Vanilla Perfumes

Fragrances with vanilla, from soft and creamy to rich, boozy and gourmand.

Vanilla perfumes: warm, sweet and comforting

Vanilla is one of the best-loved notes in perfumery. Extracted from the cured pods of the vanilla orchid, grown in places like Madagascar, Tahiti and Mexico, it has a warm, creamy and slightly smoky sweetness that feels comforting and sensual at the same time. Vanilla features in everything from soft skin scents and gourmands to rich oriental blends with amber, tobacco, rum or oud.

Different sides of vanilla

• Creamy vanilla: soft, milky and cosy.
• Gourmand vanilla: with caramel, praline or coffee.
• Smoky and boozy vanilla: with tobacco, rum or bourbon notes.
• Floral vanilla: paired with orchid, jasmine or tuberose.
• Oriental vanilla: with amber, oud and spices for depth.

When to wear vanilla

Vanilla scents shine in autumn and winter and in the evening, but lighter, airy vanillas can be worn all year. Because vanilla is a base note, it lasts beautifully on the skin, often for many hours.

Layering ideas

1. Vanilla plus citrus for a fresh, creamy contrast.
2. Vanilla plus rose for romantic warmth.
3. Vanilla plus oud for a rich evening signature.
