Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Bean Noel Eau de Parfum

Vanilla Bean Noel is a divisive gourmand. When it hits right, it's a wonderfully sweet, lactonic vanilla dream that evokes pure comfort. But, be warned, some batches and skin chemistries turn it into a total stinker. You'll either love smelling like a sugar cookie or hate smelling like 'vomit and ass'.

Statement

Our Verdict - Escapade Gourmande Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.

Vanilla Bean Noel Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Its sweet, gourmand nature and weak longevity make it unsuitable for formal or office settings. However, it's a perfect casual scent, especially for intimate dates or relaxed everyday wear, as highlighted by reviews mentioning wearing it post-shower for a comforting feel.

Escapade Gourmande Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.
