Women’s Perfume
My favourite perfumes for women — especially vanilla, gourmand, warm, sweet and compliment-worthy scents. 💕 I’ll tell you what they smell like, when I’d wear them and whether I think they’re worth buying.
My go-to when I want something bold, feminine and sexy. 🖤
Libre Intense is deeper and richer than the original Libre, with a beautiful mix of lavender, orange blossom and warm vanilla. It has a slightly floral opening that settles into this smooth, ...
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense Perfume
One of my favourite Libre fragrances. 🤎
Warm, rich and sweet with that signature Libre DNA, but much more vanilla-forward. This feels luxurious and sexy without smelling overly sugary. I’d wear this for date nights, fall/winter or anytime I want som...
YSL Beauty Libre Vanille Couture Eau de Parfum
A classic for a reason. ✨ Sweet, feminine and instantly recognizable, with vanilla, iris and that warm gourmand feel. This is the type of perfume I’d reach for when I want something pretty, polished and noticeable without having to think too hard abo...
La Vie Est Belle - Lancôme
Black Opium just got a fruity pink makeover and I HAD to include it. 🍓🖤 Strawberry gives the familiar coffee, jasmine and vanilla combination a sweeter, juicier twist. If you already love the Black Opium DNA but want something fruitier and more pla...
Black Opium Pink Glaze Eau de Parfum - Yves Saint Laurent
If you love vanilla, this belongs on your smell-it-at-least-once list. 🤎 It's warm, sweet and cozy rather than a super light sugary vanilla, with brown sugar, tonka, amber woods and a little depth from patchouli. It's also SO easy to layer with othe...
VANILLA | 28 - KAYALI
Pretty, feminine and romantic — this is very much a “she has her life together” perfume to me. 🌸 I like Miss Dior when I want something more floral and elegant instead of going full gourmand. It's a beautiful option for daytime, special occasions or...
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum - DIOR
This is for the sweet-gourmand girls. 🍓🍦 Strawberry, fluffy pink marshmallow and whipped vanilla make this smell playful, creamy and delicious. It's definitely sweeter than something I'd choose when I want a sophisticated floral, but when I want to...
YUM BOUJEE MARSHMALLOW | 81 Eau de Parfum Intense - KAYALI
Miss Dior's richer, more grown-up sister. 🌹 This is the one I'd choose when I want the femininity of Miss Dior but with more depth and presence. It feels elegant and special-occasion worthy rather than an everyday sweet perfume.
Miss Dior Parfum - DIOR
Creamy berries + vanilla = such a good combination. 🍓🤍 Her Elixir takes that fruity Burberry Her style and makes it richer, warmer and creamier with strawberry, blackberry, jasmine, vanilla and amber. If you like fruity perfumes but still want some...
Her Elixir de Parfum with Dark Red Berries, Jasmine & Vanilla - BURBERRY
Okay, gourmand lovers… this one sounds almost edible. 😭🍮 Caramel milk, salted caramel, white chocolate, vanilla and soft musk make this an unapologetically sweet fragrance. Definitely not for someone looking for fresh and clean — this is for the gi...
BOUJEE KITTY CARAMEL MILK 22 | Eau de Parfum - KAYALI
Fruity, feminine and one of those perfumes that's incredibly easy to wear. 💕 The berries are the star here, softened by jasmine, amber and musk. Compared with Her Elixir, I'd pick the original when I want something brighter and fruitier, and Elixir ...
Her Eau de Parfum - BURBERRY
Rare Beauty surprised me by going straight into gourmand territory. 🤎 Caramel, vanilla and sandalwood give this a warm, sweet base, but there's also pistachio and ginger in the fragrance so it's not just another basic vanilla. I also really apprecia...
Rare Eau de Parfum with Vanilla and Caramel - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
A completely different direction from the original Rare fragrance. 🍐🌸 This one starts brighter and fruitier with pear before moving into gardenia, jasmine and warm vanilla bean. I'd look at this one if you like sweetness but don't necessarily want ...
Rare Beginnings Eau de Parfum with Pear and Gardenia - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
Men’s Cologne
Men’s fragrances that smell GOOD. From everyday fresh scents to warm, sexy date-night colognes that make an impression.
One of those men’s fragrances that just smells incredibly attractive. 🖤
Warm, smooth and slightly spicy with amber, tobacco and woody notes. It’s masculine and sophisticated without being too strong or overwhelming. I especially love this for evenin...
Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men By Eau De Parfum
One of my absolute favourites on a man. 🖤 It has this clean, masculine freshness but there's a subtle sweetness underneath that makes it SO good. Bergamot keeps it fresh while the ambery woods give it warmth. If you want something masculine without ...
Paradigme Eau de Parfum with Bergamot - Prada
Clean, modern and ridiculously easy to like. MYSLF starts fresh and citrusy but the orange blossom, warm woods and vanilla give it a softer finish. This is the kind of cologne I'd recommend when you want something versatile enough for everyday but st...
MYSLF Eau de Parfum with Fresh Accord & Warm Woods - Yves Saint Laurent
This is NOT your basic fresh men's cologne. 🖤 Ombré Leather is darker, bolder and built around leather, so it has much more attitude than your typical everyday fragrance. I'd choose this for someone who wants their scent to actually make a statement...
Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum - TOM FORD
This smells like dressed-up date night to me. 🥃🖤 The whisky accord mixed with iris, amber woods and cedar gives it a smooth, warm and sophisticated feel. Definitely one I'd reach for in cooler weather or when you want something that feels a little ...
Gentleman Eau de Parfum Réserve Privée - Givenchy
If you like sweeter men's fragrances, START HERE. 🤎 Pink pepper and lavender give it some spice, but the warm chestnut, amber woods and vanilla are what make this one so addictive. Cozy, sweet and sexy — this is made for fall/winter and date nights.
Stronger With You Intensely with Pink Pepper & Vanilla - Armani Beauty
Vanilla in men's cologne done RIGHT. 🖤 This combines vanilla with lavender and smoky vetiver, so it's sweet without losing that masculine edge. I'd put this firmly in the evening/date-night category — especially if you're shopping for someone who al...
Uomo Born in Roma Intense Eau de Parfum with Vanilla - Valentino
For someone who wants woody and masculine without going super sweet. Hero has a deeper, warmer feel that makes it a nice change from all the vanilla-heavy men's fragrances. This is one I'd look at for an everyday signature scent that still has some d...
Hero Eau de Parfum with Pine & Cedarwood - BURBERRY
Expensive, bold and absolutely not shy. 🤎 Tobacco leaf, vanilla, tonka, cocoa and warm spices create this rich, almost decadent scent. It's technically unisex, but I LOVE this type of warm tobacco-vanilla profile on a man. A little goes a long way w...
Tobacco Vanille - TOM FORD
💙 Fresh citrus and aquatic notes give it that clean cologne feel, while patchouli and the woody side keep it from smelling too basic. If some of the sweeter, heavier fragrances on this list feel like too much, Dylan Blue is the much easier grab-and-...
Dylan Blue - Versace
✨ Fragrance Layering & Mists
The finishing touches ✨ Mists, balms and layering finds for customizing your scent and making your fragrance routine a little more fun. 🤎
Such a fun way to customize a perfume you already own. ☁️🤍 Instead of being another full fragrance bottle, this is a solid layering balm you can use to add a sweeter marshmallow touch to your scent. I'd especially play with this underneath warm vani...
Sweet Marshmallow Fragrance Layering Balm - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
For the days when you want to smell good without committing to a full perfume moment. 🥥✨ I love the idea of a hair-and-body mist for something lighter, easy to reapply and perfect for layering underneath a favourite perfume.
