Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive vanilla that either hits the mark for a 'skin but better' woody vanilla or totally misses it, smelling like bitter pencil shavings or cat litter. If you're after a grown-up, non-cloying vanilla with a spicy kick, this might be your jam - just be ready for the initial pepper blast.
An iconic, sweet vanilla that's been watered down over the years. Don't expect lasting power or complexity, but it still delivers a comforting, nostalgic hug. Best for layering, or if you simply crave that familiar vanilla hit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, sensual, and projecting nature makes it excellent for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather. While some find it subtle enough for the office, its strong sillage and 'sexy' vibe might be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not one for the gym.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its poor longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear where it won't overwhelm, and its clean, subtle vanilla is fine for an office setting if you spray lightly. It lacks the gravitas for formal occasions and isn't suited for sport due to its sweet profile and minimal projection.
