Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex is ridiculously divisive - a love-it-or-hate-it scent that some find heavenly and others, frankly, disgusting. It's a bold, animalic vanilla that absolutely demands a full wear-test before you splash out.
Vanilla Six envelops you in a luxurious, creamy sweetness perfect for intimate occasions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With its strong sillage, animalic facets, and often polarising nature, this isn't one for the office or casual settings where subtlety is preferred. It's clearly designed for intimate, sensual encounters, making it an ideal choice for a date, though perhaps too much for a formal event.
Seasons
Vanilla Six's warm and rich notes are ideal for cooler temperatures. Its vanilla and amber base makes it suited for fall and winter wears, while it can serve in spring but might be heavy for summer days.
Occasions
The sweet and sensual accords of Vanilla Six make it an excellent choice for dates and formal occasions. It can be used casually but might be overpowering in close office settings.
