Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget take on Kayali's cult Vanilla 28. Sweet II captures that sugary brown-sugar-and-vanilla heart wrapped in warm amber, musk and patchouli - the rich, sweet gourmand that went viral. Wearers rate the likeness high, though the budget version leans a touch sweeter and flatter, the amber depth not quite as resinous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, sometimes challenging, scent profile make Vanillary a poor choice for the office. However, its bold and sensual nature is well-suited for dates or casual wear, leaving a memorable impression if it aligns with your skin chemistry and preference.
Seasons
The sugary brown-sugar vanilla and warm amber make this a cold-weather scent built for autumn and winter; too sweet and heavy for warm months.
Occasions
Its cosy, sweet warmth suits evenings, dates and snug days in; too sweet and informal for the office or sport.
