Which Should You Buy?
Note Vanillée is a divisive beast, with some hailing its boozy vanilla as a sophisticated dream, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as an "old lady" floral mess or even (gasp!) pickle juice. Don't blind buy this one, unless you fancy a gamble.
This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, often dubbed a clone of YSL Manifesto. While some find its dense, sweet, powdery character intoxicating and luxurious, others are put off by a harsh, screechy opening and poor blending. A definite room-filler if the blend works for you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and warm, boozy vanilla character make it ideal for dates and casual evenings. While some find it elegant enough for formal settings, the powdery and sometimes 'vintage' feel might not suit all office environments.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and sweet, dense profile make it less suitable for an office environment, but it shines on dates or cooler casual outings. Though some reviews mention it's suitable for the office, the general consensus points to a bolder presence, better suited for evenings or when making a statement.
