Which Should You Buy?
Commodity Gold is a seriously divisive vanilla. Some find it a luxurious, grown-up take on the classic, while others moan it's simply basic and astonishingly weak. Go in with an open mind, but keep your expectations for performance in check - it's a skin scent for many.
This is a bold, amber powerhouse that's dividing opinion. Some say it's luxurious and sensuous, others find it sickly sweet and cloying. If you can wear it, it's a steal, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, warm vanilla profile make it ideal for casual wear and office settings where strong fragrances are unwelcome. It's too subtle for a formal occasion and obviously unsuitable for sport given its delicate nature.
