Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dolce Acqua
This one's a divisive gourmand, often sparking love-it-or-hate-it opinions. If you're after a sweet, creamy almond confection with serious staying power, you'll likely adore it. But be warned, some noses find a 'plastic' or 'play-doh' undertone, so definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Sensual Vanilla
This one is a real wildcard, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a burnt plastic nightmare, others are obsessed with its dirty vanilla charm. It might need a good sit to really come into its own, but when it does, it's a bold and nutty vanilla statement.

Occasions

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, this scent is far too potent for the office. It's perfectly suited for a date or a relaxed evening out where its sensual, warm character can truly shine. Its sweetness might feel a bit too informal for strict black-tie events.
