Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla So Sweet Eau de Parfum
Seriously boozy vanilla with an indulgent, spiced depth. It's divisive - some find it a delightful gourmand, others a confusing 'chemical' mess. If you're into robust, rum-soaked vanilla, this is a must-try, but don't blind buy expecting a light, airy scent.

Our Verdict - Alma Nera Extrait
A boozy, vanilla delight that's perfect for a night out. It's a sweet, woody embrace that'll have you feeling luxurious and a bit edgy. Definitely a crowd-pleaser for those who love a warm, rich scent.

Casual

This heavy, boozy vanilla is too intense for the office, but its powerful, long-lasting nature makes it excellent for winter dates or evening events. The strong vanilla and rum accords suggest a more indulgent, less casual wear, though some find it comforting enough for relaxed settings.
