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 - Limitless Shopping Via della Spiga Eau de Parfum

A truly gorgeous, unique gourmand-leaning floral, though some reckon its creamy dry-down might be a touch too powdery. This is a "love at first sniff" for many, offering an expensive feel without the designer price tag.

Seasons

Best For:

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.

Formal

Its moderate sillage and comforting, clean sweetness make it highly versatile for most settings, including office wear, though some find it a bit too prominent. The luxurious yet approachable blend of honey, apple, and florals suits casual outings and dates particularly well, with many reviewers finding it utterly unique and 'signature-worthy'.
