Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Bourbon

This one's a divisive cheapie, giving some big-time boozy vanilla and others a spicy, smoky mess. Prepare for an intriguing ride on different skin chemistries. When it works, it's an absolute steal; when it doesn't, well, you've been warned.

Our Verdict - Fumee de Jasmin

Floris London's Fumee de Jasmin is a sophisticated, smoky floral that's not for everyone. It's an acquired taste, with a distinctive depth often misjudged, landing it firmly in the 'love it or leave it' camp.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and boozy, warm accords make it less suitable for professional settings, leaning into a more intimate, casual, or evening vibe. Performance is strong for the price, fitting well for events where it can make a statement without overwhelming.

Best For:

Also Works:

Casual

This perfume's deep, complex profile and moderate sillage make it a standout for evening and formal wear. It's a bit too heavy and distinctive for an office setting but works well for an intimate dinner or a special occasion.
