Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with a divisive popcorn note that's either sexy and unique or sickly sweet and off-putting. If you want to make a statement and stand out, this potent vanilla bomb is for you. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Guipure & Silk Ylang Vanille
This budget-friendly gem is a warm, coconut-vanilla hug with a touch of exotic floral, defying its price tag with surprisingly good performance. Most find it a delightful, creamy escape, though a few are put off by a perceived synthetic edge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure XS

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date

Its potent projection and long-lasting sweetness make it overwhelming for office or formal settings. However, its sexy, confident character and 'head-turner' quality, as described by many, make it ideal for date nights and evening events.

Guipure & Silk Ylang Vanille

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its creamy, warm accords and good longevity, this scent is ideal for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather. Its sweetness and moderate projection make it less suitable for formal events or the office, and certainly not for sport.
