Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille 44 Paris EDP
Prepare for a chic, understated vanilla experience with Vanille 44, though be warned: its elusive character and steep price tag are a constant source of debate. It's a love-it-or-find-it-frustrating kind of scent, divisive amongst those seeking a more traditional vanilla.

Our Verdict - Flavour IV EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Le Labo Vanilla 44 - a citrus fragrance led by Aldehydes, Orange, with vanilla depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanille 44 Paris

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its subtle sillage and intimate nature make Vanille 44 perfect for office and date settings, conveying elegance without being overpowering. While adaptable for casual wear, its luxurious character means it's less suited for energetic activities and might be too discreet for overtly formal events.

Flavour IV

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, vanilla profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
