Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar
This one is a divisive but ultimately beloved vanilla. Some find it a bit too subtle or marred by an initial sharp opening, but for most, it's a 'grown-up' vanilla that offers far more complexity than its price tag suggests. Essential sniffing for vanilla fanatics.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Gary's Den
This one's a divisive hit. For iris lovers, it's a solid, budget-friendly homage that many rate highly, especially after some maceration. But if you're expecting a perfect Dior dupe, prepare for potential disappointment and a "Coca-Cola" vibe that not everyone appreciates.
