Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Bourbon Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive cheapie, giving some big-time boozy vanilla and others a spicy, smoky mess. Prepare for an intriguing ride on different skin chemistries. When it works, it's an absolute steal; when it doesn't, well, you've been warned.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Safran Troublant Eau de Parfum
A creamy, spiced saffron dream, tragically discontinued and sorely missed by those who adored its delicate, comforting embrace. Its ethereal nature makes it a personal indulgence rather than a statement, but don't expect it to stick around all day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanilla Bourbon Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and boozy, warm accords make it less suitable for professional settings, leaning into a more intimate, casual, or evening vibe. Performance is strong for the price, fitting well for events where it can make a statement without overwhelming.

Safran Troublant Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its intimate sillage and short longevity make it unsuitable for situations requiring projection, but perfect for close encounters like dates. The warm, inviting accords lend themselves to casual wear and moments of relaxation, but it's generally too subtle for formal events or energised activities.
