Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italica EDP
Italica is a true love-it-or-hate-it gourmand - a divisive, heavy-hitting dessert with an almond and milk core. Some will be instantly smitten, others will be scrubbing their skin red. If you dare to try, prepare for intense sweetness and don't overspray.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Delightful Vanilla EDP
A close, cosy budget take on Maison Margiela's Replica Afternoon Delight. Delightful Vanilla nails the cream-and-madeleine bakery sweetness; buyers rate it spot-on, though the sandalwood depth softens a touch faster than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italica

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This is a beast of a gourmand; its immense sweetness and strong projection make it unsuitable for professional settings. It shines on dates or in very cold, casual environments, where a rich, inviting scent can be appreciated. It's far too heavy for sports.

Delightful Vanilla

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm, creamy vanilla-madeleine sweetness is made for cool, cosy autumn and winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

A comforting dessert gourmand best for casual cosy wear, dates and evenings rather than formal or sporty settings.
