Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, powerful, and utterly bewitching - Vanilla Powder is either your ultimate cosy scent or your worst headache. Don't even think about a blind buy, this one demands a proper skin test.
Velour follows Matière Première's minimalist vanilla-coconut-musk formula fairly closely, and the powdery, soft-focus vanilla comes through, but it lacks the original's clean, almost transparent finish and reads a shade sweeter and less refined.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Vanilla Powder is an absolute beast, with nuclear projection and longevity - one or two sprays are enough to fill a room. This makes it completely unsuitable for the office but fantastic for dates or formal evenings where you want to make a statement.
Seasons
A soft, comforting vanilla that suits cooler months best, when its warmth feels welcome rather than heavy.
Occasions
Soft and unobtrusive enough for daily wear, from the office through to relaxed evenings.
