Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Freak Eau de Parfum
Vanilla Freak is a divisive gourmand. One sniff and you'll either be craving a bakery feast or running for the hills. Expect a full-on, lactonic sugar rush that's not for the faint of heart, unless you're a true vanilla freak.
Statement
Our Verdict - Italica Eau de Parfum
Italica is a true love-it-or-hate-it gourmand - a divisive, heavy-hitting dessert with an almond and milk core. Some will be instantly smitten, others will be scrubbing their skin red. If you dare to try, prepare for intense sweetness and don't overspray.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its strong sillage and gourmand profile, Vanilla Freak is too potent for most offices or formal events. It's best suited for casual settings or intimate dates where its sweet, comforting embrace can be fully appreciated without overwhelming a room.

Italica Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This is a beast of a gourmand; its immense sweetness and strong projection make it unsuitable for professional settings. It shines on dates or in very cold, casual environments, where a rich, inviting scent can be appreciated. It's far too heavy for sports.
