Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, much-missed classic. V pour Homme is a masterclass in elegant masculinity, a sweet-spicy woody scent that's often called 'sex in a bottle'. The community consensus is clear: it's perfect, but ridiculously hard to find now.
Don't be fooled by the name - this isn't a simple vanilla. Vanilla Edesia is a polarising, complex beast of a scent, where spicy and woody notes wrestle for dominance with a creamy vanilla. Definitely one to sample first.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong performance and prominent spicy, woody accords, Vanilla Edesia is too assertive for most office settings. Its complex and sensual nature makes it much better suited for dates or formal, intimate occasions where it can truly be appreciated.
