Working in Melaka and after a perfume with a bit of vanilla in it? Volare has two options for men that both finish on a vanilla base, but they take very different routes to get there. Society 971 goes deep and structured, while Megadose Atlas starts bright with citrus. Both are Eau de Parfum, both are made for men, and both can fit into a working week. Here's what each one brings, so you can match it to your office days.
Society 971
Society 971 is a 100ml EDP for men, and it's the more formal-leaning of the two. It opens with bergamot, apple and pepper, so the first impression is fresh with a light spicy edge. From there it moves into a heart of amberwood, lavender and patchouli, before settling on musk, cedar and vanilla. That's the key detail for this post: the vanilla sits in the base, giving the fragrance a warm finish rather than a sweet hit up front.
Its listed occasions are formal and casual, which makes it a strong pick for meetings, presentations or any day you want to smell properly put together. The store also points it towards Malaysia's tropical evenings, so it works if you're heading from the office straight to dinner. And with a 100ml bottle, you won't be topping up your collection anytime soon.
Megadose Atlas
Megadose Atlas is an 80ml EDP for men with a much brighter personality. It kicks off with juicy citrus and bergamot, then moves to a floral heart of jasmine and rose, and finally lands on musk, amber and vanilla. Society 971 also finishes with vanilla and musk, but here you arrive through citrus and florals instead of apple and pepper, so the whole feel is lighter and more energetic.
The listed occasions are casual and everyday, and that's honestly where it shines. Think the daily commute, casual office days, air-conditioned meeting rooms and the hot walk back to the car. The store describes the scent profile as intense yet balanced, so you get some presence without it filling the whole meeting room.
Which one should you wear to the office?
Both perfumes share musk and vanilla in the base, so your choice really comes down to how you want your workday to start. If your office leans formal — client meetings, corporate dress codes, that sort of thing — Society 971 lists formal among its occasions and its amberwood and lavender heart suits that mood. If your workplace is more relaxed, Megadose Atlas is built for everyday wear, and that citrus opening is a welcome thing in Malaysia's heat and humidity.
One last difference worth noting: size. Society 971 comes in 100ml, Megadose Atlas in 80ml. Otherwise, both are Eau de Parfum for men, and both give you a vanilla dry base to finish on — you're just choosing between the structured route and the fresh one.
