Volare Guide: Savour Blast Extreme or Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex? (Date Night Malaysia)

Looking for a perfume for date night in Malaysia? Volare has two EDPs that both work for an evening out, and here's the fun part: both of them touch on vanilla. But don't assume they're similar, because they're not. Savour Blast Extreme is made for men and it's the bolder of the two, while Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex is, as the name says, unisex and a lot more flexible. Here's how they compare, so you can pick the one that suits you.

Savour Blast Extreme

Savour Blast Extreme is a woody amber EDP for men, and it comes in a 100ml bottle. It opens with bergamot, pepper and cinnamon, so you get a fresh start with a spicy kick. In the heart, there's amberwood, tonka bean and lavender, and it settles into musk, patchouli and vanilla. The store lists it for special occasions, and it's also tagged for every season, so Malaysia's heat and humidity won't stop you from wearing it. If you're a guy and you want something confident for an evening out, this is the one in this guide that's made specifically for men.

Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex

Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex sits in the woody, amber and vanilla family, and it's also a 100ml EDP. Its key notes are bergamot, pink pepper, amberwood, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. It opens with luminous bergamot and pink pepper, moves into a heart of amberwood and sandalwood, and dries down to vanilla and musk. What makes it stand out in this comparison is its occasion list: formal, casual, everyday and special occasions. So it's not just a date night perfume — you can wear it to the office, on weekends, whenever. And since it's unisex, it works for anyone.

Which one should you pick for date night?

Both perfumes share amberwood and vanilla, so both give you that warm evening feel. The differences are what matter, though. Savour Blast Extreme adds cinnamon, pepper and lavender on top, and it's built for men — it's the louder, spicier choice of the two. Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex brings sandalwood into the mix, works for men and women, and you can wear it every day, not just on big nights. If you want bold and masculine for your date night, go with Savour Blast Extreme. If you'd rather have something smoother that you and a partner could both wear, and that won't just sit in the cupboard between dates, Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex is the smarter pick.

Will they hold up in Malaysia's heat?

Both of them are EDPs, so you're getting a higher concentration than an EDT, and both are listed for all seasons. That said, Malaysia is hot and humid all year round, so don't go overboard with the sprays — two or three on your pulse points is usually plenty. If your date is in an air-conditioned restaurant or mall, either one will feel right at home.
