Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Aura EDP
This one's a proper lightning rod. Some find it a 'heavenly smelling goodness' that matures into a spicy-sweet vanilla dream, while others are stuck with 'burnt rubber' or 'stale cigarette smoke'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this divisive gourmand.

Our Verdict - Signature Elixir EDP
A deeper, sexier twist on the original Signature, this Elixir is a vanilla-heavy crowd-pleaser for those who love a sweet, sophisticated scent. Some find it a bit too much, but for many, it's a confident, elegant evening choice.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanilla Aura

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for most office environments. The rich, sensual gourmand profile is ideal for dates and evening events, but its divisive nature means it's a risk for formal settings.

Signature Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and sweet, deep character make it less suitable for an office setting but perfect for dates and evening events. The warm, cosy vibe also lends itself well to formal occasions and general casual autumn/winter wear.
