Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Affair Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; elegant and subtle for some, but others find its weak performance a dealbreaker. It's a powdery, gentle floral that whispers rather than shouts, ideal for close encounters.
Statement
Our Verdict - Vanilla Touch Eau de Parfum
This budget-friendly vanilla offers a seriously polarising experience. For some, it's a warm, sweet, and pure vanilla extract dream, a fantastic layering staple or everyday indulgence. For others, it's a synthetic, play-doh-like nightmare, with an off-putting plastic or alcoholic sharpness. You either love its cheap-and-cheerful charm or loathe its artificiality.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love Affair Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its soft, powdery, and musky character, coupled with general feedback on poor projection and longevity, makes it highly suitable for an office environment or close-quarters casual wear. However, it lacks the presence for formal events or the vigour for sporty activities.

Vanilla Touch Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, warm, and sometimes heavy vanilla notes, alongside reports of moderate to strong projection, make it better suited for casual or date settings where a comforting, noticeable scent is welcome. It's less ideal for formal events or the office due to its gourmand leaning and potential for being perceived as too intense or synthetic by some.
