Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Exquis Eau de Parfum
Noir Exquis is a divisive, albeit adored, sophisticated take on a gourmand. Expect a rich, comforting, woody vanilla with a gentle coffee and maple warmth. Be warned: performance is a roll of the dice.

Our Verdict - Vanilla Sky Eau de Parfum
Vanilla Sky is a divisive vanilla-gourmand with a soft, creamy coffee opening that some adore for its cozy sweetness, while others dismiss it as fleeting, generic, and overpriced. It's often compared to body sprays, meaning its appeal hinges on whether you value a subtle, comforting vanilla or expect more punch.
