Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Parfum
An iconic, sweet vanilla that's been watered down over the years. Don't expect lasting power or complexity, but it still delivers a comforting, nostalgic hug. Best for layering, or if you simply crave that familiar vanilla hit.
Statement
Our Verdict - Tainted Love Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. Some find it a beautifully complex, dark vanilla, others get bug spray or synthetic nastiness. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its poor longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear where it won't overwhelm, and its clean, subtle vanilla is fine for an office setting if you spray lightly. It lacks the gravitas for formal occasions and isn't suited for sport due to its sweet profile and minimal projection.

Tainted Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While some find it intimate enough for the office, its sensual and mysterious nature makes it a perfect fit for a date night. The soft sillage reported by many means it won't overpower, making it versatile for a range of casual and evening wear, but it's not well-suited for sport.
