Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Vanilla Eau de Parfum

Divisive and misleadingly named, Black Vanilla is more 'Baby Powder Violet' than 'Dark Vanilla'. Expect a hefty dose of powdery floral notes with a vanilla undercurrent, rather than a rich gourmand. Not a safe blind buy, especially for men, despite its unisex billing.

Our Verdict - Someday Eau de Parfum

Divisive, nostalgic, and often dismissed as 'basic,' Someday by Justin Bieber is a sugary sweet trip down memory lane for many. Don't let the celebrity name put you off - or make you spray with reckless abandon, as this fruity floral can be surprisingly potent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Vanilla Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its powdery and strong sillage makes it less ideal for a formal office setting where subtlety is key. The comforting, feminine-leaning profile, often described as 'clean' or 'soft', suits casual wear or dates, though its potency requires light application. It's too heavy for sport and lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Someday Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

This scent's moderate sillage and sweetness make it a good fit for casual wear; several reviews mention it as a great everyday or school scent. However, its 'loud' and potentially 'overwhelming' nature for some users suggests caution for formal or office settings.
