.

Our Verdict - Golden Powder EDP

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; gorgeous spicy vanilla notes often come with an underwhelming performance. If you're after a subtle, cozy scent and can accept the often intimate projection, it's a beauty. Otherwise, you might find it a pricey disappointment.

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.

Golden Powder

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its generally intimate sillage makes it suitable for office wear, but its warm, cozy nature makes it perfect for casual outings or romantic dates, particularly in colder weather. The woody-vanilla profile isn't typically suited for formal events or sports.
