Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille de Tahiti Eau de Parfum
This isn't your average fluffy vanilla. Vanille de Tahiti is a deliciously divisive beast, a raw, sensual take on the note that some adore and others find utterly repulsive. You absolutely need to try this on skin before committing - its indolic florals are not for everyone, but if they work, they really work.
Statement
Our Verdict - West Side Eau de Parfum
This one is a properly divisive beast - people either rave about its boozy rose and vanilla elegance or recoil from a sickly, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it before you commit to a full bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanille de Tahiti Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

While some find it office-appropriate, its potent and often 'dirty' opening could be too distracting for work. This fragrance truly shines on a date night or during casual outings where its sensual, unique character can be appreciated, though its strong sillage limits formal wear.

West Side Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and rich, boozy gourmand notes make it too imposing for office wear but perfect for dates and evening events. Casual wear is possible, especially in cooler weather, but it's certainly more dressy than relaxed.
