Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive throwback, simultaneously triggering nostalgia and headaches. Most agree the coconut and vanilla combo smells lush, like a gourmand summer dream - if only it would stick around longer than a quick flirt. Just don't over-spray, unless you fancy smelling like a melted candle shop.
Divisive and totally unique. American Cream is a Lush classic, but don't expect a straightforward gourmand. Prepare for creamy vanilla and a synthetic 'doll head' vibe that polarises opinions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its sweet, inviting gourmand profile makes it perfect for casual wear or dates where a delicious, creamy scent is welcome. The abysmal longevity, as repeatedly highlighted by reviewers, and the potent sweetness from the vanilla and coconut mean it's less suited for formal settings or professional environments.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its soft sillage and comforting character make it an excellent choice for casual wear, often mentioned as a bedtime or 'clean girl' scent. While some find it subtle enough for the office, its distinct, almost quirky profile might be less suited for formal events. It's too subdued and sweet for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Vanilla, Sweet, Powdery accords and Vanilla notes
