Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop banana gourmand, but don't expect realism. Some find it a delight from the off, others need to let it macerate, and for a few, it's just a synthetic mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a surprising amount of debate around banana candy vs. actual banoffee pie.
Vanilla Bean Noel is a divisive gourmand. When it hits right, it's a wonderfully sweet, lactonic vanilla dream that evokes pure comfort. But, be warned, some batches and skin chemistries turn it into a total stinker. You'll either love smelling like a sugar cookie or hate smelling like 'vomit and ass'.

Occasions
With its strong, sweet gourmand profile and impressive longevity, Eclaire Banoffi isn't one for the office or formal events. It's too bold for those settings. However, it's perfect for casual outings or a fun date night where its comforting, dessert-like aroma can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet, gourmand nature and weak longevity make it unsuitable for formal or office settings. However, it's a perfect casual scent, especially for intimate dates or relaxed everyday wear, as highlighted by reviews mentioning wearing it post-shower for a comforting feel.
