Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive vanilla that either hits the mark for a 'skin but better' woody vanilla or totally misses it, smelling like bitter pencil shavings or cat litter. If you're after a grown-up, non-cloying vanilla with a spicy kick, this might be your jam - just be ready for the initial pepper blast.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. A deeply divisive blend of sweet, creamy strawberry and robust oud, it's either a unique masterpiece or a complete disaster depending on your skin and nose. Definitely not a blind buy.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, sensual, and projecting nature makes it excellent for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather. While some find it subtle enough for the office, its strong sillage and 'sexy' vibe might be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not one for the gym.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong performance and prominent oud, Holy Berry isn't ideal for the office. However, its unique, sensual character makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal evening events, offering a memorable presence. It's too complex and heavy for casual or sport wear.
