Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Eau de Parfum

This is not your average vanilla. Mona di Orio's Vanille is a divisive masterpiece of dry, smoky spice and boozy woods that demands attention, but definitely sniff before you splurge.

Our Verdict - Dries Van Noten par Frederic Malle Eau de Parfum

This one's a true masterpiece, a unicorn for lovers of luxurious, creamy sandalwood gourmands, though its polarising medicinal or 'weird' facets initially put some off. If you can get past its quirks, prepare for pure, comforting bliss.
