Which Should You Buy?
Vanilla Freak is a divisive gourmand. One sniff and you'll either be craving a bakery feast or running for the hills. Expect a full-on, lactonic sugar rush that's not for the faint of heart, unless you're a true vanilla freak.
This is a gourmand lover's dream if you're after a rich, creamy white chocolate, but be warned, the star anise can be utterly divisive. Don't expect subtlety; this one's a beast.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it completely unsuitable for the office. It's a fantastic choice for dates or casual evenings out in cold weather, where its warmth truly shines, but its gourmand nature makes it too informal for most formal events.
