Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Van Py Rhum Eau de Parfum

This is a bold, divisive, love-it-or-hate-it vanilla bomb that swings between boozy delight and cloying overdose. If you're after a dark, sweet, and unique statement scent, this might just be your intoxicating potion, provided you can handle the intensity.

Our Verdict - Looking for Vanilla Parfum

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't just vanilla. Looking for Vanilla is a polarising, powerhouse scent that throws surprise cherry and almond notes into a thick, sweet vanilla and patchouli mix. It's an absolute beast in terms of longevity.

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Several reviews highlight this scent as 'strong' and 'projects like crazy' with 'insane longevity', making it unsuitable for most office environments. Its sweet, gourmand character and sensual jasmine make it perfect for date nights and evening wear, but less so for formal events or casual daytime use where its intensity might be overwhelming. The rich sweetness and long wear are well-suited for colder weather.
