Savour Blast Extreme and Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex: Volare Vanilla Guide for Sabah

Living in Sabah and thinking about a Volare perfume with a vanilla side? This one's for you. We're comparing two 100ml EDPs from the same brand — Savour Blast Extreme and Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex. One of them is built for everyday wear, and the other leans more towards evenings and special events, so between the two you can cover most of what your week looks like here: work, malls, dinner, the usual.

Savour Blast Extreme by Volare

Savour Blast Extreme is the men's one, an Eau de Parfum in a 100ml bottle. The store describes it as a woody amber fragrance with a bold, masculine character, and the notes tell the story in three stages. It opens with bergamot, pepper and cinnamon, moves into amberwood, tonka bean and lavender in the heart, and then settles on musk, patchouli and vanilla. So if vanilla is what caught your eye, it's there — sitting in the base, underneath everything else.

One thing to note from the product data: the listed occasion is special occasion, not everyday wear. That makes this your pick for dinners, functions and nights out rather than your regular office day. The store description even points to Malaysia's tropical evenings, which makes sense — once the heat eases up after sunset, a bolder scent like this feels right at home.

Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex

Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex is the unisex option, also an EDP in 100ml. Its fragrance family is listed as woody, amber and vanilla, with key notes of bergamot, pink pepper, amberwood, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. Vanilla isn't hiding in the background here — it's named right in the family line-up, alongside amberwood and sandalwood.

This is the flexible one of the pair. Its occasions cover formal, casual, everyday and special occasions, which in real life means you can wear it to the office, a casual weekend out, or a function without changing bottles. And since it's unisex, it works if you'd rather have one scent that both you and your partner can reach for.

Which one should you pick?

• If daily wear is the goal: Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex is the clear answer, since everyday and casual are both on its occasion list.
• If it's for a man and mostly for events: Savour Blast Extreme is made for men, and its data points to special occasions.
• If you want vanilla up front: Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex lists it in the fragrance family itself, while in Savour Blast Extreme it sits in the base notes.
• If you want something to share: Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex is unisex, while Savour Blast Extreme is for men.

A word about our weather

Sabah is hot and humid all year round, and most of us move between outdoor heat and air-conditioned offices and malls. Both of these are Eau de Parfums, so there's no need to go heavy with the sprays. A lighter hand usually works better in this humidity, especially during the day.

Final thoughts

For a general daily-wear pick in Sabah, Society 974 Volare EDP Unisex fits the brief most naturally. If you're shopping for a man and want something for evenings and special events instead, that's where Savour Blast Extreme comes in. Either way, you're getting a 100ml EDP from Volare with vanilla in the notes.
