Which Should You Buy?
This is a truly divisive one, a love-it-or-hate-it lactonic bomb that manages to be both ethereal and intensely full-on. Expect compliments, or be ready for comparisons to baby vomit - there's no in-between.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its beast-mode longevity and strong sillage, this scent is best suited for dates or casual evenings where its creamy, sensual nature can truly shine. It's likely too potent for an office, and definitely not one for sport.
Seasons
Rock-sugar opening and the vanilla heart land warmest in autumn and winter; can carry into spring as a comfort wear. Less suited to summer where the sugary depth overheats.
Occasions
A sweet vanilla candy reads as casual and date-night first - gourmand sweetness is the headline, so it's playful rather than formal. Office wearable in cool weather at restrained sprays.
