Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanillary
This one is as divisive as it gets. On one hand, a creamy, buttery vanilla with a sensual jasmine edge. On the other, a rancid, urine-soaked nightmare. You either love its unique, raw character, or you're reaching for the nearest scrub brush. Try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pentimento
This one is a proper divisive beast. You'll either love its unique blend of nutty gourmand and unexpected florals, finding it a cosy, sexy winter scent, or you'll be running for the hills from its 'synthetic' or 'nauseating' opening. Definitely not a blind buy.

Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its sweet, woody, and rum accords, combined with moderate sillage, make it too prominent for a formal office setting. However, its sensual and cosy nature is perfect for date nights or relaxed casual wear, especially in cooler weather, as mentioned by several reviewers.
