Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Andalusian Soul Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Oriental Soul Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper grown-up vanilla, swaddled in smoky amber and a whisper of green. It's a gorgeous-smelling scent, though some find its longevity less than stellar, so bear that in mind.

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.

With its warm, sensual accords of amber and vanilla it's perfectly suited for dates and formal events. It's a bit too rich for the office or sport, but the moderate sillage makes it work for casual evenings if worn sparingly.
