Which Should You Buy?
This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.
Givenchy's 'Ange ou Demon' is a truly divisive scent- one sniff and you'll either be captivated by its enigmatic embrace or you'll recoil from its peculiar charm. This is for the bold, not the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of potion.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Spiritueuse Double Vanille is an intimate fragrance, perfect for close encounters like dates where its subtle projection is an asset. Its rich, warm nature and luxurious feel make it suitable for formal settings and dressed-up casual wear, but its intimacy and cost mean it's not well-suited for the office or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, polarising character make it unsuitable for office wear, but its alluring depth is perfect for dates and evening events. While some find it versatile for daily wear, its strength and rich accords lean away from casual or sport settings, shining instead in cooler environments.
