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 - Roses Greedy Eau de Parfum

Divisive, powerful, and utterly unapologetic. Roses Greedy is either a 'beast mode' modern rose dream or a synthetic assault on the senses. You'll need to try it to see which camp you fall into.

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.

Autumn

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

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

With its 'beast mode' projection and longevity, Roses Greedy is definitely a statement scent. It leans too bold for a quiet office but shines on dates or casual outings where its playful femininity can truly project. Its intensity might be a bit much for formal events.
