Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sticky Dates EDP
Sticky Dates is a polarizing gourmand beast that smells like an actual bakery, not a perfume. You'll either love smelling like caramel lava or find it sickly sweet and overwhelming. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as its intensity and singular focus on dessert notes make it a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vanilla S*x - 967 EDP
A softer, less resinous take on Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex - the creamy vanilla-almond-sandalwood idea comes through, but the composition is flatter and fades faster than the original's rich, skin-warm drydown.
