Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla | 28

A brown sugar-amber vanilla with a boozy, musky undercurrent, Vanilla | 28 is more mature and sultry than sweet cupcake. Often hyped as a layering staple, it shines in cold weather and intimate settings, but its projection is moderate and some may crave more vanilla or longevity.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sweet Like Candy

This takes sweet to a whole new level, though not everyone's on board with its intense sugary punch. If you're after a loud, long-lasting vanilla bomb with a complex twist, this is it. Don't expect subtle, expect confectionery chaos.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanilla | 28

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Vanilla | 28 thrives in cooler fall and winter weather due to its heavy amber, brown sugar, and rich vanilla, which can feel cloying or overwhelming in heat. The boozy, cozy warmth also lends itself to transitional chilly spring evenings, but it’s generally too intense and syrupy for summer wear.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

The intimate projection and sweet, sensual vibe make this ideal for date nights and cozy casual settings. Its syrupy depth can be distracting in an office or formal context, and it's far too rich for sporty or high-activity scenarios.

Sweet Like Candy

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its potent sweetness and strong projection make it less suitable for office or formal settings. However, it shines on dates and casual outings where a bold, inviting presence is desired, with many noting its long-lasting performance.
