Which Should You Buy?
Un Bois Vanille is the non-gourmand vanilla for those who usually swerve the sweet stuff. Its unique woody-waxy warmth is divisive, often sparking love-it-or-hate-it debates, particularly concerning longevity. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, others a forgettable 'candle'.
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either adore its comforting, baked-goods warmth or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it are completely obsessed.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent. The creamy vanilla, beeswax and dry guaiac wood read warm and cozy in autumn and winter, with the woody-balsamic drydown of sandalwood and tonka holding up best on cool skin. It can stretch into spring, but the sweetness reads heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Its intimate-to-moderate projection and creamy, mature vanilla make it an easy casual and date-night wear, and the soft sillage keeps it office-friendly. The distinctive beeswax and licorice twist is too idiosyncratic for strictly formal settings, and it lacks the freshness for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its distinctive gourmand profile, with good sillage and longevity, makes it too attention-grabbing for most offices or formal events. However, its comforting and sensual nature is perfect for casual wear or intimate dates.
