Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Want Eau de Parfum
This vanilla-heavy scent stirs up some serious debate. For some, it's a comforting, sophisticated dream; for others, it's a generic letdown. Expect a strong vanilla presence, but prepare for it to wear differently on everyone.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Play It Sexy Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent, many find it a surprisingly good, affordable dupe for pricier designer perfumes, but a vocal minority find it cheap-smelling and headache-inducing. Best suited for those seeking a playful, spicy vanilla fix on a budget, especially younger wearers.
