Vanilla Sky: Gourmand Scent
My favorite milky sweetness scent
Milk – Commodity Fragrances (US)
the hype on this one is real. It opens up super fruity and sweet, think strawberries and fluffy marshmallow, then dries down into this soft, creamy vanilla. It’s girly and fun without being a headache-inducing sugar bomb.
Fair warning though: longe...
if you like sweet, this one is it. It opens with candied pear and bubblegum which sounds chaotic but it actually works, then dries down into this warm vanilla and tonka base that feels way more grown up than the opening suggest! The dry down cannot b...
SEPHORA
This one is for when you want to smell like real vanilla, not candy. It’s warm, creamy, and rich with a subtle coconut undertone that gives it a slightly tropical feel. The coconut is more present than the name lets on, so if you were expecting a str...
Madagascar Vanilla | NEST New York
This one starts off with a fruity juicy pear note, which sounds unexpected for a vanilla fragrance but it works really well, then settles into a warm, creamy vanilla and caramel base with just enough amber to give it depth. It’s sweet but not sugary ...
Vanilla Woods - Vanilla Gourmand Perfume
the OG that started a lot of people’s vanilla fragrance obsession, including mine 🙊

It’s not sweet or dessert-y at all… it’s more like warm, creamy, skin but better vanilla. The pink pepper gives it this subtle spicy edge that keeps it from being a one-dimensional typ...
Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist - PHLUR
this is a playful, clean and gourmand fragrance
It’s milky, fluffy, and sweet — marshmallow and coconut cream up front, then vanilla mousse and salted caramel in the base. It’s been a viral sell-out for a reason.

Whipped Cherry Eau de Parfum with Vanilla and Coconut - CLEAN RESERVE | Sephora
Bought the travel size and instantly regretted it. I had to size up immediately!
The brown sugar and dulce de leche notes make it smell almost edible in a non-overwhelming way. The hinoki wood in the base keeps it grounded so it never goes full dess...
DULCE travel spray with vanilla - By Rosie Jane | Sephora
This is different than any other vanillas I’ve tried. It opens fresh and a little aquatic with that sea salt note, then blooms into creamy whipped vanilla with jasmine and ylang ylang, and dries down into something soft, warm, and slightly powdery. I...

This is sweet vanilla that punches above its price point. Notes of vanilla, caramel, pear, pistachio, and amber make it feel a little more interesting than a basic vanilla perfume.
Vanilla Baby Eau de Parfum - Truly | Ulta Beauty
This perfume has so many layers to explore! It opens with caramel, pistachio, and pink pepper, then moves into vanilla and ginger, and dries down into sandalwood and musk. The ginger keeps it from being too sweet and gives it this warm, slightly spic...
Shop Our Fragrance Products
This is really more of a dark, warm, musky vanilla with amberwood and jasmine florals. It’s less soft serve, more sophisticated and slightly edgy.
You’ll be disappointed if you go in expecting a sweet gourmand, it’s definitely a deeper and darker v...

if you love that fresh out of the dryer smell, this one nails it. It’s exactly what it sounds like: citrus and verbena up top, soft cotton florals in the middle, and a warm musk and amber dry down that smells like clean laundry on a sunny day. It’s n...
CLEAN CLASSIC - Clean Perfumes
This one’s poetic & is genuinely unlike anything else. Created in collaboration with Robert Eggers’ 2024 film, it smells like a thunderstorm outside a vampire’s castle — and somehow makes that completely wearable. Petrichor, wet earth, lilac, vio...
Heretic Parfum
the only dedcool perfume that I actually like; this is a lighter but still yummy fragrance. It has a creamy tendency with some vanilla. For some reason it reminds me of the smell of boba.
The notes are marshmallow, and peach nectar on top, then drie...

SALT Eau de Parfum - Ellis Brooklyn | Ulta Beauty
Fruity
don’t sleep on this one just because it’s affordable.
It’s honey, mandarin, sandalwood, and praline and it smells way more expensive than it is. The honey isn’t heavy or medicinal, it’s soft and slightly floral, and the mandarin gives it this fresh...

It’s guava, mango, and mandarin up front… super bright and juicy without smelling fake or candy-ish, then it warms down into vanilla and sandalwood which gives it just enough depth to keep it interesting. It’s the kind of scent that instantly puts yo...
