Which Should You Buy?
Un Bois Vanille is the non-gourmand vanilla for those who usually swerve the sweet stuff. Its unique woody-waxy warmth is divisive, often sparking love-it-or-hate-it debates, particularly concerning longevity. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, others a forgettable 'candle'.
A divisive vanilla: some hail it as the ultimate cosy, clean gourmand, while others are baffled by its poor projection and bizarre popcorn-like notes. Seriously lacks staying power.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and creamy, mature vanilla make it generally suitable for many occasions, especially cooler weather and more personal settings. While some find it office-friendly due to its softer sillage, the distinct beeswax and licorice might be too unique for highly formal environments or sporty activities.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its intimate sillage and short longevity, it's ideal for casual wear or bedtime rather than making a statement. It's inoffensive enough for an office setting but won't project much beyond your personal space.
Similarity Breakdown
