Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Heliotrope Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive almond bomb. If you're after a photorealistic heliotrope, jog on - this is marzipan central, with plenty of 'Play-Doh' and 'amaretto' vibes. You'll either love its sweet, cosy charm or find it a bit too much.

Our Verdict - Vanille Fruitée Eau de Parfum
If you're a vanilla fiend, this one's for you. Molinard's Vanille Fruitée is a decadent, unapologetically sweet gourmand that delivers exactly what it promises. However, expect a linear experience - don't go looking for complex fruit development or a subtle touch.
