Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spiritueuse Double Vanille Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Old Fashioned Eau de Parfum

Kilian's Old Fashioned is a divisonal boozy gourmand that delivers on its name, but isn't for everyone. Some find the realistic whiskey note captivating; others recoil from smelling like a "wealthy alcoholic old lady" or a night out. Not a safe blind-buy for the faint of liver.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spiritueuse Double Vanille Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

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.

Old Fashioned Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

With its photorealistic boozy opening and strong amber character, this is best reserved for evening events or intimate dates, rather than the office. The scent profile is too direct and heavy for casual or sporty wear, but works well for formal occasions in cool weather when you want to make a statement.
