Which Should You Buy?
Manila Glee is a bold, sweet treat. It's a heady tropical gourmand that leans into its sweetness without apology. Expect compliments if you're into unapologetic indulgence.
If you are a fan of sickly sweet, syrupy fruit concoctions, this one's for you. Phlur's Vanilla Nectar is a divisive, super-sweet body mist that smells like candied fruit and vanilla, with some even calling it a cheaper dupe for Montale's Sweet Vanilla.

Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its potent sweetness and tropical fruitiness make Vanilla Nectar far too loud for the office or formal events. However, its playful and delicious profile is perfect for casual outings or a fun date night, leaning into its body mist status for informal settings.
