how to smell like a vanilla cake 🍰
smelling like vanilla cake is all about soft layers of cozy gourmand: a creamy vanilla heart, warm brown sugar, a kiss of buttercream, and a gentle spice to keep it interesting. i wrote the step-by-step guide so you can bake your scent just right. step 1: clean canvas — start fresh with a vanilla scented body wash (quick scrub, rinse) so the scent sits pretty. step 2: base layer — slather on a rich amount of vanilla scented body oil this first layer will help lock in moisture and scent. step 3: second base layer - slather on a rich vanilla body butter or lotion while skin is damp to lock in moisture and scent even more. step 4: oil glow — add a tiny dab of vanilla or tonka bean body oil where you want longevity (arms, chest). step 5: perfume placement — spritz a vanilla gourmand perfume on pulse points (neck, behind ears, inner wrists). don’t drown it — think warm hug, not room spray.
