Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spiritueuse Double Vanille
This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.

Our Verdict - Lys Fume
Tom Ford's Lys Fume is a captivating, divisive floral that demands attention, yet mystifies many. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for serious lily enthusiasts, often described as a vibrant, 'bubblegum' floral with a dark, alluring twist. The hunt for this discontinued gem is real, with fans clamouring for its return despite some finding it too sweet or muddled.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Spiritueuse Double Vanille is an intimate fragrance, perfect for close encounters like dates where its subtle projection is an asset. Its rich, warm nature and luxurious feel make it suitable for formal settings and dressed-up casual wear, but its intimacy and cost mean it's not well-suited for the office or sport.

Lys Fume

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Lys Fume's powerful sillage and strong, distinctive floral-spicy profile make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might overwhelm. It excels in formal and date settings, where its luxurious, bold character and long-lasting nature can truly shine and leave a memorable impression.
