Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Guerlain's Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21, Velour Vanilla rebuilds the grown-up spiced vanilla wrapped in opoponax, amber and musk. Owners call it very close to the original - a classy, balsamic vanilla rather than a sugary one, just a shade less refined.
This one's a real shapeshifter; some smell sweet fruit, others a more traditional amber. What's clear is Reef 31 brings solid performance and a mass-appealing, yet often unexpected, scent profile. Worth a sniff, but don't blind buy unless you like surprises.

The rich spiced vanilla and warm amber feel cosiest in the cold, suiting autumn and winter best.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, grown-up warmth shines on evenings and dates, with enough polish for formal wear and ease for casual.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its good longevity and projection make it suitable for most casual outings and dates, but its sometimes unexpected fruitiness or floral lean might not suit all formal settings. It's safe for office wear if applied lightly, as some find it quite strong.
