Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive one. Many find it a comforting, boozy vanilla dream - a grown-up take on Warm Vanilla Sugar. But others are put off by a persistent 'Play-Doh' note or a bitter herbal edge. Performance seems to be a real mixed bag too.
A truly polarising beast, Junoon Velvet Pour Homme is either a 'ravishing' and 'opulent' scent or 'weird herbs' and 'not a pleasant smell'. If you can ride out the divisive opening, you'll find a luxurious, velvety leather drydown that punches well above its price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
While some find it office-appropriate, its strong amber, vanilla, and rum accords, combined with reports of decent longevity and sillage, make it better suited for evening dates and casual settings. Its cosy, rich nature might be too much for formal daytime events or sport.
