Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanillary EDP
This one is as divisive as it gets. On one hand, a creamy, buttery vanilla with a sensual jasmine edge. On the other, a rancid, urine-soaked nightmare. You either love its unique, raw character, or you're reaching for the nearest scrub brush. Try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.
Statement
Our Verdict - Imperial Vanilla EDP
If you're after a sophisticated, grown-up vanilla that steps above the usual gourmand fare, Imperial Vanilla might just be your new obsession. It’s got that cosy, warm hug vibe with a classy edge, polarising some for its kinship to other popular vanillas but winning over many for its refined take.
