Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Strong Me EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, boozy vanilla that’s either deliciously addictive or overwhelmingly cloying. The metallic edge adds a divisive twist; some find it intriguing, others just odd.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vanilla on the Beach EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your usual sweet, summery vanilla. It's a divisive brew of boozy fruit, patchouli, and spice, with some finding it a rich, unique offering whilst others are left scratching their heads, asking 'where's the vanilla at?'

Season and Occasion Fit

Strong Me

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent, sweet, and boozy character, even with moderate projection, makes it a bit much for the office but perfect for close encounters. It's versatile enough for casual wear in cooler weather, but might be too playful for very formal settings.

Vanilla on the Beach

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong boozy, spicy, and amber accords, this fragrance is best suited for evenings and cooler weather. Whilst some might brave it for a casual outing, it truly shines in more intimate or formal settings where its bold character can linger without overwhelming. It's too heavy for an office or sport.
