Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Fatale
A decadent, smoldering vanilla with a dark edge - tobacco, coffee, and suede transform sweetness into something mature and magnetic. For those who want more depth and drama than typical vanilla.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fatal de Vanille
If you're after a Tom Ford experience without the stratospheric price tag, this spot-on clone delivers. Be warned though, some find the vanilla takes a backseat to the rich tobacco-myrrh combo, making it surprisingly divisive for a 'vanilla' scent.
