Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Diorama EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sweet Spice EDP
Sweet Spice trails Dior's Vanilla Diorama with its creamy bourbon vanilla and bitter-cocoa heart. The zesty, peppery opening and gourmand drydown come through, but it skips the original's boozy refinement and leans sweeter and more linear.
