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 - Dolce Foresta EDT

This one's a proper beast, a thick, dark, foresty amber that's not for the faint of heart. It's a statement piece, but definitely not a blind buy.
