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 - Flavoury EDP
Flavoury chases Lush Vanillary's buttery jasmine-and-vanilla signature. It captures the cosy, creamy character on a budget, though it reads sweeter and simpler, missing some of the caramelised, full-bodied warmth that makes the cult original so distinctive.
