Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love ETC
This discontinued gem from The Body Shop is a divisive one- a warm, sweet, and comforting vanilla-floral that some adore for its nostalgic charm and versatility, while others find it a bit too childish or even headache-inducing. A true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mignon Black
This is Armaf's take on a seductive, powerhouse floral-vanilla with serious projection. It's a love-it-or-hate-it beast, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer subtle skin scents.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love ETC

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and sweet, inoffensive nature make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, though some find it too sweet for formal settings. Reviewers often mention wearing it for day-to-day activities, including work and school.

Mignon Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and dense, sweet profile make it less suitable for office wear. However, its 'sexy' and 'sultry' nature, as noted by reviewers, makes it ideal for dates and special evening events where you want to make an impression. It's too heavy for sport but can work for casual wear if applied lightly.
