Which Should You Buy?
This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.
Loverdose is a divisive, intoxicating scent - a delicious liquorice bomb that leans into its edgy, rebellious side. Some find it a masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'bitchy' punk rock experience. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but it's certainly not boring.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Spiritueuse Double Vanille is an intimate fragrance, perfect for close encounters like dates where its subtle projection is an asset. Its rich, warm nature and luxurious feel make it suitable for formal settings and dressed-up casual wear, but its intimacy and cost mean it's not well-suited for the office or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With strong, sweet liquorice and anise accords, Loverdose isn't a safe bet for the office but shines on dates, especially in cooler weather, where its seductive nature can really come through. Its moderate sillage and disappointing longevity on some make it more suited for intimate settings rather than all-day wear.
