Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Diorama
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Vulcan Sable
This one's a wild ride. Vulcan Sable kicks off with a divisive whisky and citrus punch, but give it time - the drydown often transforms into something smoother, creamy, and undeniably cosy for many. Some say it's sexy, others find it too challenging.

Vulcan Sable

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, boozy opening and often considerable projection make it less suitable for an office. However, the warm, sensual, and sometimes chocolatey drydown is perfect for date nights and cooler evening events. Its unique character could work casually, but it's far too rich for sport.
