Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla & Anise EDC
This one's a proper British conundrum. Some find it a fresh, grown-up vanilla with a unique spicy kick, like a refined confection. Others say it's more medicinal fennel than delicious, with a surprisingly weak performance typical of Jo Malone. A divisive scent.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.011 Loverdose EDP
No.011 follows Diesel's Loverdose from a sharp mandarin-anise opening into a jasmine-gardenia heart and a warm amber-vanilla-woods base. It captures the bold, distinctive oriental character well, though it settles into a simpler, shorter-lived dry-down than the designer original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanilla & Anise

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft spicy and powdery accords, combined with general community consensus of light sillage and moderate longevity, make it ideal for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too subdued for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport, but could work for an intimate date.
