Which Should You Buy?
This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.
A cult classic that's become a unicorn, Lanvin Avant Garde is a sweet, spicy tobacco dream. It's a shame it's discontinued, leaving behind a loyal fanbase and exorbitant resale prices.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy and vanilla-heavy profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. While it has moderate projection, its richness isn't ideal for the office or formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.
